I can't believe Megan will be one in a month. She can stand on her own now and has even taken a few steps. She loves the stairs and can make it all the way to the top. She is doing great and we are looking forward to celebrating our first Christmas with her.
Megan is ten months old today. She is growing so fast. She has 6 teeth now, four on top and two on bottom. She pulls up on everything and will even stand by herself for a few seconds. She has discovered the stairs and has made it up to the third step. I guess it is time to pull out the gate. She weighs 22 lbs 6 oz and is 30 inches long.
We had a fun time this Halloween. The boys love Super Mario brothers so that was their theme this year. Tyler was Luigi, Jake was Mario, and Luke was Yoshi the dinosaur. I couldn't find the Princess Peach costume that went with Super Mario brothers for Megan but I did find a cute princess dress that looked a lot like her. We did our trunk or treat at church. Our Sunday School class decorated two cars so after we went around we helped hand out candy which the boys really seemed to enjoy. After that we went home and went trick or treating around the neighborhood. It was a good night.
Luke had a field trip with his preschool class to the pumpkin patch Friday. It was a nice one. They had a hayride and a nature walk and got to stuff a scarecrow, pick out a pumpkin and feed the animals. Luke had a lot of fun. We all didn't get to go as a family this year, but I enjoyed the trip with Luke and hope we can all go next year.
Megan is nine months old today. She is at such a fun age. She is starting to pull up and has begun clapping. She is crawling everywhere and into everything. She is a little human vacuum cleaner. She will put anything in her mouth that she can get her hands on. Her bottom two teeth have pretty much come in and she is starting to get a top tooth. She is eating some table foods now. She had some of a baked potato the other night and loved it. Here she is at nine months. It is getting harder to get her picture in this chair because she won't sit still. Luke was with me in her room when I was taking her picture, so he of course had to have his picture taken too. So Luke is also included at 3 years and almost 4 months.
Tyler asked Jesus into his heart a while back and was baptized this past Sunday, the 26th. He did great. He was so excited. He was a little concerned about how deep the water would be, but he did great and had the biggest grin on his face the whole time. He is such a good kid and has a strong love for Jesus, one we pray will only get stronger. We love you Tyler and are so proud of you.
Megan is eight months old today. I know I say this every post but time really is flying by. She was just born and now she is sitting by herself, holding her own bottle and so close to crawling. I noticed yesterday that her bottom two teeth are starting to come in and last night Jake lost his second front tooth. So while one child is getting teeth, another one is losing them. Everyone is growing up too fast. I am just so thankful they are all healthy and doing so good. Thank you, Jesus.
Luke started preschool today. He was excited to be a big boy and to be going to school like his big brothers. He seemed to really enjoy his first day. He kept saying how much fun he had and that he was ready to go back. He goes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and his teacher is Mrs. Missy.
It is hard to believe that Megan is already seven months old. Time is flying by. She is growing up too fast. She is sitting up by herself now. She is pulling up on her hands and knees, but hasn't learned how to move forward. She can however scoot backwards. I definitely can't leave her unattended on the couch or bed anymore. She rolls everywhere. She kicks her feet when she gets excited and is still so fascinated by her brothers. She loves to be a part of whatever they are doing. At her last check-up she weighed 21 lbs 2 ozs and was 28 inches long.
