Last weekend (or was is the week before??) my nephew had his Halloween birthday party!
My sister, April, did a FABulous job decorating and preparing for the party!
I can’t believe he is already 8!
His party was also a dress-up party! Enter the cutest little lamb you ever saw…..
A fairy princess…
Ben 10…
We also got to BOUNCE!
And blow out candles…
And PLAY!!!!!!!!!!
Needless to say, we took a long nap after THAT party! But it was so much fun!
I am so behind with my blogging! But when I actually have time to sit down and blog, all I want to do is sleep!
So my nephew, Peyton, has always called me “Alson”. I assumed he just couldn’t say “Allison” yet and that he would figure it out eventually.
Yesterday he was drawing pictures for me and writing his name. Being the fabulous 1st grade student that he is, I knew he could probably spell my name, too. So I asked him to. He wrote “ALSON” and looked up at me for my approval. I said, “Well, that’s close, but you are missing an L and an I.” I wrote it for him and he looked at me with shock in his eyes and said, “Your name is ALLISON??? I always thought it was Alson!!”
I love him!
Ok so tonight (I hope) I plan on catching up with posts on Griffin’s (my other nephew) 8th birthday party and Noah’s first haircut!! Yay!
We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday with my sister and her family. Noah wasn’t too sure about all the animals and it was getting close to nap time, but overall I think he had fun. I can’t wait to continue this new tradition with our little family!
Get ready for a picture OVERLOAD!!
I see pumpkin carving in our near future! Happy Fall Yall!
It’s getting more and more difficult to make Noah sit still long enough to snap his picture! You can see one of his little vampire teeth in the picture above.
Noah has changed SO much in the past month! He is growing up SO FAST!
Here is what Noah has been up to this month:
He is changing so much every day. I miss him so much when he’s at school! I’m working on not running to him every time he lets out a whimper. Daddy thinks I’m making him a sissy! So I’m working on it.
Noah, Mommy and Daddy love you so much! You are the best thing in our lives and we look forward to watching you grow more and more (just not too fast, ok?).
Thursday night we left town and headed south to Gulf Shores to the annual Shrimp Festival!
(My pictures are not the greatest…I forgot my camera, so these are courtesy of the iPhone!)
We got in late Thursday night and were woken up VERY early Friday morning by little Brad! So we went to Duck’s to eat breakfast!
And THEN we went to the festival! Unfortunately, it was like 90 degrees (at 9:30am in October….what the crap!) and it didn’t take long for Noah’s eczema to break out. So we waited in the car for Daddy and Uncle Brian to finish shopping.
Then we ate lunch at Sea-n-Suds (YUMMO!) and headed back home!
We can’t miss Griffin’s birthday party tomorrow!
Just yesterday I was reading a friend’s blog about her 8 month old pulling up. Noah will be 8 month’s old on Saturday and I thought “Oh no! He doesn’t know how to pull up yet! He’s falling behind!”
This morning, we got a little carried away with breakfast so I took off his pajamas in the kitchen and sat his naked self in his crib while I decided what he was going to wear for the day.
I decided on a cute little outfit, then turned around to see this…
He just looked up at me like it was no big deal and that he did it all the time!! I jumped and squealed and yayed for him! He was so proud!
Did I mention that we now have FIVE teeth?!? He was up allll night Saturday night, then Sunday morning I saw his bright shiny new front tooth!
He’s growing up too fast!!
