Happy Halloween / Kindercare Party

Last week was the annual Kindercare Harvest Party a.k.a. Halloween Party. It was lots of fun- the kids got to dress up and go into the different classrooms and see their teachers dressed up as well. The played games, trick or treated, had a dance party and got to see all their little friends dressed up as well.

This is Brayden and his friend, Sidney:


Brayden and his friend, Isaiah:

Darth Vader and Baby Yoda (bet you can't guess who these kiddos are...)

Darth Vader!- How Scary!

Pumpkin Carving









Last night we carved our pumpkins. Brayden loved it. Burke was
snoozin', but he'll get the chance next year. Ok, so we're not the most creative pumpkin makers you've ever seen. The patterns that came with the kit looked WAY too complicated and when you have two kids, who has the time?? :) Hey, we tried.

6 Months



Burke turned 6 months old yesterday. I know I say his often, but I really cannot believe how fast the time has gone and that it has already been 6 months since we brought our little Burkie into this world. We couldn't imagine our family without him.

He's growing more and more every day. Today at his 6 month appt, he weighed 16lbs, 8oz (32nd percentile) and was 26.25 inches tall (44th percentile). This week was also a week of milestones- he started to crawl/scoot a bit, he's been sitting unassisted for brief periods of time and he actually slept through the night as well. I'm sure I just jinxed myself by saying that...

Some of Burke's favorite things are eating bananas or peas, playing with his big brother, bath time, rolling around on the floor playing with toys, his blankie and his Nuk. Our favorite things about Burke are his toothless grin and deep gut giggle, his tiny and short little chub legs, his big, brown eyes, his super loud babble and the huge smile we get every time we go get him out of his crib. The past six months has been filled with challeges and joys, but most of all......great memories.

Attempt 1 at Crawling....

Burke decided this weekend that he wants to crawl now and he is almost there. He wants to soo bad. It's so cute- I'm sure he'll be around the house in no time. Check out this new video of him trying his hardest to crawl.

The Three B's, Part II






This weekend we hosted the Pace family and got some cute, updated pictures of the boys. Yes, they all have the same, matching pajamas. :)

Updated Pics



Just some cute, updated pics we took last weekend... ENJOY!

Brayden's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad day!

Last Sunday, Brayden fell off the stool and bumped his lip- well, pretty much split it open. Then, about 6 hours later, he fell off the couch (after being warned he was going to slip and get hurt) and scratched his back pretty good. Not even 3 minutes later, as he was going to get a Kleenex to dry his tears, he got his finger stuck in a broken bathroom garbage can, that was on it's way out the door. Poor Kid. He's since successfully recovered from all his injuries. Im just waiting for social service to show up on our door!

Pumpkin Picking

This weekend we went to the pumpkin patch and let Brayden pick his pumpkin out. He really enjoyed it. It was such a beautiful day! Burke slept the entire time, but we picked one out for him too :)
