Mason 7 months



Mason is 7 months! He is keeping me on my toes! He started doing the army crawl almost a month a go and he is getting FAST! I was hoping for another month of immobility, but he loves being on the move. He is very content on the floor and not so much in our arms anymore. My baby boy is growing up! He is super wiggly on the changing table and getting into things that he shouldn't be so we are starting to work on discipline. I can't beleive we are to that point already. He's learning. He loves playing with Alyssa and Daddy. He is sleeping about the same. Waking up between 5 and 6am to eat. Sometimes he thinks it's morning after the feeding. The last few days we've been putting him down later, around 8-8:30pm, and he has been sleeping til 8am after the 6 am feed. Thats been kind of nice, although now Alyssa think 6something is morning. ugh. If only they could coordinate their schedules :)

Alyssa's Birthday #4!

My big girl!



We went to Chic-fil-A for lunch, went to a little cupcake shop for a treat and Alyssa had a bubble bath and her nails painted.



Nana came to wish Alyssa Happy Birthday!

Alyssa is 4!!

Alyssa had her big 4th birthday party yesterday. It was at Chuck E Cheese, pretty exciting. She had 5 friends and our families there. It seemed like quite a whirlwind of activities. They played games, had cake, met Chuckie, opened presents and played some more. Alyssa enjoyed herself and I think all the other kids did too.



Birthday Girl!









Her pillow pet! That was the big thing she wanted for her b-day. She told everyone she wanted one, luckily she only got one:)



Getting ready for the ticket blaster.



She didn't actually catch anything, but she thought it was fun. They gave her some free tickets though.

Little Blue Eyes





.....................................................................................

It's fun to see Alyssa and Mason starting to play together. One day while I was making dinner I asked Alyssa to play with Mason, and this is what they did. Mason loved all the attention from his big sister. It's hopefully the begining of a great brother-sister relationship.

Off we go into the wild blue yonder......

I got to fly today!! Riding in the glider was so much fun. It was a perfect day, no wind and clear skies. The flight was really smooth and the view was incredible. It was so cool being up there in an aircraft with no engine. The tow plane pulled us up a couple thousand feet and then they cut the rope and we glided down. It was a really awesome experience!

Little Ballerina

Alyssa started a ballet and tap class last week. The little girls are soo adorable. It is so cute to see 3 and 4 year old girls dancing around. The teacher is so good with them too. I was pretty surprised how well Alyssa did at following directions and paying attention. She really enjoys it.

Halloween




Alyssa was very excited to jump in the leaves, but there were too many pine needles so it was too pokey :(




Pumpkin carving. Such a beautiful day!





Alyssa's pumpkins



A C-17 flew over the Air Force game while we were outside carving pumpkins. The jump team jumped out of the C-17. Pretty cool.

They are doing a make up spouse flight on Thursday. Maybe we will have better luck!
