Ava





A picture of Ava and I

The kids are growing!!!

Ava is growing up so quickly. She is already 7 1/2 months!!! Time really does go by faster with the second child! About 2 1/2 weeks ago, Ava officially began crawling and getting herself to a sitting position(a full 2 months earlier than her brother did), and as of the end of last week, she is pulling herself up to stand. She is also quite good at the bear crawl! We have also caught her saying da-da. She's still her sweet self, happy always...and trying to keep up with her big brother (and in turn, I'm trying to keep up with them)! Christopher is really enjoying his preschool. He has lots of fun there and enjoys the interaction with the other kids. He talks nonstop and comes up with the funniest things. He still plays with his cars for hours on end each day and has a lot of energy. He is a very sweet big brother (most of the time..;-). Will update with more pictures after Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!










This Halloween was a lot of fun. Christopher really got into trick or treating! He made it to most houses in our neighborhood and got way too much CANDY! We took Ava to a few houses.

Christopher as a Newborn in the Pumpkin Patch







I just had to go back and dig these pictures up, they are some of my very favorites of Christopher, he was 3 weeks old....sooo sweet!!!!

Feeding the horse...yummy!
We had fun at the pumpkin patch, Christopher got to feed the animals and Ava got dressed up in the pumpkin costume we had for Christopher when he was 3 weeks old. She didn't seem to mind and was happy to sit and look at the pumpkins!
