We love October!

The Pumpkin Patch, Halloween, football, perfect weather...what's not to love about fall? We are definitely excited that fall is finally here, we put up some fall decorations this weekend and I don't even think it got above 80 the entire weekend! We even went to the park and ate dinner and played the other night. We have lots to look forward to in the coming month - Maya and Chris are going camping next weekend, Chris' birthday on the 13th, Katelyn's baptism on the 24th and we will have some company for the occasion, and of course Halloween and all the fun kids activities that go along with it.
Maya and Katelyn are both doing great. Kate just had her 4 month checkup on the 1st. She weighs 16 lbs and is 26 inches. She's stayed right on track at the 90th percentile since she was born. I think in the next week or so I will see if she's interested in trying out rice cereal - she definitely watches intently when we are eating so she may be ready. She's been rolling over since she was 15 weeks old. We can't keep her on her back when she's playing and she rolls over in her crib and likes to sleeps on her tummy. She's definitely more active then I remember Maya being at this age. I have to strap her onto everything otherwise she will wiggle and kick and roll her way to freedom. Here are some new pics...
And this picture is for my family, I know my baby pictures well so I know that this picture could have been me when I was a baby!

Maya is still doing great. She has been learning like crazy already this year. She is the leader of the pack at her daycare, she knows all her letters and numbers so we help her practice writing them and sounding out words with her. She is also practicing cutting a straight line and cutting a circle. What a difference a year makes!

Chris and I are doing good as well. We're both busy at work as usual and exhausted every other part of the day. We had a really great date night when my mom was here over labor day and I hope we get to have another one in October. We went to dinner at a winery in Ft Worth and had a lot of fun. Also, Katelyn's daycare has 'parents night out' where she'll watch the kids once a month for an evening. So we took advantage of that last week and went to see a movie and stuff our faces with popcorn and candy :-)

Well the kids are in bed so I'm going to go park myself on the couch with a glass of wine and my hubby. I do have some new videos of the girls but I still need to get that put together. Until next time...hope everyone has a good week!
