A preview of the kids halloween costumes...

Archer's second tooth!

Archer's second tooth broke through on Wednesday, October 20th, which was just a few days after his first tooth. We were able to capture a picture of his teeth yesterday. If you look close, you can see his bottom two teeth through that amazing smile. :)

Avie catches a frog

When we are out at the park the other day, Avalon and Jarad found a frog. Jarad caught the frog for her and gave it to her one time. After that Avalon wanted the frog again, so we made her catch it herself. Which she was able to do twice when the frog climbed the side of the play house. She was so excited! And she has even talked about wanting to find the frog again when we were playing in that same area. Here are some cute pics from her adventure.




This is a picture of her right before she caught the frog, which is on the side of this play house.

Archer's first tooth!

Archer's first tooth broke through this past Sunday, October 17th. He has been chewing on everything in sight since before he was 4 months old, so we weren't too surprised to see that first tooth. Since it just broke through, we don't have any good pictures yet. So I've included a couple of cute pictures of Archie smiling! When he is not hungry or tired, he is a pretty happy baby.

Upate - Archie rolls over

We managed to catch a video of Archer rolling over from back to front. As of Tuesday October 5th, he has started to roll over from back to front all the time now. And he is getting quicker at it too. Good job Archie!

It does take Archer a little while to roll over in this video, but the end result is worth watching. What a smile! :)

Avalon playing the drums

Avalon's cousin Corbin (who is 7) has a drum set and Avalon got the chance to try it out. She had a pretty good time playing the drums! Check out this video. Also, take note of the stickers on her legs. She still LOVES sticker! :)

Avalon's First Carousel Ride

Avalon took her first ride on a Carousel at the Red River Zoo (in Fargo, ND) and she had a blast! We asked her if she wanted to ride a horse and she said yes. But as soon as I put her on the horse, she decided she didn't want to ride it. So we walked around the Carousel a bit and then she decided on the bench and she had a great time. Check out these self photos that Camille took while on the ride with her. It was so much fun!! :)

Scooter ride

We bought Avalon a used scooter at a garage sale last spring. Now that we have returned from our trip back to MN for the summer, Avalon is big enough to use it and she is getting pretty good at it too. Check out these videos.





And a couple more pics too...




She even got to try out her Uncle Grant's old scooter while we were back in MN. Mommy (Camille) had the same one in blue.

Milestone - Archie rolls over!

Archie rolled over for the first time from front to back on September 16th, 2010. As I recently posted, Archie was not a big fan of tummy time until just recently and now he can roll over. However, he still doesn't do it that often, but we were able to capture it on video. Way to go Archie!

Archer also rolled over from back to front on that same day (Sept. 16th), but we have yet to capture it on video as he has only done it about 3 times since then.
