"Snow"

Realized this morning that Jonathan may not be my son...he was excited to see "snow" outside this morning and said he has been waiting for snow for a very long time. Luckily it was just some frost as I am not ready for winter.

Diana 6 Month Pictures

It is getting harder to take pictures of Diana...she is very active. Her new favorite toy is her feet. She loves to play with them, pull her socks off after she kicks off her shoes or pull on her shoelaces. We are working on trying to get Diana to sit up. She is rolling over a lot these days from her back to her belly but no seems to not know how to roll from her belly to back.

Soccer - Another Session

Jonathan finished soccer last week but asked if we could sign him up for another session. With the weather turning colder and the fact that he is enjoying it, I decided to commit to another session which goes until Jan 20th. Today was the first day of the new session and I think Jonathan will have his work cut out for him this time...lots of really big and fast kids. He hung in there though, despite a minor crying episode due to scrapping his knee and elbow. I think he had beginner's luck as he hasn't scored a goal in awhile but he tries and is having fun.

Diana 6 Months

Can you believe Diana is 6 months old?!?!? It really is crazy how fast kids grow up. She had her 6 month checkup today and the doctor is pleased with her growth and development. Diana of course was trying to show off and was doing her "crunches" during the exam. Dr. Bagamery thought this was funny. She also got really excited, cooed and giggled when Jonathan came over to talk to her and the doctor really liked this. She weighs 15 # 6 oz and is 25 1/2 inches long. She is staying on her 50th percentile curve for all 6 month olds. She gets to start cereal any time we want now...just need to go buy some. I guess most people start food between 4 and 6 months (I did 6 months with JT) so even though her adjusted age is 4 1/2 months, the doctor said it would be fine to start cereal. We shall see how this goes. I watched the video of Jonathan eating food for the first time not that long ago and it was pretty funny. She had to get 2 shots today and one oral vaccine. She of course screamed and was not very happy. She was very lovey (i.e., wanted to be cuddled) and slept more today than normal but seems to be doing ok from the vaccines.

Gorgeous Weather

We have lucked out on beautiful fall weather. Today Jonathan and I raked some leaves, just so we could play in them, we cut back the mums and did a final harvest of the garden. It was in the 70's and Jonathan had to put on shorts because he was "hot."

Our scarecrow family in the rock garden that Jonathan likes to pretend are puppets. Not the best pictures of Diana but she kept trying to eat the leaves...everything is going in the mouth these days.

Eating the Leaves

A couple more pictures of my not so great attempt of getting pictures of the kids in the leaves. Diana really wanted to eat them!

Mr Mom

Brad watched the kids overnight so I could spend a night with Emily up in Columbus. Luckily all of our hardwork on trying to get Diana to take a bottle has paid off and she will take a bottle with no problems. Phew! I did come home to two kids who think Dad is the best.

The ferris wheel Daddy and Jonathan built...Daddy's Girl!
Too cute! Jonathan and Diana watching football...
