MC Loves Stuffies!

When I was pregnant with MC and since she's been born, we've wondered what the noticeable differences would be between her and Rutherford. What different things they would like, their cute little personality differences and quirks, that sort of thing. Something I've noticed is that MC REALLY likes stuffed animals. R was sort of interested in them when he was a baby, but he always liked stuff that made noise much more - his favorite baby toy was his maracas I think, he loved those things!

Anyways, he's some MC + stuffie cuteness. And shhhh don't tell R I let her hug his Mickey! :)

And some of MC with the sock monkey from Grammit:

 

Happy Six Months, Mary-Charlotte!

Our little babby girl is six months old! She is such a happy, wonderful little girl and our family is so blessed to have her. She's such a good little buddy and I love to watch her relationship with Rutherford grow. Soon we'll be starting her on some table foods and I can tell she really wants to go go go and crawl around. Happy half-birthday to our lovely little one!

MC LOOOOVES her jumperoo. I mean really loves it.

 Her first taste of watermelon - frozen in the mesh feeder. She's pretty into it.

 BoSox fan for life y'all!

 This is her first Christmas ornament, handmade by some awesome lady on etsy. I love it!

 She's growing so fast, her little six-month pants are highwaters on her now!

 Hanging out, just the girls.

Halloween!

Dude, Halloween was RAD! This year Rutherford totally understand the concept and was really into it. It was hilarious going trick-or-treating with him! He loved ringing the doorbells and he looked freaking adorable. We headed down the hill by Hearst Elementary and the neighborhood was way better for trick-or-treating than our hilly streets. It was like an old school Halloween, I was so excited for him.

We wore him out and when he came home he dumped all his candy out to view his booty. He's been good about it and we've only allowed him a piece or two. Maybe he'll forget about it and I can have it all! :)

 

 Drilling pumpkins with Papa the day before Halloween.

 

Rutherford used puffy paint to paint this one. I thought the googly eyes were a nice touch.

  

Our cowboy all dressed up and ready to go! Also - this was my first successful Ergo excursion with MC. It was great, I can't wait to use it again!

 

 

The anticipation was adorbs.

 

 

 Lots of good decorations in the neighborhood!

 

MC was a trooper and loved looking at everyone running around, especially the kiddos :)

 

 

 The haul!

The next day we kept celebrating by making some yummy sugar cookies. We delivered them to a few neighbors, too!

Put the Kibosh On It

R is hilarious and picks up phrases and words so fast. He's started singing songs a lot, too, which is awesome - especially when he makes silly voices, too.

Last night he had us cracking up. As we were getting him ready for bed I told him to "put the kibosh on it," referring to something silly, I can't remember. R immediately picked up on the word but kept pronouncing it back to us as "put the kibosh-your-teeth on it!"

Love love love.

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!

 R "bobbing" for apples pre-party

 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.
