Milestones

The two boys in my life hit some important milestones last week.... I feel like I should do something for the first time... hmmmmm..... I can pick up objects with my toes while holding a heavy baby, talking on the phone, and folding laundry. Does that count?
Silas can sit up in his stroller now. (I think he was ready a while ago, but I just loved looking at him when I ran. He pushed me to keep going!)
All he needs is a tag or something to chew, and he's good to go. He LOVES looking at all the trees and leaves blowing. I wonder where he gets that from?
Great way to keep him occupied while I finish drying my hair.
It's funny though, he kind of just pets his animals when they are all together like this. It's like he's at the zoo and he sees an "animals will bite" sign.
We love our Thursday sitter!  Thanks for coming over to play Evie and Miss Caitlyn.
Matthew turned 30 on Halloween. He said he felt old, as we stayed home and passed out candy. Who wouldn't want to do that on their birthday?
I think this was his favorite thing from his milestone birthday.
We had a little GA/FL birthday party. It was the most guests our house has seen yet. Go Dawgs!
Everyone kept asking what I was dressing up Silas as for Halloween. I guess I'm a bad mom cause I just put him in his Trick or Treat and Pumpkin "onsies". I mean I already put him in an actual pumpkin. Doesn't that count?
He didn't seem to mind. Although I'm sure I'll hear about it when he's a teenager... "geez mom you are so lazy, why didn't you dress me up for Halloween?" Cause I can't sew! I stink.

Happy 30th Matthew. I love you!  Happy first Halloween Silas.  I love you!  Happy Fall everyone! I love it!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew
