Shoe Laces

Aren't you just dying to squeeze him? He looks so squeezable in his sweat shirt and pants.

Discovering his shoe laces...

It looks like he's thinking,

"I can undo those cute little bows? I should bend over and suck on these awesome shoe laces."

Kick Back and Relax

It looks like Ethan is trying to kick off his slippers and relax. I'm not too sure if that is the most relaxing position.

Hug

Sunday

The boys look so handsome in their Sunday clothes.

Ethan's Pearly Whites

I finally got a picture of Ethan's front teeth. They started poking through just before he turned 6 months old.

7 Months Old

Our baby is getting so big! 7 months old already? He has learned so many new things and has grown so much in such a short amount of time. Our little boy has two front teeth. He loves rice crackers and can drink from his sippy cup. He likes to play with Landon. He especially loves it when Landon shares his toy cars and trains with him. He loves to play peek-a-boo. He can go from sitting position onto his tummy really well now, and he can scoot around. He's so close to crawling. He likes to laugh at Landon acting silly. He gets sad if a toy is taken away from him. He loves to sit in front of a basket of toys and take every single toy out of it. He enjoys watching "Brainy Baby" movies. He is fascinated with the cute baby he sees when he looks in the mirror. He has a soft heart and such a sweet personality. We love having him in our family.

Too Cute Not to Post

It's so cute when babies have one sock on and one sock off. The same goes for the shoes too.Cute legs. Where are his ankles?

That look!

What a doll.

Graham Crackers

Landon loves dipping these "cookies" into milk.

He's got a little bit of apple on his nose that he's saving for later.

YUM!

A Piano Duet

Ethan loves playing the piano, and Landon can't let Ethan play it alone.

Maybe one day they'll both be able to read music and play duets on the piano.

This video is great. Landon even sang along with the music the boys were playing.

Jumping Onto Piles

When I was younger, I loved to jump off objects onto nice soft landings of whatever (cushions, a pile of leaves, a pile of blankets on the trampoline). Landon likes to lay couch cushions from Lisa's and Dan's couch onto the floor and jump off of our couch onto them. Ethan laughs when he sees it.

Pager

Landon noticed how Daddy clips his EMS pager to the side of his belt. Landon wanted to try it on too so he had daddy help him clip it onto the side of his pull ups. He likes to do everything daddy does.

Landon's Clover

All the leaves have finally fallen off of our trees and bushes, but our rose bush still has pretty roses blooming. I let Landon choose a flower from off of the rose bush. He had recently been watching "Horton Hears a Who," and told me that the rose was a clover. When I tried to tell him it was a rose, he would say, "No, Mom. Clover."

Little Chubster

Ethan is definitely not just skin and bones. What a doll. This past month he learned to grab his feet. He seems to grab them every time I'm trying to change his diaper. He tries to suck on his toes.

I took a video of the cute little chubster.

Balloon Boxing

The Grade School had safety night a while back and Landon got these balloons at it. He loved them while they lasted.

He especially loved boxing against Daddy with the balloons.

Playing Trains

Ethan's Laugh

Ethan has the cutest laugh. Landon is the best at getting him to laugh. I was able to get him to laugh at me 

while playing peek-a-boo and we caught it on video

The Best Daddy Ever

Daddy doesn't pass up an opportunity to sit and snuggle with Landon while they watch a movie together.

He doesn't pass up opportunities like this either.

Landon and Ethan have the best Daddy ever!

Halloween Happenings

Landon's first time decorating pumpkins. He loved it!

Ethan watched.

I was so impressed with Landon's art. I told him each body part to draw on the face, and he drew them all by himself! Then, we took glow in the dark puffy paint and colored in the spaces.

Here are our beautiful pumpkins out on the porch.

Here are the boys on trick-or-treat night. Ethan was a white tiger and Landon was Thomas the Train.

Landon had tons of fun trick-or-treating. We pushed the boys down the neighborhood streets in the stroller. Landon would hop out at each house and run up to the door with his pumpkin basket and knock on the door. We practiced at home playing trick-or-treat and he did really good, but he just stood frozen at each persons house once they opened the door. He wouldn't say, "trick or treat," but he did blow his train whistle for them. He sure loved going trick-or-treating. He especially loved the candy he got!

On Halloween night, we went with Daddy and Grandma Gallaher to the pumpkin walk.

This is the best picture I got of Daddy and the boys.

We took pictures of some of the cool pumpkins on the pumpkin walk.

Here is "Icky Mouse!"

I liked this one a lot.

The witch from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Michael Jackson

We couldn't go to the pumpkin walk without taking advandage of the photo opps.

Here is Landon as the headless horseman.

Happy Halloween!
