MC Getting Mobile

Getting close anyways! She is able to raise herself up with her arms pretty well and now she can spin herself around on her belly too. She might be an early crawler like R, we'll see. She definitely gets frustrated now when things are out of her reach. So cute when she's mad. She's also more vocal, she likes yelling at her toys I've noticed. Her favorite one to yell at is her bathtub fishie. She actually cried when I tried to take it from her yesterday when we were all done!

Halloween Party!

Our Halloween party was last weekend and it was so much fun! This year since the kids were a bit older we did some games. Pumpkin bowling, bean bag toss, bobbing for apples (with a net!) and more. I even did it up Pinterest style and made my own Punch a Bunch inspired by the Price is Right. I was so proud of it haha! The kids got to punch out tissue paper cups to find prizes inside. Super cute. The best though was the mummy walk - Casey and Rutherford got wrapped up in toilet paper and had to walk across the backyard like mummies. Hilarious.

I think the kids had the most fun in the bounce house though! Great time this year, R was super excited to host the party and I think all the kiddos had fun.

 

Olive, Casey, Max and Rutherford. The only way we got them to pose was promising the bounce house if they stayed still for one minute ;)

 

Mummy walk!

 The Punch a Bunch! I am so totally doing this again. It didn't take too long and what a cool effin thing to do when you're a kid!

 The bounce house reigned supreme. One of our best purchases ever.

All the fun wore MC out.

R's Sunday Breakfast

Toy catalog, ovaltine, pumpkin Mickey waffle and fruit. It's good to be three.

Mary-Charlotte: Rolling Over

Our little girl is five months old already! I cannot believe how fast everything is going by with her. It breaks my heart a little as I know a big part of it is just how busy we are with the two kids. When it was just R I had a lot of long, quiet times with him. It was just him and I most of the day, almost every day. I was able to linger over his moments much more than I'm able with Mary-Charlotte. Now my day is more like wakeupnursebabychangerutherfordmakebreakfastfeeddogsdrinkcoffeenursebabycleanupdishesdogsoutbrushrutherfordsteethbabynap. And that's before 9am.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. It just hurts a little that it's going by so fast. I absolutely wish I could freeze her in this moment just for a few extra months.

Baby girl is rolling over so well! So proud of her :) She looks very pleased with herself when she does it and I love watching her little fat legs work at it. She is a wonderful little marvelous thing and my heart swells with love and gratitude for our little baby girl. She is a perfect addition to our family and we all love her very much.

 

She's getting the hang of her exersaucer. R likes that he can spin her around in it. He spins her away from the piano keys and towards the little mirror so that he can play music. Sneaky ;)

 

  

New jamies! She is the most smiley little baby I have ever seen. Such a happy bug.

 Her first foray into the backyard grass. Sunday was gorgeous and we played outside in the morning. It was pretty heavenly after so many months of hot weather. I LOVE her sun hat!

 Her faces when she's talking are hilarious. Hilarious.

 Trying on R's old hat. She looks a lot like him in this pic to me.

 Our beautiful sleeping angel.

 Post-rolling-over pride.

The kiddos.

Preschool Pics

R is getting more comfortable every week at school. His teachers are so cool and they have a site where they post pics every week, I love seeing R and his classmates in action. Here's some of him having fun at school:
