What a Difference a Month Makes...

I have received some feedback that with all the vacation and holiday updates I have not posted many updated pictures of the little ones. It is amazing to see how much Little Ax has grown over the past month. He has went from barely sitting up to crawling ALL over the place, including stairs. And Little Man is very eager to help in anyway possible, I love his brotherly love. Here's a picture of Little Man and Ax's first bath together. Ax was not quite sure what was happening and Little Man had to resist soaking Ax with every muscle he had....

Ax didn't seem to just sit for very long, he is constantly watching Little Man and really desiring to do everything he does. I just don't think he's old enough to be mobile, he's way to little. But how can I stop such a happy face???

And then there's the crib. I resisted lowering the crib until I walked in one day and he was almost hurdling the side. Big Man promptly lowered it and I came in to get him from his nap and found this unhappy boy... well, not exactly.

I am convinced that having two boys will force me to begin cooking or at least start going to the grocery store more often, because they already eat A LOT!!! Ax will eat baby food, but would much rather feed himself, however with only one tooth the options for solid food are limited; so Little Man decided to help him eat.....and I must note that I didn't have to tell Little Man to wipe Ax's mouth, he did that all by himself (another phrase I hear alot these days). I love my boys :)

Another milestone that Ax has reached was the appearance of his first tooth. Another one is poking through, but if you look closely at One-Tooth Jackson, you will see the little pearly white.

Last, but certainly not least are the boys showing off their Clemson Pride. I don't really keep up with football, but I know this has not been the Tigers season. However, with fans like these how can you not be excited to see Clemson play?

Halloween at Last

For Halloween we went over to enjoy the 3rd Annual Halloween Extravaganza... and here's some additional snapshots to add to the fun night and Halloween season... I think this looks like a perfect arranged marriage :)


We went to Kate's fall festival and Little Man decided to dress up as Tow Mater... however, he is going through this phase of covering his face or doing ugly faces anytime the camera comes out.. Somehow I managed to snap an in between shot...
But I only had that luck once.....


Last, but not least was carving pumpkins... some friends came over to join in the fun of carving and then the boys had a pumpkin fight... unfortunately I was inside when that took place.

To celebrate the lovely carving jobs we had Popsicles for dessert and can you tell which color Squish liked the best... his ENTIRE mouth inside and out was glowing orange....And one last picture of my little pumpkin :)
