Pictures from November

5 months

Theo is a little over five months now. He's showing more of his personality and becoming more a part of things around here. He's working on sitting up, rolling over, scootching along the floor. He's eating solids. Carrots are a favorite. He's teething, seems to be getting teeth on the sides first. He's a charming little guy but still hasn't figured out the sleeping thing. We're tired, loving our boys, but very much needing and looking forward to sleep! It should only be a few more months from now. ;)

My Hero

This superhero costume was made from one of Carl's old t-shirts. Isaac loves it so much he slept with it under his pillow last night and woke up at 5:20 in the morning to put it back on.

Fall Fun with the Neighbors

We have great neighbors. D and J live just two doors down and we see them almost everyday before the weather turns cold. We usually meet outside after dinner. But as the weather changes, our visits are less frequent but still fun and looked forward to. The other day Isaac and I were walking home from the park when I noticed a big leaf pile in the neighbors' yard. We went over to check it out. It turned out they left that pile for Isaac. He had a blast!

Here he is talking leaf strategy with neighbor D.

Here he is throwing leaves at Mom.

Just a few days later Isaac dressed up as a construction worker for Halloween. He called it being a 'worker man'.
Before heading over to trick or treat with some friends, he stopped by D and J's house to show them his costume and get a treat. Instead of candy, they gave him a Lego helicopter toy. He's only asked once about his Halloween candy, but that Lego helicopter is the first thing he looks for in the morning and what he zeroes in on after school. Thanks neighbors!
