Halloween is here!

It was so warm for Halloween, it was about 65 degrees that night. We just wore our sweatshirts. Ian was a Monkey for Halloween. Whitley didn't dress up this year. You know,.....she's too old for that stuff. But she did want to carry Ian to trick-or-treat.

These pictures we were at Tom & Cory's in Ravenna for a Halloween party. The kids had a blast. All of Ian's cousins on Dan's side of the family were there.

And,....Sammy who of course didn't want his picture taken

Ian is crawling!

Ian started crawling today. It was awesome because it was on Roni's birthday, October 23rd that he started to crawl! What a great birthday present! He's still a little shaky but doing very well for his first time!

Ian is 10 months!

We can't believe Ian is 10 months old now. Soon he'll be one! Here are some pictures of the cute boy on his 10 month old birthday.

Rolling everywhere!

I just took a bunch of pictures of Ian rolling around today. He rolls everywhere and gets caught in some hard to reach places. It's so cute. Sometimes he gets stuck and can't get out and cries or yells for me to come and get him. Here are some of the places he's rolled to.

Homecoming '08

Can you believe it? Whitley went to Homecoming with Joe. They went to his Homecoming because hers was on the night of the Priesthood session. They look very nice getting ready to leave. Joe's mom was their chaperone for most of the evening as they couldn't find anyone to double with. They had a good time even though they said the dance was lame!

Alone time!

Sometimes Ian is so funny! We have found that sometimes he just likes to be left alone. He really just likes to have some alone time in his crib! He has an aquarium that plays music and moves and a snoopy mobile that he likes. When he gets crabby and seems like he wants to take a nap we wrap him in his swaddling blanket (which he loves, he won't go to sleep without it, somehow it makes him feel comfortable, maybe even safe), so we wrap him up and put him in his crib. Then sometimes we will hear him playing with his aquarium or kicking it for sometimes up to a good hour. It's so funny! Perfectly happy like that, doesn't want to be held, doesn't want anyone to play with him, just wants to be in his crib with his aquarium! Here are some pictures and a video of him in his crib!

Apple Picking with Dan's Family

Every year we go apple picking in the latter part of September or the beginning of October. This year we went on Saturday October 4th. It was a beautiful fall day! Ian got to have some of the fresh donuts and apple fritters that they make at the apple farm! He was loving it!

Getting Ready to Crawl!

Ian is getting so close to crawling. He gets up on all fours and tries really hard. My guess is it will only be a couple more weeks until he is crawling. Sissy helps him a lot.

And here is some video of him trying. It's so cute! Sometimes he gets really frustrated and just lays down on the carpet and yells or cries!
