Family Pictures

A couple of weekends ago we went out and had our annual family pictures done by Wend (http://gigglengrin.blogspot.com). She took our pictures last year when I was pregnant with Grayson so she was excited to take our pictures this year with a 9 month old.

Grayson 9 months old

Grayson is 9 months old. Hard to believe. It seems like this past month has really flown by. He's continuing to grow...though not as fast as expected. He's only about 19 lbs and in the 35% for height and weight. No surprise that he's in the 95% for head size (Jackson was always in the 90s for head size!). He's still just army crawling though he's trying to get up on all fours. He has just started to push himself up to go from his belly to sitting upright. He can say "DaDa", "MaMa", "BaBa", and "NaNa". He's started waving and continues to smile and laugh at everyone. He's one social baby.

Halloween

This was the first year Jackson had any type of understanding about dressing up for Halloween and going trick-or-treating. He is really into candy so the thought of going around and having people give him candy was really appealing.

We had a few friends over so Michael went with Jackson and one of our friends older girls to take Jackson trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. There were several houses with lights on so Jackson got pretty good at ringing the doorbell and saying, "Trick or Treat" although it took him a few houses to learn to wait until the people came to the door to say his phrase. We are the one of the only houses in our little group of homes who has little ones so Jackson is the hit of the neighborhood. We even had some reverse trick or treating...some of our neighbors brought gifts to our door for Jackson!
