Spooktacular Eats & Halloween Treats

This Halloween season, we enjoyed lots of SUPER festivities. From dressing up, to spending time with my sweet skeleton and mommy's little mummy, making spooktacular treats with my big little, enjoying our favorite McLean Halloween Bash, and trick or treating with many of our favorite little friends, we had a blast!

Our Halloween was so fun this year as it is every year... but there was definitely something so much more magical. It was super special to celebrate our littlest loves first Halloween as well as watch Aubrey really get into Trick or Treating. Every running step taken, hand held (oh sweet Ellie how you were so patient and sweet to run alongside Aubrey holding hands for most of the night), and Trick or Treat and Thank you said was so very sweet. By the end of the night, her "jackie" or jack-o-lantern bucket was to the top filled with candy, her special treats. She may also have been the only little girl in the entire world that would sleep with her bucket and not eat a single treat without being told. But of course when we returned, it was full on candy station.

To the Happiest of Halloweens spent with family and friends and a whole lot of spooktacular fun!

Watch Liam Grow-7-10 Months

Dear my littlest Liam Love,
My heart grew three sizes the day I met you. I am so incredibly thankful that God had such a perfect plan for you in giving you to us. You have been our rainbow out of our storm. May we truly treasure God's many blessings and know that He is forever faithful.


{Kisses for our little man}

My oh my. How you have continued to grow and become such a big little boy. You are still our rough and tumble and our loud little man. You are cruising and even attempting full body stands. You love to "play" with your sister. Mainly you love to pull on her and be everywhere she is. You have eyes for mommy but just recently moved those eyes in daddy's direction. You love cars, balls, and even will bounce a few our direction. You love to "talk"and have recently started to say Ma Ma. My favorite new trick is your ability to bounce on your sister's trampoline. My heart is so full with all of your skills and we are just waiting for your first steps. Here's to watching you grow dear boy from months seven to ten.

 {8 Month Thanksgiving Cutie}
 {You are our eating machine.}
  {9 Month Liam Loving}

Number of months: 10 months
Measurements: Per our nine month appointment. Weight 18 lbs 12.5 oz (29%), Height 29.5 inches (83%), Head Cir 17 3/4 inches (45%)
Clothing: You are surely your daddy's child. Long in lean is all I hear. You have been wearing 12 months for what seems like months now. You can even wear some 18 month clothing.
Eating:  Other than when you were sick this past week, you are an amazing eater. You really love real food. Foods you enjoy are avocado, banana, beans, crackers, cheerios, spaghetti, meat balls, mashed potatoes, pancakes, blueberries... really almost anything we put in front of you. 

 

Teeth: 2 bottom teeth and hopefully 2 top teeth to follow Sleep: It may have taken us almost 9 months, but after the Christmas holiday, you have found your sleep. While sleeping through the night is completely dependent on eating and health, you are really seeming to learn how to do it on your own. Praises here. Naps you usually do very well. It's almost too hard to skip them if we are doing a little event out. You usually wake around 7:30 each morning and will take your first nap between 9:30 and 10:00 to about 11 or 11:30. (I know right!) Your second nap is from 2-4. Lately your naps have been a challenge but we are working through a bit of sickness.

My littlest ❤️. My handsome little man, full of spirit and loud squeals, fuZy hair don't care, and all boy! You melt mama's ❤️ #lastdayatninemonths
 
Activities: You are everywhere my dear child. Not only have you learned to crawl, you have become an absolute speed racer. You are making progress crawling up the stairs, cruising around the furniture and even made some attempts at full body standing. You are definitely keeping mommy on my toes and making me fear hospital visits in our future. Plus we are going to have to really go hard on the baby proofing. You have learned to bounce on the trampoline, toss a ball- you have an amazing arm. You love to throw balls, bottles, and your current favorite (mommy's not so favorite) is throwing pacis behind your dresser. You squeal louder than a blow horn. Your smile is contagious. You are absolutely rough with your sister but you are HER baby and she adores you as you adore her. You love to smack toys together and put everything in your mouth. Your hair is something I adore and I love your giggles. You love raspberries on your belly and love to be held upside down.

Likes: bouncing, cruising, laughing, music, "playing" with big sister, balls and cars, eating,
Dislikes: being over tired, being changed, being put in your carrier, teething, ad sickies.

I would never have guessed this would be my 10 month picture of my little guy, but this picture truly says it all. This boy is fully filled with joy, passion, and praises as we found ourselves thankful for God's provision today. With bracelet on hand, we are reminded that God is good and with us no matter what may come our way! 🙏🏻❤️
