9 Month Stats

Today Bradyn went in for his 9 month check up and he is a healthy, active and growing boy!! Here are his stats:

Weight: 22 lbs = 75%
Length: 29 in. = 75%

He definitely is a solid little boy but he's starting to slim down a little bit since he's been crawling and now pulling himself up on anything and everything he can reach!

Tonight we went to the Halloween party - Bradyn's very first one! Even 3 week old Caleb joined in the fun and dressed up as a pumpkin - isn't he just adorable. Abby was Mickey Mouse and Bradyn was a skunk (he call him our little stinker). Unfortunately this is the best picture I got of the two of them together. Bradyn wasn't to thrilled about wearing the hat part of it and he was getting hot so it was really hard to get a picture of him happy. (he's missing the tail which attaches to the back of him and is about the same size of him too!) I'll make sure to get a picture on Halloween night with him wearing the full outfit. There also was a costume competion for the kids and adults and Bradyn won 1st place!!!

Pumpkin Carving

Friday night we had our annual pumpkin carving night. A bunch of us get together and carve as many pumpkins as we can. We use designs out of books and punch the patterns out and then carefully cut everything away. It's a very long process but the pumpkins look awesome when we're done. Then at our Halloween party on Saturday we line the pumpkins up outside to make a trail leading from the barn to the bonfire, it's a really neat lighted pathway and everyone enjoys taking a look at our creations!!

Fall Pictures

This past Saturday we decided to take the boys down to the Holland Fish and Game Club to have some fall pictures taken. It's not easy getting them all to sit together, look towards the camera and smile all at the same time. We did manage to get a few good ones!! Below is Bradyn, cousin Tyler and cousin Alex!!


Oh yeah....I have to add that Bradyn finally got his first tooth, it popped through on Sunday!!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations to Zack & Amy with the birth of their new son Caleb!!


Brandon and Bradyn went to go see Caleb tonight...I have a cold so I couldn't go and am very jealous he got to see him first...of course I made sure to send the camera with so I could at least see some pictures. He looks adorable and I can't wait to see him. Below is a picture of Mommy and Baby!! Only 8 months ago Bradyn was that little, seems like forever ago, how fast they grow!

Zeeland Pumpkinfest Parade

On Saturday we went to the Zeeland Pumpkinfest Parade and Bradyn had so much fun. He was so happy to be outside and was just talking up a storm to anyone who would listen! He sat on Grandma's lap for awhile so he could see up close all of the activity going down the street. (I think Grandma was just using him to get candy!!) We even got to see Brandon's cousin Kelli Meeuwsen and her little guy Carter on the Zeeland Farm Services float.

Rainbow

This morning the sun was shining just for a few minutes and I just knew there had to be a rainbow out there and this is what I found. It was a lot brighter but by the time I got my camera and got outside it was quickly fading away.
