For the Record Books

Forgot to mention this funny moment from our MI trip back in August.

Eric's Nana was saying goodnight to the kids. Naturally, she said, "Sleep tight. Don't let the bed bugs bite!"

Timothy responded, "Don't scare me!"

LOL!!

Bike the Ridge

Bike the Ridge was a hit for our pro balance bike rider.

Museum and Zoo

If you are ever in Chicago, you should check out if any museums are free! Great way to enjoy the city but not have to spend too much money to take the family there. And if not, the Lincoln Park Zoo is always free.

Here are some pictures from the Museum of Science and Industry and the Zoo:

2nd Annual Train Ride

Grandma and Grandpa Hufford's street has a yearly party with a motorized train. Timothy recently saw these pictures and couldn't stop talking about when he'd ride the train this year. 

From Last Year: 

Weeks before his second time on the train, he talked about how he was going to ride on the blue train after vacation. Once he told me he didn't want to go on vacation but would rather ride on the train. And every bit of the train lived up to his expectations. This year, they even let him ride the tain alone! 

Tim is saying, "woo woo," as he passes by. 

Riding alone with his cousin!!

Cayden 4mo!

Am I allowed to call my baby boy a doll? 'Cause he's just the sweetest little thing going on right now! Still such a bright spot to my good and bad days. Give him just a smile or sweet words, and he'll charm the pants off of you. :) His laughter is contagious - lately he just laughs and laughs when we "fly" him through the air.

Each day he's getting better at moving around and grasping for items. Today, he almost ripped my lunch plate off the table and Tim was teaching him how to "text" on his play phone. (oh dear...) I'm not long for the "I can't leave you on a blanket anymore" world 'cause he just wants to GO! He's even trying to pull his knees up under his bottom! (what?!) And I used to think he was a chatter box; no no no, NOW he's a chatter box. I can imitate sounds he's making and he just keeps "yelling" with me.

Down to the 4mo specks: 

*Weight: 16lbs 0.8oz

*Length: 26.5"

His length is getting ready to push him into 6-9mo clothes if the feet are enclosed, and his weight is getting ready to pull him out of the 15lb fuzzi bunz we have been using.

And for the most important part: pictures!
