5 months already!!

Our baby girl is already 5 months, where does the time go. It seems like with Dylon we were so excited for the next step that time went a little slower when he was a baby. Not only is time passing faster this time around, but she is getting bigger so much faster. Literally!!

What is Malia up to these days:

• Rolling over from her back to her stomach.
• She loves to laugh and is very ticklish.
• She is finally in her crib, she looks so small and alone in the middle of of it.
• She has very curious hands, loves to touch and grab anything and everything.
• She is always watching her brother. (hopefully only taking note of the good things he does)
• She is finally eating solids, she has tasted a few veggies and oatmeal cereal. Still isn't too sure about the veggies.
• Likes to sit on your lap and observe what is going on around her.

Halloween Recap

This year Halloween came and went. It's never been my favorite holiday so I've never gotten too into it all. Sadly, because of that this is the first year we have carved pumpkins with Dylon (I have always liked carving pumpkins, it just sits on the back burner to more important things). We've bought them in the past just never had/taken the time to actually do anything with them. Dylon loved it and though it was gross all at the same time. We will definitely have to do it every year from now on.

Apparently this holiday isn't Dylon's favorite either. Well at least this year, I think he'll love it in years to come. Every time we would walk past Halloween decorations in stores he would lose it. Not just a little whimper, I mean he would stand up in the cart and jump to me screaming and crying. He especially wasn't so fond of all of those Halloween decorations that you walk past and they make creepy sounds. (The creepy stuff is the part I've never liked.) Every time we would go look at costumes he would start crying and want to leave the isle. Even when I tried to put his monkey costume on from last year he would have nothing of it. Finally I asked a neighbor if she had something we could possibly borrow. She has some pirate costumes so we gave it a try. Dylon wouldn't let us get near it with him for Dwayne's school Halloween party. We got a little closer for our ward party. (the picture with all of us, Dylon is missing a hat if you notice.) Then I told him if he wanted candy he had to wear the hat when we went around to a few of our neighbors. I ended up holding it the last few houses, I guess I get those pieces of candy ;)

His little cousin Olivia is the adorable little bug next to him in the pictures. We love having Dwayne's cousins family close to us. Sadly we didn't get any better pics of Malia, I'll have to dress her up again and take some of our chunky little pumpkin!

C is for Cookie...

This semester some of us Dental Wives have been trying to get together once a week. A lot of times we just go to a park and let the kids play while we talk. When the weather is cooler, that is definitely my favorite thing to do. A few weeks ago we go together to decorate cookies. The kids loved it - well mostly just eating the cookies and candy!
