Happy Halloween!

Tonight was Halloween night at the Millers.  We picked the kids up from daycare, changed them into their outfits (well, LK had hers on the whole day since daycare had a parade and activities with costumes), and hit the road.  Lauren did very well saying Trick-or-Treat and Thank you.  Michael was the cutest bumble bee...and he hung on until 6 when he had to eat and go to bed.
Woke my little pumpkin up this morning with a full diaper...he still has sleepy eyes.




Started the night out with Sophia across the street...both girls didn't want to smile yet.

Sorry...this was the best of the 3 that i got!

First house...our neighbors

2nd house...our sitter Tina

 3rd house...she got the hang of it


4th house...Sophia's, and she walked right in after this candy drop.  Told her we weren't done yet!


Then Michael went in for the night and Daddy went to a few more houses with LK.  It was a nice night.

7 Months Old

Michael turned 7 months old today.  He is rocking on his hands and knees like a pro.  I swear we saw him do one little army crawl yesterday....he dragged his body slightly forward using his forearms.  We don't think he really wants to crawl; he'd rather start walking after his sister.  I stood him on his feet to hold onto the ottoman and then when I tried to put him back to a sit, his arms flew straight up toward the ottoman and he wanted to stand.

So far, he likes sweet potatoes and cereal.  Today we tried carrots and he thought they were ok.  At least he didn't throw any of them up.  He is teething and chewing his bottom lip and anything else he can put in his mouth.  Michael will say "dadadada," and laugh with Lauren.  We never get tired of this.

He sat in the bucket swing for the first time this weekend and loved it.  I'm told Chris loved the swing as a baby too.  He almost fell asleep in it with the warm breeze and swaying yesterday.  He's starting to pack on a few pounds for the next growth spurt.

We love you Michael!
