O the joys...

of Trader Joe's O's! It is an exciting day in our house when I go to Trader Joe's. I buy things there to try that I never would at our usual grocery store! Today, one thing I bought was Trader Joe O's (essentially Spaghetti O's) and both Drew and Jane Ramsey LOVED them!

Bunk beds


What a fun weekend this has been! Jacob had a guys weekend and went camping. The kids and I packed up and spent one night with the Hwangs and one night with the Hildebrands. While not much sleep was had, thanks to JR and Drew, it was a fun time for all of us.

We came home this afternoon and Jacob finished putting together our new bunkbeds. Drew has officially transitioned from the crib to the big boy bed. They are both thrilled! I had a fun time rearranging the room now that we have more space sans crib. Hopefully the first nights rest in the new beds will be restful!

Our darling bugs





Yesterday was our neighborhood's annual Halloween parade. It is always held the Saturday prior to Halloween. Cate decided she wanted to be a lady bug so I decided to have a "bug" theme this year. Cate a ladybug, Drew a spider, and JR a bumblebee. They are the cutest bugs I've ever seen! Maybe I'll get creative and come up with a buggy costume for Jacob and me for trick-or-treating next weekend. You know, I'm so fond of cockroaches....

9 months!

Baby girl, as we often refer to her, is 9 months old!! We had her well check on Wednesday and she is doing great. She was 19 lb. 10 oz (65%) and 27 1/2 inches long (50%). We still think of her as "petite" since Cate and Drew were both 90+% for their stats!

She is now crawling, can pull up onto certain things, and loves to stand (with support, of course). She has started some finger foods, too. She is sleeping better overall and in the past month actually started sleeping through the night. But, the last couple of weeks have had their ups and downs for sleeping as her 2 top teeth are about to cut through.

She is such a doll, loves to smile, and gets very excited when she sees her brother or sister. She likes to give a squeal of delight. We're very thankful for our precious baby girl!
