8 months

Caitlin is a BUSY baby, always on the go or wanting to be on the go. Let's just say she is strong willed! Unlike Carson at 8 months who enjoyed being held, read to and even got in a little t.v. time by this age she wants nothing that keeps her in the same place long! She has been scooting for the past month and is defiantly mobile. She has 4 teeth, 2 bottom and 2 {her fangs} up top.

Cait excels at the sit and reach!


She also pulls herself up to standing already-crazy! At times it seems like she is ready to start running and I think she would if she could!

Halloween Circa 1992

My Aunt Lisa has been posting old Halloween pictures from over the years on her blog and happened to have one of my siblings and I with our cousins. My brothers are the pumpkin and lion, they were so cute! Man those were the good old days!

Free time

With me in school, time is precious because I never seem to have enough of it! This weekend, amidst studying and such we managed to spend time doing what I like best just hanging out.

Saturday, while Andrew was watching football by Carson's request we made candied apples. They turned out great (I don't do candy after several failed attempts but these worked!). However, I now know that I prefer caramel apples.

Sunday we made a few Halloween crafts which as you can tell, Carson was really into.


The weather has been bizarrely hot for fall and Sunday was crisp and cool and it even rained so we went outside to play in the rain, I knew we wouldn't melt so why not?!



The weekend is always what I need to semi-recharge and I love spending it with my kids because they make me happy!
