9 Months Old

Eating the Christmas decor.

Playing with Rudolph.

Whiny britches.

Stop taking pictures...I want down!

Playing instead of napping.

My teeth are sprouting everywhere!

I wish my mom would clean my face.

Today was the day...on his nine month birthday, Benjamin decided that it was time to crawl.

Thanksgiving.

Where's my baby?

So much fun to make.

Pumpkin Patch

It was too windy for us to go to Calico Ghost Town, 

so we headed to the pumpkin patch instead.

Mr. Personality

Thumpin' to find a good one.

What, I'm not supposed to lick it?

Benjamin wouldn't cooperate.

Corn in California?

Um....this is a bit heavy!

Too distracted to look at us!

He picked out a keeper, it had a long piece of vine to chew on.

 

Who's a goober?

Happy Halloween, Everyone!

Getting up on all fours.

My sick little boy.

Pumpkin Carving

Ben didn't really do any carving, he just played with the insides.

He loved it, wanted to eat it.

Play date with the daddies.

Ben and Frankie, inside on a rainy day.

Riding Frankie's new ride.

So many toys.

The two Alex's had the day off.

Who said daddies don't have play dates?

The Boys are Back in Town!

We had a play date today with all but one of Benjamin's Belly Buddies.

Frankie was baptized today, so he couldn't join us.

It was so much fun to see the boys together, 

now that they are a little bit older,

and a lot more active.

Each in his own zone.

Forming their band.

All propped up.
(Well, almost.)

Jack, Benjamin, Noah, Josiah, Aidan, and Anthony

This was much easier 4 months ago!

So Cute!
