10 Months

Beau is almost 10 months.  I can't believe it!  He is my busy bug.  At his 9th month appointment he weighed in at 20 lbs 5 ozs (46%) and was 29.5 inches long (86%).  He's got 3 upper teeth that he likes to grind against his bottom.  Such an unpleasant sound!  I hope that stops soon.  He can stand all by himself, but doesn't seem very interested in taking any steps.  Which is fine by me for now.  He loves books and being read to. 

And his newest quirk is he doesn't want to finish his bottles.  I've tried sippy cups and he isn't interested in those.  The only way I can get him to drink all of his bottle is if he is strapped in his car seat in the car.  Don't ask me why that works, but it does, and I've dragged him out to the car just so he will finish his bottle!  I'd love any suggestions!  PLEASE!

When his top teeth were about to come in he would constantly have his tongue up there feeling them.  Pretty cute, don't you think?

Ok, we'll read that one...again!

Our Halloween Month

Halloween, for us, took over the whole month of October!  We hosted a Halloween party, went to two other Halloween parties, a trunk-or-treat and hosted a hot chocolate/apple cider party after our neighborhood trick-or-treat on Saturday! Whew!

At our party we played games and enjoyed desserts.  We played mummy wrap, Bocce ball with small pumpkins, head on a platter relay race, and watched scary movie clips.  I should try posting the clips and see how many you can guess...

We dressed up as Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren.

I made Bakerella's yummy Cake Pops.

Here's the dessert spread.

Our fun group of friends!

At our church's Trunk-or-Treat.

I took Beau to a little pumpkin patch to take some fall pictures.  He wasn't too sure of these big, orange things, but I got some good shots.

 On Halloween we went to a house that displays hundreds of carved pumpkins!  Here is Edward.

 We'll definitely be going back next year.



Ok, I'll back track now and get caught up.
