Big Boy Baths

Well, Brandon has outgrown our kitchen sink for bathtime. He has moved into the BIG BOY BATHTUB! =)

Nanny, he can still take baths in your sink!

Mmmmmm...

Brandon has started eating VEGGIES!!! Yummy!!

This was taken after his first day eating carrots. I learned REAL quick that I just needed to strip him down to a diaper when it's time to eat food...it's quite a mess but he LOVES it!

Today I introduced him to squash...yuck!! =) He loved it, of course! I have yet to introduce him to a food that he won't eat! hahahahaha!! He's a growing boy!!

Night Owl

So, I put Brandon in bed at 9:00...his normal bedtime. For some reason, he REFUSED to go to sleep. He was in his room talking to himself which turned into a whine that ended in a scream. Normally, if he cries when I put him to bed I let him cry it out and he will cry himself to sleep (call me mean...I don't care...hahaha).

After about 15-20 minutes of the crying and screaming Nathan went and got him out of his room and brought him into our room. He laid inbetween us and talked and laughed for about 30 minutes before "telling me" that he was ready to go to bed.

I couldn't help but grab my phone off the bedside table to get this video:




He blesses my heart!

River Road

The other day Nathan and I took Brandon to yet another park...we LOVE being outside this time of year. Unfortunately, the peak of fall is almost over so we had to take advantage of it while Nathan had a day off.

If you are from the Louisville area then you are familiar with River Road. It runs parallel to the Ohio River and there are several parks located along the road that are great views for beautiful sunsets.

He loves being outside and going for walks

Such a happy boy

RIBBIT!

My friend, Kim, let us borrow a Halloween costume that her daughter wore a few years ago. I wanted Brandon to go as Tigger but I couldn't see paying even $10 for a costume for a 4 1/2 month old. I am SO thankful that Kim let us borrow the frog costume because it was adorable. I couldn't have found anything better...it was perfect! (Kim, sorry about the drool on it...it is being washed and I will have it back to you soon! =))

Frankfort and Chili's

This afternoon my friend, Sally, and I drove to Frankfort to meet some friends for lunch at Chili's. There were five mamas and six kids so you can imagine the looks on the servers faces when we walked in the door! =)

Gina and Calvin (9 months); Sally and Laine (10 months)

Kristi and Noah (2 years)

Me and Brandon (4 1/2 months) - he was a little distracted! =)

Grace, Jackson (3 years) and Charlotte (6 1/2 months)

Fortunately, the kids were very well behaved and we had a great lunch...and dessert!

Gina is a friend of Sally's from college and a friend of mine from seminary. She and her husband now live in Chicago so she rode back to Louisville with us so she could catch a flight home. This is how we rode on the way back to Louisville...

We thought the babies would CRASH once we got on the road.

Brandon did...

Laine was in and out...

Calvin was laughing most of the way back. He finally fell asleep about 10 minutes from the airport (of course)

What a fun day!

Now it's time to get Brandon ready for the Fall Festival at church tonight. Of course pictures will be posted soon! =)

Charlestown, IN

Yesterday was Nathan's off day this week so we decided to spend the afternoon at Charlestown State Park in Indiana. It was a GORGEOUS day!!
