Fall 2009

So, now it seems as though I am only a seasonal blogger. I got sad when I wrote the title of this post...is it really getting to the point that I am only blogging once a season? :(

During October at daycare, Leia sets special days aside for the kids to wear fun outfits. One of the days is favorite sports team day. This picture made me laugh, Bennett looks like one mean, fighting Viking!:)

This was Ethan's first year going trick-or-treating. We practiced trick-or-treating at home and Leia practiced it at daycare, but Ethan didn't say a word all night. He looked just like this all evening long...stunned.

A sweet dragon and a little punkin.

Grandma Smith gave the boys "scary eyes" for Halloween!

Halloween loot! Bennett's first sucker, he's hooked!

Ethan gets to paint a pumpkin each year at Leia's house to celebrate Halloween. He did a fantastic job painting his this year!

Playing in the leaves is what fall is best for!

Bennett walked nearly around our entire block with his favorite walking toy. He was exhausted but thrilled that he could do something all by himself! You could just see the joy on his face as he walked beside his big brother.

We picked out a few pumpkins at the local Pumpkin Patch this year.

Bennett and my cutie husband.

Isn't my ear cover fashionable on Ethan?! :)

Boo!

3-5-8 and a Bunch of Words

Bennett went from 3 teeth to 5 last week, and by the end of this week he will have 8, I'm sure of it! I feel awful for him, his mouth looks like a bumpy, swollen mess. Bring on the tylenol!

Also, Bennett's speech is blossoming so much right now. Some of his new words are: yuck, down, I want that, car, duck, kee (for kitty- or anything that comes remotely close:), and pup.

I have tons of cute fall and Halloween pictures to put on here, I'm getting there.

Oh, and I forgot to put on here that Bennett took his first steps!!!! I put it on my Facebook page, but not here. Anyway, his physical therapist is letting Leia borrow a small bench for him to do exercises on. He was sitting on the edge of it last weekend, stood up, and took a couple of steps towards me. He did that several times, but hasn't attempted anything like it since. He is such a chicken! :)
