Picture Bloopers

I love to get pictures on Sundays when everyone is dressed with their hair fixed and not in a huge rush...some Sundays go better than others. We'll just say that I doubt any of these will make a picture frame around here. 

Halloween 2015

I'm so glad I got some pictures last Sunday, because tonight was just impossible...

We ran to our close by neighbors to trick or treat during a break in the rain. 

Then we hopped in the truck to make the rest of our neighborhood rounds. Once Bennett realized he could get behind the wheel, he was done trick or treating. Avery Claire hit up the remaining houses by herself. 

She enjoyed being at home and handing out candy to trick or treaters more than she enjoyed the actual trick or treating, I think! 

And we all loved a night in, doing absolutely nothing! 

Look at my babies last year!!

Little Mama to her Little Brother

Avery Claire loves a "project." Looks like that foam Halloween house may have been a little more complicated than she bargained for.

If you've been around us over the past year, you know that becoming a big sister has been a big adjustment for Avery Claire. She loves Bennett, but jealousy has reared its ugly head in a big way. Over the last month, there's been such a huge change. She's always been helpful, as in running to grab a diaper or a wipe or picking up something, etc...but she's become such a little mama lately, actually taking care of him. It's very sweet, and very heartwarming. And a lot relieving to her mama and daddy! 

Bennett's One Year Well Check

Bennett had his one year well check today. I absolutely hate this visit - I've read the research, I know what it says now...but it's so scary to give your baby those shots. 

His official 12 month stats:

weight: 22 lbs, 8 oz (75th percentile)

height: 31.25 inches (90th percentile)

head circumference: 18.25 inches (50th perentile)

He was a wild man, all over that room. Whew, he's a busy, busy boy!!
