Alexander is 9 months old!

Our little guy is 9 months this week. Time has flown by and we are loving life with Alexander. He is all over the place. He loves to play hide and seek and crawls so fast! He pulls himself up everywhere, especially in his crib when he is supposed to be sleeping! He pretends sleeps when he sees us coming in sometimes, it is hilarious. He also pretends coughing. He loves to pull my hair. He loves taking walks, he sits all the way to the front of the stroller and watches everything. He dances when Taylor turns on the radio or sings. He can mimic notes that I sing. He loves dogs! Our neighbor has a dog and Alexander goes crazy when he sees him. He hates bibs and pulls them off every time. He is getting two more teeth on top, so he slobbers everywhere, he always has a slobber ring on his shirt. He never holds still, but has started cuddling with mommy! He laughs so hard when Taylor whistles. He loves playing patty cake and this little piggy. He is taking 2 naps and sleeps through the night (most nights). He is now taking a bottle and seems much happier. He still loves gogurts- they are his favorite treat. He weighs 22 lbs and the doctor says he is looking great. We just love our little guy and he makes us so happy.

Halloween!

We finally got into our new apartment. It has been a crazy time, but I am so grateful that we were able to stay with Taylors parents- I don't know what we would have done without them! We moved in last friday/saturday thanks to Taylors Dad and his friend Trent. I have definitely taken my time unpacking, because I feel like I always rush to put things away, just for the sake of having things out of the box then, a few weeks later I organize it the way I want it. So this time, I am trying to put it where I really want it! I really like our apartment and I am excited to make it seem more like home. We are in the same ward that we have been in this summer.

We went to our ward trunk or treat on Tuesday and took Taylor's cousins Hannah and Hunter with us. Hunter was Batman and Hannah was Robin. They are so awesome. Taylor and I dressed up as redneck coon hunters, with Alexander a . s the little raccoon. I am so mad because we didn't get a picture. Taylor had a sweet mullet! One of our friends in the ward got one, so I will have to snag it from her. On wednesday I took Alexander to Taylor's parents ward trunk or treat while Taylor was at work. Then we went over and visited both set of Grandparents. It was a fun Halloween, even though I bought a bunch of candy and was never home to give any out. I guess we'll just have to eat it..

I took these pictures of Alexander for Halloween. (Sorry for the watermark)






I love this cute little bug. He is getting so big and turns 9 months this week. More on that one later! Happy November!
