We're off to see the Wizard....

Annika, Ashley and Michael were the best dressed - and most polite - trick-or-treaters we saw all night!

(Thanks, too, for loaning us the adorable frog costume.)

Boo Hoo

Happy Halloween!

Oh Baby!

Today was the Fredericksburg Baby & Child Expo. One of the highlights was realizing Brayden can now hold his head up well enough to face forward in the Baby Bjorn.

We also had a chance to catch up with Dillon and Wendy. Dillon celebrated his 1st Birthday last week and is one of the reasons our son is so well dressed!

Finally, Brayden got a jumpstart on his Christmas Wish List.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

Yep, Kevin and I have both "caught" Brayden with a thumb in his mouth. He's not honed the talent yet, so last night we anxiously watched for a few minutes while he tried to find the correct placement. He ended up with his index finger in one nostril several times and his thumb between his cheek and gum a lot. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), it looks like he's finally found the right spot.

Another THRILLing pumpkin patch...

The kid will sleep anywhere...anytime...

Bullseye!

Yippee! I found Brayden a bathing suit at Target! Although the stores already have Christmas stuff on the shelves (can't they wait until AFTER Halloween?!?!?), there was one suit left - it's adorable and was only $1.48!!! Perfect for the YMCA this winter. I also found this cute hat and glove set for tomorrow night's football game. He insisted on modeling both...

What the Hoolio?

 

Go Spotsy Middle Bulldogs!

Brayden made MANY faces while watching Kevin's girls basketball team defeat Thornburg Middle School today:

My almost smile...

My shy look....

My serious look...

My "whatcha talkin' about?" look...

My cool look....

Still cheeky....
