Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!! Here are some pictures of John on Halloween. I just got him a red sweatsuit with devil ears and tail that says Little Devil (that way he can wear it again this winter :D) He had fun. We just sat on the porch and greeted the trick or treaters :D Enjoy :D

Reading with my Daddy

I just thought this was a cute picture of Daddy and John reading a bedtime story.

My middle name is "Trouble"

So, the other day I ran into the kitchen to do something while John was playing nice in his bedroom. (which typically means emptying the drawers out). I came back to play and this is how I found my 9 month old!!! His middle name is TROUBLE!

Reading with Grandma

Grandma and Tom came to visit on Wednesday. Here is a picture of John reading a book with Grandma.

9 Month pics

Here are a few pictures of John.

Reading his Magazine.....
















Eating Pizza ...John just loves Pizza crust

9 Month stats

So I took John to the dr yesterday for his 9 Month Well Baby Checkup and he is weighing in at 22lbs 8oz and 30 1/4 inches long. He is finally evening out, and not climing up the charts...YAY! Dr. said he looks great and to keep doing what I am doing. He had two shots (polio and hep b) which he did great through. Much better then previous experiences. We said no thankyou to the flu shot.

Pasta Pasta everywhere

Well, I know I have posted John eating Pasta, but I just get such a kick out of it, I just had to share more. He just loves to feed himself. Here I added some of his veggies (peas, greenbeans, carrots, and sweet potatoes) to the sauce because he doesn't want them on a spoon. Well he just went to town. Here are a few pics and a short video of John eating his pasta :D

Exploring

John just loves to play with new things and explore everything. He loves the keyboard and had a ball pushing the computer box around. He pushed it over to his toys and got up on it and grabbed toys from his basket. He truely amazes me everyday!!!

Pots and Pans

What is a childs fascination with pots and pans? I remember being little playing with the pots and pans in my mother's kitchen. John just gets all excited when the pots and pan door opens up. Its so cute. Here he is getting into them...

Walking with Brady, Julie, Hunter and Karen

Here are some cute pictures from our walk on Monday with Julie, Brady, Karen and Hunter. We are starting to get a chill in the air. But we still had a nice walk.

Happy 9 Months John!

Wow I can't believe he is 9 months old today!!! Thats how long I carried him for, its just strange that he has been here for that long too! Well we go to the dr tomorrow. So I will post his stats then. I can't wait to hear how big he is. He is just such a joy. We have so much fun playing all day. We met Grammy (my mom) for lunch today, and got John some new shoes for when he starts walking. They are so cute! I will have to take some pictures. Then Grandma and Tom came and brought Pizza for dinner and played. I will post some pictures tomorrow after I download them.

Working on the Parties

So I am still in the process of trying to find a location to have the Baptism party. I have a few calls in and no responses yet. I am going to call the Lackawanna Clubhouse on Monday if I don't hear back this week from the others.

I have the Baptism invitation done, I just need to put the party location on, and print/send them out. YAY!

Visit with Beth and Shane

Well yesterday John and I went and visited with Auntie Beth and Shane. He is so adorable, and so tiny. (well compared to John that is :D) John wanted to play with Shane, but I think he is going to have to wait a few more months...lol John needs to learn the term "gentle". He doesn't quite get the idea yet. As you can see....















Shane was a trooper though, and it didn't bother him one bit...lol As Uncle Tom would say, "John and Shane will be picking up chicks before we know it" hahahahahaha

Daddy hurry home

Well Brian left on Thursday morning for his harley trip down to a wedding in NC. About an hour north of where his brother use to live (Greer, SC). What a cold weekend to be traveling on a bike, and camping. I think it was in the high 20's at night and mid 60's during the day. BRRRRR Kinda glad John and I didn't end up going, what a pain in the ass I would of been :D

Brian gets home sometime tomorrow and John and I can't wait. We missed him dearly. Its strange being "alone", the nights are the hardest for me. I hate hearing unfamilar sounds, it makes for a restless night of sleep.

Daddy has been working so much and has been going to school 2 days a week, and its just wiping him out, so I know this trip was a good refresher for him. I just wish it was a little warmer for him. He is gonna come home and want to hang out under the covers for a week!

Spaghetti Time :D

John's first Spaghetti dinner, he LOVED IT!!!



































And then After dinner ....getting all clean


















Then this is what happens when he is left in his room for a few mins to "Play" after bathtime.

Coffee Table Trouble

Here is John opening the Coffee Table drawer, getting in, and standing on it, so he can reach the stuff on the table that he shouldn't have.
