Timmy's 10 Months




Timmy is 10 months old now and we have a mover and a shaker!  He is a busy little boy who is always on the go.  It's hard to keep up with his mischievous ways!  His favorite activities include:  playing with whatever Hannah has at the moment, splashing in the cats' water dish, pulling on cords, and spitting food into the face of the person feeding him.
 He's cruising around the furniture and pushes toys (and chairs and stools) around while standing up, but hasn't taken that first step yet!
 We're trying to get him to eat some solid foods but he definitely prefers his bottle!  If he had to pick a favorite baby food I would bet on bananas.  He has an aversion to vegetables though!  Sometimes we can get him to eat some sweet potatoes if we're lucky.

Timmy, you did such a good job sleeping through the night this month!  It feels like maybe, just maybe, we've turned a corner with your night sleeping.  You've always been a great napper so we are thankful for that!

You just adore your sister, little guy!  She can make you laugh like no other and vice versa.  You love to get into whatever she's playing with but she has learned if she quickly swaps what she wants from you with a different toy you are easily distracted.  Let's see how long that lasts!  :) 
We love you so much, Timmy!  You have stolen our hearts!

Iceman Cometh 2011


We made it to the Iceman Mountain Biking Race for the 3rd year in a row!  We always love going up to Traverse City to see Daddy race.  We're so proud of him!
 This year we took the shuttle system a LOT!  It was hard to manage the stroller and all the kid stuff, but my friend Hilary was a HUGE help.  Timmy was such a trooper!  He's such a go with the flow kinda guy.  Hannah had a blast with Carleigh and Lowen, too!
Here's Timmy being his usual nutty self in his pack 'n' play.  He loves pressing his tongue and nose on the side of the crib because it makes Hannah laugh hysterically!
 Our hotel room was beautiful!  It looked right out onto the water and had wonderful amenities.  The kids had fun swimming in the pool and playing in the game room.

Happy Halloween


 We had a spooktacular Halloween!  Hannah got in to carving the pumpkin with daddy this year.  She had fun pulling our the guts...for about 5 minutes.  Daddy finished the gross part and then Hannah helped design the face.





 Timmy didn't go trick-or-treating this year, but he still got in the spirit and dressed up as our little Hershey Kiss.  My dad commented that he looked more like the Pope and I can't say I disagree :)




 We did our annual trick-or-treating around the block with our friends, Ashlyn and Sonya.  The girls had a blast and came home with a ton of loot!
