Just a bit late in posting, but my silly baby boy turned 3 on the 8th. My how time flies when you are spending days with 2 energetic children. It has been an emotional month starting with Henry turning 3 (more to come in the next post). Henry had fun celebrating with the family for his birthday. Of course he wanted a CARS birthday and luckily, we did not have any flat tires! These 3 years with my sweet boy have been challenging to say the least, but oh so wonderful. I love this little boy more than I ever could have imagined. Thankfully he is just as sweet as he is silly. Thanks to all who celebrated with us. I love you Henry!!!

Pumpkins

So back where I left off about our pumpkin day. Henry spent most of the morning screaming and being defiant. He is either my sweet silly boy or my screaming (loudly) wild boy. He requires patience, patience and more patience. Last night at the dinner table he was making all of these silly noises and faces, so I looked at my husband and said "is this normal?" He just laughed and said "I remember doing that." Again, is it normal? Did I mention that he magically appeared in the kitchen after I had put him in his CRIB for a nap yesterday? I was really hoping to keep him there for a bit longer. Of course back to the crazy morning, after he woke up from his nap, it was "yes, mommy" and "ok mommy." My sweet boy was back. Claire had a great time cooking with Duncan and playing with Fiona. We also had the opportunity to go to a little pumpkin patch and have lunch with friends. We are blessed with such wonderful friends and family.

Duncan was cooking with Claire.

The look on his face exemplifies his attitude of the morning.

Sweet little Fiona

Very excited about pulling off the stickers.

mud

After Henry's nap, we went for a walk and then I decided to do some planting/digging. Claire and Henry starting off helping and then they found something much more exciting-mud! After all of the rain, our backyard is like a lake. At first it was just a little splash and it rapidly become stomping and yes, sitting. I decided worse things could happen and gave them their second bath of the day.

Claire went to our neighbor's house and came back in this "gown!"

Henry loves the walker wagon, but no steps on his own as of yet.

As Claire smiles for the camera, her brother is practicing one of his new favorite skills. . .climbing.

Claire and Henry have been having a great time lately. Claire's favorite pasttime continues to be playing in her dress up clothes. At the moment, Belle is definitely her favorite. Henry is very active and his activity of choice is going up and down the hall (the only one we have) using the walker wagon. To see more recent pictures, just click here.
