9 Months OLD!!!

Wow where is the time going - my "baby" is 9 months old! She is starting to get a spunky streak either that or she knows what she wants, which is becoming very obvious. She has begun to do this "fake" cry face which lets you know she is unhappy or when she is "complaining" (ALREADY)! At times I feel she is telling me exactly what she thinks!

When she sees that Carina and Sam are eating or drinking she would like you to give her something as well! Okay I can understand that... She continues to put food away like crazy but you wouldn't know it by looking at her she still is very petite but is wearing her age in clothes (the only one of my kids that I can say has done this!)

She is babbling all the time and has started this scream when excited (which is cute)! It is very cute to see the relationship that she is getting with Carina and Sam - she loves to watch them and she often looks like she wants to jump out of your lap to get in the mix!! Soon enough... that time will be here soon enough!! Sam is so funny with her - he has the big brother guard which is so cute to see at this early of an age - she looks up to him like he is the best thing ever!!

She has no need to crawl, much like Carina she could careless if there is a toy or something that she wants across the room. She is working on her management skills and will let you know that she would like something different to play with. Audrey is very sweet and has been since day one - very easy going and is so happy! She likes to laugh and is always smiling! I couldn't ask for anything more!!

A BEAUTIFUL FALL DAY!!

Today was a beautiful day! The kids decided to rake leaves and play in them!!

Audrey was watching Carina and Sam and thought they were so funny throwing the leaves!
So serious!
Sam and Carina playing in the leaves! Yes Sam does have on his bike helmet he was riding his bike.

Carina Jean
Sam tried on Clint's shoes - they are about as big as Sam.
Sam showing off his moves - a little one arm thing.
Dance Carina Dance!!
The night was young for Carina and Sam...this is when the dancing began! Uncle Clint put on some cool Halloween music for everyone to dance to "The Monster Mash", "Thriller" just to name a few...
Audrey was exhausted after trick-or-treating.
Carina showing off her candy! Carina said "I love trick-or-treating, it is so much fun!" Makes me remember when I was a kid how much fun I had!

Maddie coming back from a house, at this point I think Maddie and Sam were getting tired!

Well If you were wondering what Big Sam ended up going as - here it is a Fireman! We tried the lion suit, and talked about the monkey suit but there was a lot of head shaking "NO" involved so he loves his boots, my sister said "too bad you don't have a fireman jacket" and I said "I do" (a free one that my friend Angela had given me. Who would have known a costume that was free (except for the dollar hat from the dollar tree)!!


Here Sam is deciding that he wants to stop wearing the hat! This was at the beginning of the night...

The cutest little bumble bee!
Thank you Hoosh and Jack for sending the Halloween goodies!!!


Sam with his spider - he thinks it is really cool!

Carina got these window gems, which she loves!! These were a big hit!!


Miss Audrey with her ghost bib! Too cute!

Carving Pumpkins!

This past week we carved pumpkins. Since we have been to two pumpkin patches we have a slew of pumpkins and Carina was beginning to ask daily we could carve them. She loves the festivities of the holidays!




Scooping out the pumpkin guts

Audrey was enjoying the newspaper...

Sam was not to fond of touching the inside of the pumpkin.
