Camera Time

So I was taking pictures of Tyson in the rare moments he is awake. Kaleb was with Grandma and Grandpa. Erich was at a service project so Tyson got some well deserved mommy time. As I was taking pictures of course I was saying smile and he actually did. I don't know if it is too early to take this as anything, but I am considering this his first official smile.

Gone Fishing!

So Kaleb has been using random objects as fishing poles lately, so Erich got him one to play with. Here is a video of him fishing.

Starved Rock

We decided to get out of Peoria for the day and go up to Starved Rock and go on a hike. It was quite the process to get everything ready for both boys and get out the door. I thought I did a good job getting everything and felt like we were going on a trip for a week with all the stuff that we needed, but once we were on the road and were about 20 min. from our house I realized I had forgotten Tyson's bottles. I had the formula, but no bottles. So we had to make a stop at the store and picks some up. It made me and Erich realize that nothing is a quick trip with little ones. Well once we got up there it was time for changing diapers, feeding Tyson who wouldn't eat because he was trying to fill his diaper. Once that was all done we were able to go on the trails. Kaleb enjoy running ahead and making mom run after since dad was carrying Tyson. The trails were beautiful with the fall colors all around and the beautiful 73 degree weather. It was a beautiful weekend with weather that is exceptional for Illinois at this time of year, but of course I am not complaining just trying to enjoy it before it leaves. Well here are a few pics from our hike.

Kaleb loves seeing the fish he calls all of them nemo.

One Month

Tyson is one month old today. He is doing great even with having a cold. My poor little guy is already sick, but seems to be handling it well. Here is a pic of our little guy at 1 month.

Halloween

Halloween was fun this year with Kaleb being excited about going trick or treating and him wanting to help carve the pumpkin. He had fun all month seeing the pumpkins and decorations everywhere. We have been reading Halloween books all month "The Big Pumpkin", Berenstain Bears "Trick or Treat" and "It's Halloween" I think that helped Kaleb get excited and last night after trick or treating he wanted to read the trick or treat book. I am so glad my little boy likes to listen to stories. I see him learn and understand different things wether I read them to him or he looks at the pictures. Erich took Kaleb trick or treating while Tyson and I stayed home to pass out candy. He said Kaleb would go up to the front door and say "trick or treat" and then "Happy Halloween" It was so cute. We look forward to more fun with the rest of the Holiday season and the excitement he brings to them.

thrilled about his picture being taken. He must take after
his dad.

Carving the Pumpkin. Initially when Kaleb put his hand

in the pumpkin he said "Yucky" but then he continued to

help daddy. It was a fun Family Night together and Kaleb

was excited to make a Jack o Lantern.
