jump jump

Hallie just loves dressing up in her tutu dresses and looking at herself.  She is looking into a mirror in these pics, watching her skirt flutter around as she jumps.

             

bowling

We went bowling with Berret’s work last weekend.  Hallie loved it and was quite the party animal but still so well behaved.  Hallie is almost 3 and is extremely well mannered for her age, she is such a good little girl.  Lincoln did awesome at the event too and slept through most of it.  We learned that he likes really loud music.

  

After bowling we played some arcade games.  The pictures below are of a jump rope game.  When we were done with games we picked out some prizes and headed home.

  

october 1 month

I’ll be doing monthly pictures with Lincoln like I did with Hallie to track growth.  Lincoln now has some good rolls on him.  He started out so skinny so it is nice to see some chubs on him.  He is really strong and spassy and has rolled over once by accident.  Lincoln will actually take a pacifier unlike Hallie.  His fist works too when he finds it.  We hear lots of grunting duck noises from him still but he is starting to some softer cues that are cute.  He smiles when he has a full tummy and is being held.  Attacking with kisses will also make him smile.  We just love our little man.

 

I didn’t have a sign ready for his first set of pictures.  I think he is about 3 weeks old in the pictures below.  We didn’t get the pictures done right away because the first week we were so busy getting used to things and the second week he had a crazy eye infection that took about a week to clear up.

  

jumping on the bed

I don’t normally let Hallie jump on the bed but she was grouchy the other day so this was something fun she could do.  She jumped and worked on her dance moves while listening to pandora.

You’ll notice in a lot of these pictures Hallie looking at the side wall because of a mirror there.

     

Letting her jump on the bed this time worked out especially well because it help put Lincoln to sleep.

babe lincoln

We have really awesome friends.  Becky made this shirt for Lincoln, so crafty.

 

Thanks Becky!!!

hallie & lincoln

Hallie loves her little brother.  She definitely can get jealous at times and not want to share people with him, but she handles it pretty well.  These were taken awhile ago and Lincoln is much chunkier now.  He  is even starting to really smile which I need to catch a picture of.  Hallie will sometimes try and play with Lincoln and likes to see him react to stuff mostly her trying to scare him with her monster growl.  This morning though Lincoln was looking right at his sister and smiling.  Hallie would laugh and he would smile more, it was pretty cute to watch.

     

pumpkin carving

We had a fun evening with family carving pumpkins.  The kids loved playing with all the squishy pumpkin guts.  Kurt, Berret, and I did the carving.  Kurt and boys worked on the reaper.  Berret, Hallie, and I did the cat bat.  Before the pumpkin carving we got to enjoy some yummy soups Jill made.
