Hello....Is Anyone There?

Yikes, November must have been busy. It is almost over and the last post I did was November 8th. Tomorrow we welcome December and I can only imagine how quickly the time will go. Before I know it, we will be celebrating our babies 1st birthday! YIKES!!

Well, a lot has happened since my last post. Bentley is no longer slow and steady in the crawling department. He is fast, furious, curious and persistent. He pulls himself up on everything, he stands all alone for many seconds at a time, he cruises but he doesn't realize he can't just fling himself forward or backward when he wants to go somewhere. We have been lucky and have been able to catch him on most occurrences but I fear someday he will take a big spill. I guess that is part of it all.

He had a nasty virus last week and it was horrible to see him sick. It was 3-4 days of high temps and a sad and sick little guy. He was feeling better by Thanksgiving--thankfully :)

I will post some Thanksgiving pictures soon....this year we have so much to be thankful for and we all commented on how our lives have changed so much in just one year. We can't wait to continue to celebrate the holidays and will enjoy every minute of it, it is what we have been waiting for...for many, many years!!!!

Slow and Steady.....

....wins the race...right?

Well, we have a crawler folks! He moves fairly slow and I am thankful for that! It is amazing how one milestone makes such a difference. He seems so big, he doesn't seem like a baby anymore. I can see him spot something and then he moves....not fast...but he moves and he explores! Oh my---we are in trouble when he can move fast! Watch out cats---he is MOBILE!!!!

Ahoy Matey!

Our little pirate did pretty good last night for his first Halloween!

The cousins that still dress up:




As promised a couple 9 month pictures---seriously, this babe is getting too big!
