Liv's first big shopping experience

Well, I took Livey to see her Aunt Carrie this past weekend to do some "Girl-power shopping". We met early at Starbucks, of course...and then headed out to the shops at Woodfield, Woodfield, and The Rack. Good times.. She totally enjoyed seeing all the people and loved the Bjorn more than anything! She's pretty mobile at the moment. Doesn't like to sit still. She hasn't quite mastered crawling yet but I would say she is pretty close.Meanwhile, Abe and Jude spent the day together, enjoying some male-bonding--AKA; Watching Football! Jude calls it basketball, but one of these days he'll get the difference :)

6 Months Already!

Just returned from Livey's 6month appt...The girl is growing like a weed. She was 17.5lb (75%) and 25 3/4 inches long (50%) and her little head is only 30%. Shots went as well as could be expected. Big brother Jude was along to encourage her and give her her binky/blankie when they were all done. He kept saying, "Gonna be all better Livey!". It was pretty sweet.

Happy Halloween

Jude's Halloween began on Friday with his Parade at "school". This photo is he, and his BFF, Ruth. Yes, she's the one who looks like a cupcake, in front of him! They are in L-O-V-E. It's so darling...they kiss/hug each other prior to leaving . Cracks me up!Livey enjoyed her 1st Halloween as a "PeaPod". It was kind of humerous...Humerous that we dress a 6-month-old up in a costume for fun! We know, she doesn't have a clue but it's still fun to see the little cutie

Lizzie was kind enough to open her home up to all of us "crazies" the night prior to Halloween so that our kids could enjoy one more night in their costumes...and make the cost worthwhile!

We only made 3 stops on Halloween night. Jude didn't even want to go trick-or-treating, but we forced him to get into the jogger and go! So, we made it to Pete & Jan's, Hoyt's, Grandma & Grandpas, (had a hard time leaving there)...and back to Gree & Grockey's for a delicious meal!

Livey did not know what was going on!
