October 08




We almost have 2 mobile children! Owen is close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and then plops down. He is great at "mountain climbing" or "army crawling" as we like to call it. He babbles Dada all the time and occasional Mama's, when he really wants something or is upset. It's pretty cute. He's starting to play more with Claire, which she loves. He has cut his top two and bottom 3 teeth and there are more on the way.

Claire is her busy self. She loves dance class and practices every night. We are getting things in order for her third birthday party. It will be a My Little Pony party. She is getting excited for Halloween and sleding in the snow.

The kids took their first bath together. Owen is in the tub, splashing around and having fun. I asked Claire if she wanted to get in. She had a huge grin on her face and asked if she could really get in with Owen. They had a good time together slapshing and playing with toys.

This week we are going to Vala's pumpkin patch. It will be our first time there, so we are excited. From my understanding it's a lot more than just a pumpkin patch. There are pig races and a train ride, so we are in for a treat! Claire and Owen also got their "annual pumpkins" from GG, (Great Grandma Donna). She hand paints whatever character they want. Claire picked Dora for her and Boots the monkey for Owen. I did my best trying to capture them together with their painted pumpkins.

We will soon be getting 9 month and 3 year pictures taken, so we'll have pictures to share soon.

Until next time......
