Now That It's Almost Thanksgiving...

I managed to find a bit of time to post our pictures from Halloween. Maybe I will post more timely next year. Enjoy!

A Couple of Videos

The first video is Benjamin jumping on the mattress in Daddy's German hat. Notice the Ghostbusters t-shirt that Daddy just couldn't resist buying. Benjamin loves to jump on the mattress and often jumps to music. The second video is of Micah sitting up by himself.

Introducing Benjamin as....

Letterboy! Here is Benjamin in his Halloween costume. Since Benjamin is very interested and knows all of his letters/letter sounds, we decided that he would be Letterboy for Halloween. We had an ECFE class today, so he had the opportunity to wear his costume a couple of days early. We have a school party to attend on Friday and then on Saturday we will go trick-or-treating. Micah will be Superman (we'll take his picture on Saturday), the same costume that Benjamin wore on his first Halloween. Enjoy the pictures and God bless!

Random Photos

These photos are from late September to the present. I finally found a few moments to share them with you. Enjoy!

Sitting Pretty

Micah is doing well with sitting up by himself, but still having trouble balancing himself (we blame it on the fact that he has a flat bottom). So, we decided it was again time to take out the Bumbo seat. We don't know Micah's exact weight, but I am guessing it's somewhere around 20 to 22 pounds. Even though he's right behind what Benjamin weighed at his age, he does not have the huge monster thighs as Benjamin did. Therefore, it's easier to get Micah in and out of the Bumbo seat (aka Micah doesn't get stuck).

Cleaning and Baking

Benjamin has been a big help to me this last week. He helped me Swiffer the house one afternoon. I took a short video of him helping me clean.

Then the next morning, he helped me make pancakes. I love how happy and proud he looks in this picture! While making pancakes, he helped me count to four (which is as many pancakes as I can fit on my griddle pan at one time). He skips over numbers one and two and participates in saying numbers three and four. They don't always come out perfect, but at least he's trying. What a big helper! Mommy is proud of you Benjamin!

New Wagon!

A congregation member donated this wagon to us. Benjamin promptly went outside and began pulling the wagon around. Interestingly enough, we couldn't convince him to take a ride the first day...he just wanted to pull the wagon. However, when he took it out yesterday, he pulled the wagon and took a wagon ride too. A couple of the pictures are blurry, but it gives you a good idea of the fun he's having.
