Just Hanging About

In case you were missing some random shots of our everyday lives:Pepper sporting a very cute dress.

She's already got that "Oh, Mom get off me!" look down pretty good.

I just loved this dress and bloomers. Thanks Minde for having great taste!

I thought this outfit was so cute but by the time Pepper grew into it the weather was too warm. Luckily the weather has begun to turn into fall and Pepper still fits into 3 mos clothes at 5 mos. That never would have happened with Morgan!

I was trying to get her to smile and this is her pity smile.

It sure made me smile!

Relaxing with Daddy, or at least Daddy is trying to relax...I'm sure Morgan is not helping.

Morgan got up on the ottoman to put on a show for us.

He's really starting to become quite the singer, choosing to make up most of his songs rather than sing regular ones. Though every once in awhile we'll catch an XYZ or crocodile "Snap" in there.

We went to Babies-R-Us last Sat. and I found this guitar Halloween costume.

Sadly they didn't have Morgan's size but how fantastic would that be. He could play himself!

Playing with the displays.

I bought this hat for Morgan at the beginning of the summer and this Monday I finally got him to wear it for one walk around our complex. At least I captured the moment on film.

So Morgan's new obsession in musical instruments is a violin. He tells me everyday that he needs a violin and that he wants to add it to his Christmas list. I told him I would work on getting him one and have already enlisted my mom to help me find one or a suitable substitute. In the meantime, completely on his own, Morgan found a temporary violin.

This kid amazes me everyday!

This is the face I get when trying to take his picture.

Yesterday he brought me his book of colors and proceeded to name the color than name all the letters in the word and point out all the pictures on the page by name. I was astounded.

Morgan cannot wait for story time with Daddy every night before bed and begs me to read him books all day long. If I cannot help him he starts reading or reciting the book out loud to himself. This makes me endlessly happy.

On Saturday afternoon we were the only crazies swimming in our very cold pool.

But luckily the kids don't seem to mind one bit.

Yesterday I tried out a new bread recipe.

It's called a seeded wheat bread and was quite delicious.

Didn't look half bad either!

So that was our past week. Now you know!
