My baby

I am loving every second of Tyler. Just knowing that he is my last baby reminds me to soak in every moment. He is so fun to watch too. T is my little funny face- because honestly have you seen this face? He is ridiculously expressive.

 

He has started to roll over on the bed... and thinks he is so funny when he starts to move. He HATES bathtime and could do without the car too. Which would be fine if those weren't Ethan's favorite things. They are certainly each their own creatures.

 

 

On our evening walks he has moved to the "big boy" seat and Ethan thinks it's too funny. He laughs and points saying "TT!!TT!!"

 

To sooth himself to sleep he sucks on his fingers and would much rather sleep with me or on me than in his crib but he is sleeping through the night in his own room. There are certainly nights however that I linger in holding him and SLOWLY put him back in bed.

He is already doing things that I am not ready for- playing with his toys, recognizing voices and faces, talking, laughing, moving, reaching to hold his own bottle- SLOW DOWN TIME PLEASE!!!

 

WELCOME FALL

God has brought us another wonderful Fall. Thank goodness. I am so done with the heat. The trees in our backyard actually turn colors other than green for at least THREE DAYS before all the leaves fall off. And when they do its time for major fun!! Mommy gets out the rake and Ethan goes to town jumping and throwing all the leaves. Hours, literally, of fun!

Ethan loves our slide and calls it the "Wee" since he says "WEEEE" all the way down. He has learned to climb WAY too early (he first started when I was bedrest- lovely!). And as you can see he doesnt care who is on the slide- he just slides down and laughs the whole time.

Tyler is such a chill baby- UNTIL HE ISN'T. He certainly knows what he wants and want it EXACTLY when he wants it. However, mommy and daddy still haven't figured out exactly what it is he wants and sometimes it is a long guessing game. But this precious boy is certainly worth every second.

Halloween

 

In case I haven't said it before I LOVE Halloween. And I am praying that my boys find the love that I have. This year they are still too young to get it- or enjoy things like face paint. With Ethan hating to wear hats and HATING facepaint I was good to get a tshirt on him. =)

 

I had a friend pick up a Baylor football shirt from the bookstore and dressed Tyler up as a football. They were too cute. On the day of Halloween the boys were INSANE and Bryan was at work- but I was determined to do some sort of celebration. Luckily my sister  came over to help get the boys ready and we headed to my grandmas and my parents house. That was all they could handle!

 

 

 

This year we got to go to our first Trunk or Treat- which I still think is NOT AS FUN as trick or treating. But Ethan LOVED riding the pony and seeing all the costumes. But of course we spent most of the time on the playground since his class isn't allowed on the big playground during school.

 

Holidays are important to me- a day to set apart to really celebrate. I pray the boys find as much joy in these days as I do.

 

In the meantime I am trying to find something to celebrate EVERYDAY! Little victories, new words, learning to feed ourselves with a spoon, good naptimes... everyday a celebration!
