Happy Thanksgiving...

7 months...

Not a whole lot has changed! He still doesnt care to roll over even though I know he can! He is sitting up a little better, but still needs someone there to catch him when he falls!! He has one more tooth on the bottom (still waiting for those top teeth to make an appearance). He is still not really sleeping through the night, but takes pretty good naps during the day! He is always 'swinging' his arms. It is the cutest thing to watch even though I know I could never explain it (he gets his wrists/elbows rolling)...most of the pictures below show him mid-flail!! He is a happy boy and, as his dad says, he always has to be held!!!! We sure love him!

Here is Jack at 7 months. I dont have them in the same outfit because that shirt doesnt really fit Brody (surprising because I think Brody is smaller than Jack was).

Best Buds...

The Magic House...

While in St. Louis visiting my sister, we headed over to The Magic House. It was huge and lots of fun. There was so much to do...we were there for 3 1/2 hours and still didnt see everything there was to see! They also had a Curious George exhibit that was lots of fun and we even got to meet Curious George himself!! Thanks mom for taking us to The Magic House and Kelly for a fun filled weekend as always!!!!

No I did not pose him like this...yes, I sat him next to this cute CG, but Brody put his arm around CG himself! So cute :)

What cute little buddies!

Tyler loved 'fixing' this car!

Train Park...

Grandma, Jack, Brody and I got to drive over to my sister, Kelly's house for a couple of days this past week. We had lots of fun playing with cousins! The first thing on the list of stuff to do was go to a really fun park that had a train caboose. The weather was absolutely gorgeous!

Practicing his driving skills!

Be A Lion...

Even though we couldnt find a pumpkin patch to go to this year, Clay picked us up some nice pumpkins from the grocery store and we decorated pumpkins on Thursday night! Jack and I painted ours and Clay carved his. We really arent very talented in that area so I am a little embarrassed to show any pictures of our pumpkins but I guess it is for the memories :).

We went to our Ward Halloween party on Friday night. Jack didnt want to wear his costume but we finally convinced him to put it on so he could get candy! I think some of the rooms (it was raining so we had to bring our Trunk or Treat into the church) scared him but overall he did a good job of saying 'Trick or Treat' and 'Thank you' to everyone! Brody was a cute little monkey even though he didnt know any better!!!

On Halloween we went to dinner with my parents and then stopped by the park to meet up with some friends from the ward after which we came home, changed into costumes and did a little trick or treating in my parents neighborhood. The weather was beautiful...a nice crisp night! Jack liked to try and walk into the peoples homes and just grab the candy from them, at least he was a nice boy and said thank you!!! We are still trying to work on 'Trick or Treating' etiquette. He also got scared rather easily by the giant blowup ghosts in the yards or the scary looking pumpkins. His mom and dad luckily held his hand and helped him work past it! All in all it was a fun filled Halloween!!!

He loved painting his pumpkin and covered just about every square inch!

Jack Trunk or Treating in the church...he didnt like to keep the hood on.

Oh Clay is a funny guy! He really does love his mother in law...I just didnt get one of them hugging it out!!

My jungle animals...my mom had this great lion costume and it went quite well with our monkey costume from Jacks first Halloween!

I love these pictures!!!

I love Brodys arm resting on the side of the couch!!!
