Burning down the house....

So we had a grease fire in our oven last week and let me tell you it made a mess! Three fire trucks came but by the time they got there, the fire was out. Thanks to my wonderful family who spent their whole Saturday helping clean our smoke-filled and extinguisher-dusted house! My kitchen is cleaner than it ever has been before! And our oven looks like new (except for the nobs).

Halloween

This halloween wasn't so much fun for us- we were all sick. Friday night, we had a family halloween party but we had to go home early because Brad was not feeling well. We didn't do anything Saturday but sleep and try to get better. Brad went to bed really early since he wasn't feeling good and Ryan and I spent Halloween watching the Ghostbusters movies. I only made it through the first movie- Ryan stayed up for Ghostbusters 2.

Here is Brad's costume: A 3 eyed monster!!!

(this picture was taken when we first got his costume...super happy)

Brad & Cousin Mack the pirate:

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!!!

6 month check up

Brad had his 6+ month check up a couple weeks ago. The dr. asked if I feed him steak and potatoes at each meal... Brad is 19lbs and is 27 3/4 inches long. He is in the 75th percentile for weight and length and 75-90th percentile for his big head :) He is just so dang cute and happy. He isn't quite crawling yet but he sure tries. He can get up on all fours now and rock back and forth... and he does crawl backwards, just not forward yet. He makes his way around pretty good though.



He loves to ride on dad's shoulders and play with (eat) Ryan's hair.
