On the Go...

Well, I've been slacking on my posts and I had a few things I needed to put on here before the Halloween pictures tomorrow. First, Boston is 9 months old!! We went to the doctor on Monday...his stats are: 22 lbs. 3oz. (76%), 29 in. (73%). His doctor was very suprised that he is still going up in the weight percentile. I guess after 6 months they normally go down, so he would have expected Boston to be around 50%. I told him that the 70's are low numbers comapred to Hudson though. He's doing everything right now that he should be, and his first tooth is all the way in (the picture above was my attempt at getting a picture of it, but no luck!). When his doctor asked if he was crawling yet, I had to tell him no. He was turning in circles and getting up on his hands and knees, but no forward movement. So, we get home and later that same night....he crawled.
So, now he's wandering into the kitchen and slowly following Hudson and I wherever we go.

I did take some video of him crawling this morning, so I'll have to figure out how to get that on here next.

It's funny because somtimes he gets up on his hands and feet and does a bear crawl. This picture is him doing that, but it just kind of looks like he is doing push-ups!

Pumpkins

We deicded to carve and paint pumpkins a couple weeks ago...I'm just late at posting the pictures!

Talen did the gutting of the pumpkins and I poked the holes for him to follow the pattern and actually carve them.
Hudson got to paint his and Boston's pumpkins. He loved it, but had to stop to pose for the picture.

Hopefully you can tell what they are. New York Yankees for Talen and Hudson, and Boston Red Sox for me and Boston.

Can you guess who decided the theme for our pumpkins this year?

Tagged!!

Well, I was tagged by Shaunelle and I had to go to 'my pictures' and tell about the 5th picture in my second folder. This picture is quite fitting for this time of year. It was the beginning of October in 2005. I remember this hunting trip well because it is really the only one I've gone on with Talen...and because that same weekend we found out we were pregnant with Hudson! I was with Talen on the fourwheeler when a bunch of turkeys were walking by the side of the road. Talen wanted to get a big tom, but I think I encouraged him to just shoot any of them. After he shot this one, he made me hold it on the way back to camp. It was gross and I got blood all over my pants! Too bad I wasn't asked for the 6th picture because it is of me holding the turkey(which Talen insisted on)...and you can tell I wasn't thrilled! Fun times!

Now I will tag Brandy, Jackie, Michelle, and Jess. Go to your 'my pictures' folder and tell about the 4th picture in your 4th folder! Have fun!!

Cute Boy!

Okay, so these are a couple weeks old, but I figured I would post them anyway. I took Boston to Kiddie Kandids for his 8 month pictures and he did so good. It took us a total of about 10 minutes to take the pictures...the photographer was very impressed. I'm glad I took him in when I did because we' ve had a rough couple weeks since. Hudson and Boston went through a case of the good old hand-foot-mouth disease:( It didn't hardly phase Hudson, but Boston was another story. He was absolutely miserable. I felt so bad for him. Well, the day after he started feeling better, I woke up with a terrible tooth ache. I went in to my dentist office and ended up having a partial root canal. Supposedly that was supposed to stop the pain, but it just got worse and worse (that was my conference weekend...super fun). So, Monday morning I went back to the dentist, and he figured out it was a lot worse than just needing a root canal. I did get a root canal, but I also had to have some surgery above the tooth next to that one. It was a bad experience. Now I have a whole bunch of stitches in my gums and my face is just starting to look normal again...I was really swollen. And to top it all off...all of this happened while Talen was on call, and he was gone a lot. I'm just hoping this is the end of our bad luck and we can start to get back to our normal lives. Oh, wait...never mind...I forgot that Boston is just starting to get his first tooth and he is not a happy camper. I guess that's just how it goes!!
