October 2008

This past October has been a busy one!  Mimi, Pop, and Uncle Keith have been settling into their new home here in Florida and it's been nice to be able to see them more often.  A few weeks ago, Cousin Brad flew down from NJ with Pop to visit.  He and Kealon had a blast going to Dinosaur World (of course) and hanging out with our friend Tammy at her Disney timeshare!  Kealon loves when his cousins come to play.









Kealon is also enjoying his sister as she grows and is able to interact with him more.  He likes to get down on the floor with her and help her sit up again if she "accidentally" topples over--she seems to fall over a lot more when he's around!  :)  Kealon's "new thing" is talking to his fingers (I guess they are his imaginary friends).  They always wiggle and talk back in a high voice. We think it's pretty hilarious!   
A typical conversation might go something like this...

Fingers:  No!  Don't eat us!
Kealon:  Don't worry, guys!  I won't eat you.
Fingers:  But you are going to eat us! 
Kealon: No, I'm just eating my pizza! 
Fingers: Oh, ok.

Haidyn is also doing new things.  Her favorite thing right now is jumping in her bouncy chair or exersaucer.  She goes crazy!  I have to get a video on YouTube soon.   Her eating habits continue to baffle me.  I thought she was ready to wean, but then the next week she got back on track with nursing!  She won't drink from a bottle, but I did find a sippy cup she likes.  But she refuses to drink any formula out of it!  As for eating, she closes her lips and turns her head when offered any type or any stage of babyfood. Sometimes she will eat a bowl of baby cereal, but that's it!  So, at 6 months I resorted to table food.  Now at 7 months, she is eating spaghetti and meatballs, chicken noodle soup, instant oatmeal, scrambled eggs, pancakes...almost anything that we are eating.  I'm not sure how she manages it, since she only has 4 teeth and they are all on the bottom!  She certainly appears to be a healthy and happy baby, so I guess I'll just keep going with the flow :)  


Choo-Choo!

Hurray for Philly!

Mmmm!  Spaghetti and meatballs!



Trip to Canada

I've been VERY behind in adding pictures to the blog!  Sorry!  Since we've returned from our trip we've been keeping pretty busy between colds, church activities and just the everyday routine stuff.

We had so much fun during our trip to Canada! We were able to visit for over a week with Auntie Jan, Uncle Jan, Dee-Dad and lots of friends.  The weather was actually really nice, even during the last couple of days when the temperature started to drop--brrrr!  It was nice to experience some fall weather and see the leaves changing colors.  I think Kealon's favorite part was going to the park with Uncle Jan to see the black squirrels!

We love our Dee-Dad!
