Noah is OBSESSED with super heroes. I really didn't want to give in to it for Halloween...even bought him a builder/construction man costume at a consignment shop...but...no go. He will be Spiderman for Halloween. And...this super cute pumpkin costume we have...Noah was too big for it three years ago and Ryder is WAY to big. Luckily our day care (awesome!!!) had some extras...he will be a sweet pea:) Pics to follow soon. My parents grew pumpkins...so we have two larger ones we will decorate or carve...and lots of little ones! I am hoping to finish the fall set up tomorrow...supposed to be nice this week! Back to Noah...he jumps...climbs and hits everything (not people...phew!!) he can to pretend he is a super hero. What is the line? He is creative...and gets the bad guys...and I am sick of saying no...:) So...I give in and let him until he gets a bit crazy or too close to breaking things! He is constantly telling people about school (our day care is so amazing...structured a lot like school) and we are shocked by how much he understands things. Like...why does the sun go away and the moon come out? Daddy is great at explaining these things! We did have our first body parts talk...and who should see our private parts and who shouldn't. It was bound to happen...but we were still surprised when it did! Noah is still amazing with his little brother...so lucky!
Ryder...what a great little man! He is doing fun things with his lips...kind of smacking...kind of sucking on them...kind of puckering...it is hilarious! He does roll over from front to back (I will have not seen this...) and gets really close from back to front. He is a scooter...can't leave him alone on something he could call off of. Great with tummy time still! We have used the jumperoo with him (with a pillow) and he LOVES it. Just like Noah! We did try food...carrots and then peas. Noah never liked cereal (I did buy some...) so I just mixed a little with carrots. He did okay...but was super cranky. We thought...it must be teeth. So...we tried peas the next night...CRANKY!!!!!!! He was up every hour to hour and a half (of course the night before one of my HUGE visit days...where I had to be at work early...). Our day care also noticed and being as awesome as they are...suggested one food for a while...and then another later. DUH...I can't believe I didn't remember this from Noah. With Noah...I was OBSESSED with following all directions...I guess I need to read up again. So...we laid off food for the week. Just tried cereal and breast milk tonight...so far so good. I am hoping it is okay! We have a pretty good stock pile of breast milk...hoping to go for a year if possible this time. Sometimes...I do want a break of feeding...but at the same time...that snuggle time with Ryder is the best.
Scott survived junior high football...one the last game!! Wahoo! And...varsity just beat AP...a big rival to be district champs. We will see how far we go. DNH (where he teaches) has all three fall sports in post season play...which is awesome! Thanksgiving break is something we are all looking forward to and have almost all of our Christmas shopping DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We just took family pics with my parents and Jenna and Matthew...so I can't wait for those pics. I am going to aim to have holiday cards out by the end of Thanksgiving:)
Here are some fun pics of our Fall so far:
