Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks to Constance and Barbara for taking the below pictures on Thanksgiving as I didn't even get our camera out of the bag! I have to start doing better about that!

A month later

So I'm sorry it's taken me so long to post again. Life just gets in the way sometimes... This was a busy month partially filled with sickness (stomach virus for 3 of us and colds for the 4 of us). Hopefully next month we'll all feel better.

We had a short visit from some of my family from NC, but unfortunately no pictures to show for it! Rachel spent a fun weekend with Aunt Constance and Uncle Jeffrey and loved every minute of it.

Jackson continues to get bigger and bigger and is such a cutie. He's four months old now and has that check-up in the morning. He is about to roll over from his back to his tummy any day now and can sit up - as long as you support him.

Here are a few pictures from the month.

First thing in the morning, hanging on the couch.

My three loves getting ready for school.

Sitting much better in the Bumbo seat now.

Pajamas, Smiles, Family and 3 Months Old!

I meant to post these last week and time has gotten away from me - as usual. Here are some random pictures as well as Jackson's three month shots.

Jackson smiles more and more these days. It's so fun to see him light up when you start talking to him. He loves the attention.

Who let the crazy girl out??

First time in the Bumbo seat!

First visit with Uncle Jeremy and Aunt Cathy.

Just hanging out in the bushes...

They looked like they needed a little watering...

Princess and the Cow

Happy Halloween! Rachel really enjoyed her Halloween this year. She did a Trunk or Treat last weekend, got to dress up for school on Friday, and went trick-or-treating tonight. I think she has enough suckers to last her a year! Rachel was a princess and Jackson was a cow - the same cow that Rachel was as a baby. He's three months and Rachel was five months old when she wore it (the last picture below is of Rachel when she wore it - so you can compare!).

About to go trick-or-treating.

In the wagon, ready for daddy to take her down to the big road.

By this point (only been to the four houses by us), Jackson was tuckered out. He fell asleep on me for the next 30 minutes. Michael took Rachel to the rest of the houses and Jackson and I gave out the candy at home.

Asleep on mommy...

Rachel at 5 months as the cow...

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch this morning - boy was that fun. NOT! Rachel was tired and was a pill the whole time making the experience less than enjoyable. You can see we didn't get very many pictures of her actually happy.

A rare happy moment - showing off the two little ones she picked out for her and Jackson.

Maybe next year's will be better!

Two Months Old

I wanted to do his two month photo session outside, but it turned out to be a rainy day...so we improvised and did it all inside - with a crying baby and a three year old that didn't want to cooperate.
At his two month check up last week, he now weighs 13.5 pounds. He is starting to sleep through the night as well which is so nice!
