Happy Halloween!!!!

B was a strawberry for Halloween this year. We took her to the Arboretum for the mandatory new parent pumkin patch photo shoot this past weekend. Unfortunately we went during what could've been naptime, and she was having no part in smiling. The first picture is the first shot we took, and the only hint of a grin that we got.



When I said, "B - tell me how you really feel," this was her response:


You might've figured out by now that she likes her sunglasses. Really? I promise, she does despite her expression:


Daddy's little girl:


In other news, we started rice cereal this weekend. B took it like a champ, and did much better today learning how to swallow.



Ohhhh the days of vienna sausages, lima beans, and smelly poops are on the way!!!

Update on the Insanity

Oh yes, the insanity continues; however, it's dwindling down slowly but surely now that we're in our new house. The move is over and done with for the most part, although we still have a few things at our old house that we need to move over. Pictures will be forthcoming. We hope to have curtains in the next week or so which will make a big difference. Of course the decor is still far from perfect, but I'm accepting the fact that it's going to take time to get things the way we like it.

We have managed to have some fun in between all of our recent craziness. It's October, which means State Fair time, which means that I'm one happy camper. We introduced B to Big Tex this year and pushed her around in the Bob. She was a champ and looooooved her first corny dog.




This is one of my favorite pictures and totally shows who she is - laid back, taking her paci out of her mouth to chew on it instead of suck on it, with her tiny toes curled around the stroller bar in front of her.


For K's birthday we made our first mini vacation to Possum Kingdom Lake. While B did have a breakdown on the way out there, for the most part she stayed on schedule and took great naps and slept really well in her pack and play. I'm sure you can tell by my really tan skin that we've been out in the sun a lot this summer. I hope my golden glow stays through the winter.


And lastly - here's a close up of her 2 teeth that are popping in. Yowza.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!!
