Aleah's New Trick

Aleah is now 7 months old!
I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I am a slacker of a mom and just barely got her in for her 6 month check up. She has changed SO much to me. These are her stats.
Weight- 18.9 lbs.
Height - 54%
Head-92% :(
She has a big head just like Ethan poor girl. Hopefully she will grow into it.
This is her latest trick. She loves to sit up, and now she is doing it on her own. She also enjoys anything that makes noise or is different. Why buy baby toys. Aleah is perfectly happy with a piece of paper. It keeps her entertained forever.
She has been eating her share of baby food. She loves it and gets so excited when I bring it to her. Her faves would be the traditional pears and sweet potatoes. She will eat just about anything though.
Her other trick, which I have not been able to capture on camera, is she has started to rock on her hands and knees. crawling soon? I hope not. She has also pretty much done away with her Binky which would be fabulous to not have to deal with that later.
She is such a happy baby and is so fun to have around. I just love this little girl!

They say it's your Birthday!

I know it has been FOREVER since I have updated our blog, life has been crazy. There has been moments that I could have updated but I was either too tired or just wanted to hang out with the family instead. I have so much to post and will have to blog about Aleah sometime this week.
I love this time of Year.
Evan's birthday as well as mine is in October. It is our favorite month. It is filled with so many fun activities. This year for Evans birthday we went up to McCall, Id. This is a picture of Ethan picking out some movies before our trip. Don't you love the hair ribbon. Go Broncos!
Up in McCall. Evan turned 31 this year, and of course I had to make the family fav. Dirt Cake. We ate cake and watched the BSU game. BSU beat Hawaii! YEAH! It is SO beautiful in McCall, I never want to leave. This is outside our condo.
Thanks to my Inlaws for letting us come up for our birthdays. After we returned home we had our yearly pumpkin carving night. I have a ton of pictures but I thought this one was hilarious. This is Ethan trying to carve his pumpkin...he eventually colored it with markers.
Evan enjoying yummy hot apple cider.
Then there is HALLOWEEN! I love this holiday. I think costumes are so much fun. Especially on kids. Aren't these the cutest kids ever! okay so I think so because I am there mom. But I do think They were the cutest spider man and butterfly that I saw on Halloween. Ethan did like trick or treating but was SO tired due to no nap that day. He had just a few pieces of candy in his bucket and kept complaining of how it was too heavy. Maybe next year will be better. Halloween is also my Birthday. I love it! I have so much fun with the festivities of trick or treating. Who doesn't like getting presents AND candy! It is the best birthday ever! Hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween. Bring on Thanksgiving. I can't wait!
