Sutton's First Cereal

Since Sutton is becoming such a big boy (18lbs at 4 months), I thought maybe it was time to go ahead and start on some cereal. Formula is OUTRAGEOUS and he's already eating so much that I thought maybe giving him a little cereal would fill him up more.

Well, he wasn't a very happy camper during all this. He just wanted his darn bottle. I have trouble remembering things from a mere 6 years ago, when Raegan was this age. I believe with each year I grow older, I lose memory of another year when I was younger. Eventually, I'll only remember the present!! HA HA Anyway, back to Sutton. Poor baby was tortured by mommy because I just thought if I kept trying, he would eventually taste it & like it. I get the feeling he's going to be a "meat & potatoes only" kinda boy. So, after a few spoonfuls, I decided maybe it was a little too early for trying out the cereal and stuck the bottle in his mouth. Until next time!!

On a brighter note, I found a SUPER deal on a new Bumbo for my big boy and he sure enjoyed sitting in it and watching a Baby Einstein video. It may be my  new little helper because the newness of the baby has worn off and everyone scatters when I ask for help!!

Busy Halloween Weekend

We had a very busy & eventful Halloween weekend. First, Raegan had a Halloween party at school and we sent take-home treats for all the kids in her class. She was very proud of them and wanted to carry them by herself.

Then, Raegan & daddy spent some time carving pumpkins Friday night. She was the only big kid home, so she enjoyed that special one-on-one time. She's feeling neglected with the new baby.

They were pretty proud of their final products. Raegan was really excited to do it all by herself. Afterward, she & I baked cookies for our chicken & noodle dinner the next night.

Finally, we ended Halloween night by going trick-or-treating with everyone. Sutton, Mason, Raegan, Dayton & Kaelyn were all there. We stopped by Gma Goodwin's, Aunt Cindy's and Meme & Pop's houses and then went down 9th street.

The kids with Grandma Goodwin. They were all SO cute!!

We also ran into Aspen & Brittany who looked AWESOME as Thing 1 & Thing 2!!

Baby Sutton's 1st Halloween!!

First Timer

I decided to create a blog in an attempt to keep family & friends in the loop on what's going on in our lives. With the recent birth of our baby boy, Sutton, I haven't had the chance to visit with everyone as much as I'd like to, so I figure this is a way I can keep in touch with everyone. I haven't been taking near as many snapshots as I'd like to, so I'm hoping this blog will get me motivated to take more pictures of my family!! I hope all is well with everyone and please, check back regularly to find out what happens next in this beautifully chaotic family!!
