November

Whoever decided to do Spirit Week the same week as Halloween... maybe needs to rethink that decision. After a crazy morning of trying to get Meili all ready and to school on time on Halloween (Monday), I felt like we had a redo again on Tuesday with crazy hair/sock/shoe/clothes day.

Here's our photobomber: Grant.

 

Meili was funny trying to pick out her clothes. She wanted to be crazy but not too crazy. So she wore two boots in different colors. But wearing one boot and one tennis shoe was out of the question, and when I wanted her to wear one soccer sock and one regular sock, she thought I was crazy. So she wore the same style of sock in two different colors. And she was very nervous getting out the car-thinking that her mom was just nuts and she was going to be the only one with crazy hair.

 

This month Cam seems to have gotten a lot bigger really fast. He rolled over from tummy to back, and has basically rolled from back to tummy besides one arm.

We also started trying rice cereal, and so far we've failed and he hates it, just like the rest of our kids have.

 

 

He's basically big enough to be in his saucer now and can be entertained by toys for a little while.

 

These pictures I took just to bug Josh. Jake and Kami brought this Red Sox shirt back for us when Grant was little. When Cam had a blowout later that day, Josh said he wasn't surprised. He had to figure out a way to get out of that shirt.

He's pretty much the cutest boy in the world. We love this baby so much. He's our first baby that will lay contentedly by himself for any length of time. He's pretty good about sleeping both for naps, and at night. He eats great and there are even times that he's so low key that I forget about him (not for a long time, of course). He cries when he's tired, hungry, or doesn't want to be in his carseat, and that's about it. We just love him so much!

 

 

Now, for a couple of random pictures...

I just had to take this picture, because: Come on! The only thing cuter than Grant's toes, is Grant's toes in those shoes on the wrong feet.

Saddest picture in the world! Grant fell on his way into the gym about a week ago. It looked so bad, but he has recovered just great. But it was totally Murphy's Law because we were getting family pictures taken two days after this! Of course!

The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we went to MaryElizabeth's to help her eat her leftovers, and to put up the Christmas tree. It definitely does not look like it would have if Lou had decorated it, but I think he would have appreciated that the kids did it mostly themselves.
