My First Fall Y'all

This is our most favorite time of the year!  We love everything about it: crisp air, beautiful colors, fall smells, activities and most of all football!  Our little guy has had a fun first fall so far.  We have enjoyed cheering the Hogs, spending time outside and going to the Schaefer's Pumpkin Patch.  He LOVES being outside so we have been enjoying the cooler weather.

The next photos were taken at Schaefer's Corn Maze.  They have it all: corn mazes. hay rides, pony rides, animals, and games.  I think this may become a family tradition!

Almost Crawling!

Here is a video of LG attempting to crawl.  He is a week shy of six months in the video.  It won't be long before I'm chasing him all over the place!

No Pain, No Gain

  This has been LG's motto for his fifth month of life.  We will forever remember this month as his "teething" month!  We have spent countless hours at night rocking and bouncing this poor baby.  But after 3 weeks, out popped two bottom teefers.  I dare any doctor, that says babies shouldn't have teething symptoms, to have spent just a night at our house.  LG is a little stingy with showing them off, so no pictures of them yet but here are some recent ones.

Ready for Daycare

LG,
   This has been one tough month for you.  There has been many tears shed by both of us but I learned to enjoy the late night moments with you.  We knew we would teach you many lessons throughout your life but we never thought about you teaching us lessons.  We quickly learned it was not our timing in getting your teeth but His.  We now have a better understanding of the word: Patience.  This experience has taught us how to lean on Him more.  He got us through this month and will continue guiding us through more milestones.  We love you so much and you are stealing our hearts more and more everyday!

Love,
Mommy

Five Months

Little Guy is five months old now and we are having so much fun with him.  He is such a sweet spirited, easy going boy.  He is no longer our "cradle in your arms" baby but our "hip hugging" baby.

Things he is up to now:
 - Loves blowing raspberries.  (He does this most of the day)
- Starting to crawl backwards
 - He is getting better at taking naps
-He is known as the "People Watcher" at daycare
-Reaching for Mom and Dad
-pulling hair :)
-Giving slobbery kisses
- Wants to grab and get his hands on everything

   
                           

Sweet Silly Memories

We are having so much fun, silly moments with LG lately and was able to capture some of them.

The first video is of us trying to keep LG pacified until we could get home.  We took him out shopping and surpassed our limits of his patience but the silliness paid off.

This next one is of Daddy and LG having a competition on making crazy noises.

Best Alarm Clock

The last couple of weeks, LG has been getting in an even better routine.  He has started to wake up around 6am and entertain himself until I come and get him around 7am.  This makes for a happy mom and happier boy.  Here is a video of the best alarm clock I could ever have: 

Four Month Pictures

Here are some of LG's pictures that my sweet friend, Miranda, took for us.  We love them! Sorry to flood you with all of them, but I had so many favorites!
