5 months

RJ turned 5 months on Dec 1st!! He is such a sweet and happy baby. He can sit up by himself for a few seconds and is trying to crawl (but gets frustrated because he doesn't go anywhere!!). He is also eating some solid foods; rice cereal, applesauce and sweet potatoes.

Gig 'Em Aggies!!

With Mommy at the children's Christmas party

I thought this shirt was appropriate

We think he is also teething since he is constantly chewing on his fingers!!

November catch up

I'm pretty behind this month, so I thought I would just post a bunch of random pictures! I will explain some of them, or I will just let the picture speak for itself :)

Ryan's first taste of real food! Caroline was totally into it ;)

Once she saw what I was doing, she wanted to help. Don't worry, she wasn't actually feeding him!

Ready to rob a bank in some dress up clothes from Aunt Carol and Uncle Russ

At the park, early November!! It's already so cold!!

Bundled up!

Thinking about crawling... I think we still have a while!

Early morning art project (hence the pjs). Painting handprint turkey's for Thanksgiving

RJ is supervising...

Happy Baby!!

I thought I'd throw in a picture of me!!!! Downtown Seoul for shopping, mani/pedis, and a margarita lunch to celebrate Becky's b-day!

Slobbery...but I love those blue eyes

Caroline said that RJ "wanted" to get into bed with her after nap. Cute!

Silly baby!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! This year our little ones dressed as the Tortoise and the Hare (or just a cute bunny and a sweet turtle). This was the first year that Caroline really understood what was happening and she loved every minute!! We had a great time trick or treating in our old apartment building on base. Here are some pictures, I apologize they are a little out of order.

The turtle was worn out after all the excitment!!

Begging for candy

The bunny wouldn't stand still for a picture

3 month update

RJ turned 3 months on Oct 1st! I can't believe how time is flying and how fast he is growing! I catch myself wanting to call him a "newborn" still, because I feel like he was just born yesterday. He is such a joy in all of our lives! He LOVES to watch Caroline run around like crazy, like all 2 1/2 yr olds do, and is entertained by her, which is GREAT for me!!! Caroline is such a great big sis. She is mommy's little helper and loves to give RJ kisses and make him laugh. RJ now weighs 15.5 pounds and is fitting comfortably in his 3-6 month clothes, which scares me because I have LOTS of 3-6 mo winter clothes that I'd hoped would last a little longer!

Hanging out in the bumbo while Caroline takes a bath. He loves to sit up either in my lap or in his chair (he still needs a lot of support but is getting better at it every day :)

"Mommy's little cowboy" I thought he looked HUGE (but super cute!) in this outfit yesterday so I had to take a picture. He is all smiles and laughs these days! In fact he was cracking up at one of Caroline's toys last night! It was so cute!
