October Fun

Don't you love the fall time in Arizona? We have been enjoying the cooler weather and just being able to go play outside. But I heard later on this week that it will heat up. (close to 100's, Yuck!)

Last week, I let Emi paint for the first time. She was so happy. I need to remember to bust out the paint more often. Then she decided that she needed to paint her nose. It's so much fun to watch her grow up and let her imagination take off. I hope she never loses that.


As for my little boy, he had his first feeding last week. It didn't go too well, so I decided, why rush? He'll let me know when he wants to eat. As for me, I definitely enjoy just giving him milk. So easy...
Please ignore the pink bumbo. This is what happens when you get gender specific things for your first child. Sorry buddy... not going to get a new one. :)


He had his 4 month old appointment two weeks ago and he's doing really good.
Here's his stats:
Weight: 16.5 lbs 85%
Height: 26 inches 85%
Head: 17 inches 75% (YEAH!!! His head is pretty normal!!! Emi's one was out of control huge, still is today.)


One of the greatest blessings of being a mom with two kids is actually seeing your children start to interact with each other. Emi is such a good sister and always wants Brenden to play with her. Right now her favorite thing is having Brenden be her dance partner for when she watches "Dancing with the Stars". Poor Brenden...

This picture shows Emi feeding Brenden so nicely, but her real motive for feeding him is so that he can be quiet as she watches Dora. Too funny...


Finally, Emi and her funny face. This is what the show Yo Gabba Gabba teaches your children. Geez... just got to love her.

Super cute kids. I wish we had nice weather here. man. Too many misquitos.
I have a question for you. What was that stuff you always got from Hawaii that you liked to put gummy bears in?? I was trying to explain it to my sis-in-law who's there.

Great pictures! The kids are so funny. Brenden doesn't look too happy with his cereal. Looking forward to seeing all of you in December.

P.S. The stuff you put in with the gummy bears is Li Hing Mui powder. Check it out at your local Chinese food store.

Your kids are so cute. I can't believe how big Brenden is getting. I'll have to remember paint for when my little one gets bigger.

boy! Brenden is about the same size as Eli, and they are "only" about 5 months apart!! He just seems to stop growing (except his waist...) lately.

I love to hear about little stories of your kiddos, they are soo soo cute.
