September Highlights

What happens when Daddy's home alone with the boys?

Often a fort appears in the living room!

 The boys both love to play with each other!:)

 Hawkeye Dudes!

Some friends join us in watching the ISU game two weeks ago. 

My camera battery was low so I was only able to snap a few pics.

Thanks to the Stecklys, Hockers, Cheneys, Sutfins, Kirbys, and Jepsons we had a fun-filled afternoon with kiddos! (The game wasn't much to watch!)

 Cael Steckly and Carson had a picnic lunch in the kitchen!

Maybe a touchdown dance?

 Our boys' new second cousin, Kayla LaNay Sutfin.

Daughter of Thomas (Ben's cousin) and Sharelle Sutfin.

 Only 2 wks old at her 1st Hawkeye Party!:)

What a sweetie!

 Mandy getting her "baby fix" with Brady and helper Kendall Jepson.

 Winding down after the big day with milk and "turtles."

Carson's new obsession: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Cursed by the $5 DVD bin, I thought maybe he'd like it. That one was a very annoying cartoon one, which Carson instantly fell in love with, but then

Ben picked up a couple different ones (I, II, III).

Now, turles in the morning, turtles after school, turtles all weekend!

He only watches parts, but DO NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL without being prepared to handle a major meltdown!

****************************************************

 CHEESE!

Brady can now share Carson's morning cereal (after a little soggy)!!

NO TEETH still!!

We're on high alert, swearing that EVERY TOMORROW will bring a tooth!

 On the move...

Brady can spin and roll, but no true crawling yet.

He can go into a full plank push-up position, into a crawl position, then belly flops. 

Usually followed by getting mad and head butting/nose bashing into the floor and crying.

He wants to crawl SO bad!!

Need to step up the babyproofing this weekend!

Cousin Ella helping B get his paci back. 

Her dog, Beena, looks tempted to snag it!

We had a fun weekend last weekend with Papa and Nana Swanson, Uncle Bob, Aunt Julie, Ella, and my Uncle Steve & Aunt Jane from St. Louis visiting. 

We celebrated Nana's birthday early with family time and lunch.

Ella's growing up so fast!

New baby Swanson cousin #2 will be here December 13th!:)
