Latest from Frankfurt

Here are some of the latest pics of the boys as I haven't updated in a while. The weather has turned pretty gloomy and we are trying to keep busy with playdates and Music class during the week. Otherwise the boys love playing together and they are fun to watch. Gavin's eyes just light up when Landon talks to him. Gavin is sitting up on his own pretty well with a little bit of support and is still trying to figure out the crawling. He gets around really well by rolling everywhere and pushes himself (usually backwards) around. Landon is as always a little chatterbox. He LOVES talking and commenting on anything and everything. He is very curious and his vocabulary grows a lot everyday. His favorite question is "What are you doing Mommy/Daddy?" He narrates everything that he sees. He is also getting quite an imagination as he has his trains or Little People have conversations back and forth and it is cute to hear what he has them say.

Gavin's First Rice Cereal

We started giving Gavin rice cereal this week. Here are pics from his first tasting. His reactions were so cute to watch. Each day he has gotten more into it. I will have to get some pics of him this weekend as he has taken to lunging his open mouth at the spoon and bowl. I think he likes it now!

More Costume pics...

Trick or Treat!!

Here are our pics from our neighborhood trick or treating. Beforehand we watched It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and Landon loved it and has asked to watch it every day since then. It was a nice evening to be out trick or treating and handing out candy when we got home.

Trick-or treat!!!!

Jack-'o-Lanterns!

We also carved the boys' pumpkins on Halloween. Gavin kept wanting to get a taste of the yummy pumpkin!

Halloween Cookies!

We had a great time on Halloween morning making halloween sugar cookies together. Landon loved cutting them out and holding them and then shaking the sprinkles on top.
