eight months

Miles is now eight months old and is such a little person. It seems like he just turned into a little person overnight and is no longer a tiny baby. He started clapping and rocking on all fours on the same day. The following week, he started crawling! He's also developed a little bit of a temper and will throw himself on the floor if you do something that he doesn't like. This always makes me laugh even though I shouldn't. I mean seriously, an eight month old is throwing himself on the floor because I took a hanger away from him. It's pretty hilarious. Even with the little rare fit, he is still such a little love-bug. He's also very proud of himself that he can now clap.

One of Logan's favorite things to do these days... ride the 'Carouself' at the zoo.

clapping!

he was having a blast playing in front of a mirror

halloween

Logan had her very first sucker ever on halloween day. She is forever changed. We pretty much hear about suckers every day.

We went to a little fall festival. Logan thoroughly enjoyed bouncing in the inflatable bounce houses and we all enjoyed a hay ride.
And here is the bumblebee.

This girl was SO excited about halloween. She told us she was ready for halloween every day. As a matter of fact, she's still telling us that she's ready for halloween. ....then she says she's ready for thanksgiving.

stopping to take a picture while out trick-or-treating

as you can see, logan is more interested in her candy than smiling for the camera


her head is completely soaked... it was such a yucky, hot and humid night. ...she was not bothered in the least by this!

and here we are with yet another sucker... the perfect way to end a halloween evening!

birthday party fun

Logan and I recently attended a birthday party for our friend, Savannah. Unfortunately, these are the only pictures I got. Logan had a blast sliding on the big inflatable slide. I also had a great time and it was so good to see old friends!

boo at the zoo!

seven months

My little buddy is seven months old! He's such a little person now. He is grabbing for everything within his reach and holding on to it with a vice grip. This grip sometimes includes Logan's ear, hair or clothes in which she appropriately responds by shrieking until I can pry his little slimy paws off. He loves putting everything in his mouth. He is a paci addict and is proficient at picking them up and putting them in his mouth. Hallelujah! This means my days (and nights!) of being a pacifier retriever are nearly over. Now, I litter his crib with at least three pacifiers in hopes that he can find one to pop in his mouth when he wakes up. He is still waking at least once, often twice, at night to eat. He's now eating a fruit puree in the morning and oatmeal cereal and a vegetable at dinner. Just this last week has he really gotten into food. Before, he had just not been interested at all. Now he gets a little bit excited when he sees food coming his way.

Miles continues to be such a joyful and sweet boy. He's always smiling and talking and blowing raspberries. We don't think it will be long before he's mobile. I'm almost hyperventilating thinking about how hectic life is about to get. Miles is a busy boy right now. I can't imagine how busy he's going to be once he's crawling!

these boots were made for walking

I bought Logan some target FUGGs (Faux UGGs,) the other day and she is so excited. I personally, am not a fan of them for myself, but I think they're absolutely hilarious on her. She thinks they're her cowboy boots. She puts them on and says she "Needs to giddy up." =) She is a funny girl.

Here is my smiley boy. He is all smiles pretty much all the time. Of course, he's also drooley all the time, too!

Here are some pictures from early October. Miles enjoyed himself in the play yard while Logan enjoyed being her wild self.

fun with friends

Here are a few pictures from the beginning of Oct...
