Gingerbread houses, and Asher's first blog

Hello everybody, I'm Asher this is my first post.

Daddy is busy with school work and Mommy and Addilyn are coloring so I thought I'd sneak onto the computer and introduce myself to the blogosphere. The other day I helped Momma supervise both Addilyn and Daddy while they built gingerbread houses. Here are some pictures of their creations.

Addilyn's house

Here are the two creations together.

And again.

Addliyn is so proud of her creation.

Well there you have it. If you can figure out the story behind Daddy's then you'll win a free evening of babysitting me. Ready GO.

If Only He'd Slept This Well Last Night...

Dresses with Pants

What do you do when the weather gets too cold for a dress (or a dress gets too short)? Throw a pair of pants on under it and call it a shirt.

Here's how Addilyn has been rocking the dress with with pants look throughout the fall thus far.

Daddy Games

Addilyn and Daddy had some fun while Mommy was at work.

Asher

Here's an update on what Asher's been up to for the last few weeks:

Staring me down.

Chewing. Lots of chewing. He's working on his top front teeth (he already has one through).

Rocking an awesome Daddy do. We've gotten a little creative since we put cream/lotion on him and in his hair 2 or 3 times a day.

Look how skinny. Poor boy. He's still losing weight (a total of 14 oz in the past 3 months).

After all that fussing while we put the cream on him, he tends to be exhausted. Sleepy boy.

Happy boy.

Playful boy. He may not be all that interested in actually eating those peas or that rice rusk but he'll play with it.

Adventures with Addilyn

Playing in her fort.

She climbed back there all on her own.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone. Addilyn is ready to attack in her dragon/dinosaur costume.

Showing off her tail (and jumping on her bed).

Asher's first costume of the day. I saw this costume at Target when I was pregnant with Addilyn and loved it but she was too big for it for her first Halloween. Then when I was pregnant with Asher I found it on sale and bought it. It fits him (although he's just a little long for it) but he really wasn't digging the fact that his feet weren't free. So cute though, right?

This was Addilyn's contribution to her costume was the frog. It was her "dinosaur baby."

Costume attempt #2: the monkey we used for Addilyn's first Halloween. He looks pretty cute and oh so cuddly.

Can anyone guess what Tyler is?

We went to the PIM fall festival on campus. Addilyn thoroughly enjoyed the cookie she helped decorate. She wasn't really digging the hat so we ditched it and just stuck with the tiara.

No problems though. The hat and gloves found a home on someone else.

The princess and the princess dragon.

Asher thoroughly enjoyed chewing on a Heath bar. Hard candy covered in crinkly wrapping equals a baby's favorite teething toy. Who knew?
