Half a year

How is my baby 6 months old? Half a year spent with this smiley, adventurous little man! He is growing up so fast - in the past 2 weeks he has learned to crawl and pull himself up to standing! This little monkey has no fear, as he thinks he can walk between objects. He quickly realizes he cannot when he falls. We have also put his jumper toy away and are upgrading him out of his infant car seat to a bigger one! I never believed time flew until now...
Drew is FINALLY back to *almost * sleeping through the night again but woke up with a yucky cold today. Fingers crossed he doesn't regress again!

I tried to take some 6 month pictures but someone did not cooperate. I also don't have his 6 month stats yet because his doctors appointment is next week!

As for Easton, he is 2 months out from being 3. 3!!!

6 months old! (of course, his sticker pictures are on my phone so...)

Playground morning

Making faces and playing while big brother napped!

Making an Easton face :)

Halloween was exciting for Easton this year! He really got the hang of trick or treating. He dressed as Mickey (of course) and got to wear his costume to the library, a cousin Halloween party and then to trick or treat. Drew, being bigger than Easton was at this age, got to fit in Easton's old elephant costume. Which is too cute not to wear twice anyway!

(by the way, its getting harder and harder to get decent pictures of EAston lol)

Leaf pile fun! It has stayed warm here too long so we have been able to be outside a lot!

One of my favorites of Easton!

Travels

At the beginning of September (over Labor Day and in the middle of the family's cold and sickness), we went to visit Grandma in Pennsylvania for a week. Just like last year, the humidity and heat was excruciating. We didn't make a ton of big plans, just planned a lot of little trips and activities for the boys (well, mainly Easton). Thanks for letting us visit Grandma!

Helping Grandma water flowers, a favorite activity for Easton!

Play time

Puddle jumping on a rainy Friday afternoon 

Stud :)

Notice Easton's nose?  He took a NASTY spill over the weekend we were there and banged up his face pretty bad. Therefore, his spirits and attitude were a little low and miserable for the next couple days- the rest of the trip lol. 

Loves pushing baby brother!

One of my favorite days - going to Hersheypark!

Tall enough for plenty of rides. But only rode a couple, of course!

Drew and Grandma snuggles. Drew was Hersheypark happy all day!

These unfortunately, are only the pictures from my big camera. The cell phone has the rest of the memories...Let's see if I get them posted ;-)

Starting fall

It's been a crazy couple weeks here so I haven't updated. Mr. Andrew got a lovely double ear infection that has thrown him completely out of wack. My sweetie who used to smile all the time AND sleep through the night did neither of these things. Thankfully, I think he is FINALLY on the mend. (At least, we are hoping for the sake of our sleep!) He will be 5 MONTHS this weekend, wahhhh! He has started solid food and currently loves sweet potatoes, avocados, peaches, pears, bananas, and peas. (most made by me!) Drew moves everywhere! He is up in the crawl position, scooting, rolling....he's a mover! He is going to be a very tall boy, already in the 99th percentile for height and starting in 9 month clothes! (He was in 3 month clothes in July!)

Easton is getting closer and closer to the big age of 3. He currently loves swinging, parking all of his cars/tractors/carts/trucks, and  obsessing over watching Mickey. He also has really started to get he hang of counting and does it surprisingly well. I think he is going to be my brainic child!

Sneaking a 4 month shot in!

Baking "helpers" 

Brotherly love!

Smiles for days!

Oh yeah, he is a sitter!! 

Some photos yesterday at the lake where went to look for leaves! i am absolutely in love with this one. Getting an almost 3 year old to take a good picture is more difficult than one would think. 

Drew and his beloved moose!

Next up, a blog [post about our trip to PA, which was prior to all this, oops!
