Fall Shots

I love the fall.

I love the colors of fall.

And I especially love taking pictures of my two youngest boys looking absolutely adorable outside in the fall.

Our Own Edward Cullen

Gavin is getting new teeth! He already has the two bottom ones, and now is cutting two new ones on top... but not the front teeth... the fangs! Just in time for Halloween, we have our own little baby vampire at home. I just had to snap a picture, because it won't last long. Those front 2 teeth are fighting their way through soon!

Chuck E Cheese

Took the kiddos to Chuck E. Cheese on Monday with their cousins. The day started off nice enough... both older boys enjoyed the rides and games as Gavin chewed on some yummy pizza. But, there is something about the endless noise and stimulus in that place that wears down the nerves of adults and children alike. After about two hours, I was most certainly ready to leave. And so were the boys. In fact, they all conked out on the way home.

On a side note, usually Landon is terrified of any character in costume. Typical for a kid his age. So, when the costumed 'Chuck-E' started making the rounds, I tried to steer Landon as far away from the mouse as I could. Somehow, Chuck-E managed to sneak behind Landon as he rode a carousel horse. Fully expecting tears and a total freak-out, instead Landon took an instant liking to Chuck-E and proceeded to follow him around the entire place for the next 20 minutes. He literally trailed the heels of the guy like he had candy or something. But nope, Landon just wanted to hug and high-five him and kept repeating "Chuck-E, Chuck-E!!" It was one of the most unexpected and cute things Landon's done in awhile.

Shedd Aquarium

Through the months of October and November, Shedd Aquarium is offering free admission! Martine and I took advantage of the free day and took the kids down to visit. The boys loved seeing the fish. It was hard to get good pictures inside because they don't allow flash photography.

Cheerio Overload

Just like many babies his age, Gavin loves Cheerios!! He loves any kind of Cheerios: multi-grain, honey nut, yogurt, but especially loves the fruity ones. As I was caring for Landon one morning last week, I heard Gavin starting to whine for more food. I asked Brayden to give Gavin a few more Cheerios.... well..... I guess it WAS a few more....
