October I

Perry is starting to get around on the ground. He loves the freedom and his brothers are learning to pick up after themselves.

He still loves the bouncer, though.

Sleeping in the car. I loved that his hand was holding the side of the carseat.

Another fun Jonah sleep position. At least it was mostly on the carpet, not all hard wood.

 We were doing a puzzle together and Jonah was holding a piece with Buzz on it and dropped it. I asked Scott to go over to help him get it out of the couch and he said, "Oh, Jonah! This is why children don't play with those!"

Scott is not usually responsive to Jonah hugs, so I caught this one on camera.

I took Perry in for 6 month vaccines and he didn't even cry until the 3rd one, then he calmed down quickly for me. He took a long nap to sleep it off when we got home.

 It's like one of them is leeching the energy from the other.

 Getting a new perspective watching conference.

Perry enjoyed being held all day while we watched conference.

Scott colored most of the morning because Grandma has color pencils instead of crayons.

Oxymoron outfit.

Jonah's underwear was so baggy, but he insisted it was his. Finally John convinced him to let him check and it was Scott's.

Big boy devouring some peaches. He really prefers fresh fruit over jarred. Food snob at 6 months old.

Chubby chins!

He's starting to enjoy a few minutes of park interaction.

Working on his climbing skills

We watched our friends' kids for a weekend. There were 7 boys, 2 girls (one not pictured). We had a Friday night movie.

 That day, October 7th, Perry's first tooth broke through. He's been drooling and chewing more, but his sleeping hasn't been too disrupted yet. Knock on wood.

He found the cutest baby in the mirror at their house.

When Jonah likes a dinner, he two-hands it.

The big boys tend to dress similarly. The more matching they all are, the happier it makes Scott. They dressed themselves this day and I loved Jonah's backwards shirt.

Our first van wash. They all loved it.

Sweet, happy baby. He is loving toys now.

Chewing his hat strap on the swings.

Piling the kids on the teeter totter.

Trying to show Perry's second tooth that was breaking through, but his tongue stays over it.

 We picked up gnocchi at Costco and made it that night. I hadn't said the name more than the one time at the store. Scott asked for more pinocchio at dinner.

Jonah copied him and the rest of the night they kept calling it that.

Sleepy boy passed out at church during Scott's primary program dress rehearsal. 

After practice pizza party. I love Jonah's sweet face as he looks at his big brother.

Each child colored a program to pass out the next day. This was Scott's sun. 

It says Scott 4.
