Happy Halloween! I'm not a huge fan of Halloween, but happy Em is super excited so that makes me a little more excited this year! 

Fun weekend going to Em's dance class (first time parents got to watch!), carving pumpkins and just hanging out. 

Jordan had his 6 month doctor's appointment, up to 14lbs 5oz and 25.5 inches! He is doing great! He also had a neurosurgeon appointment and head ultrasound-still the miracle baby as things have continued to improve. Everyone seems fairly confident that he will be able to "catch up" by a year. He is already doing mostly what a typical 6 month old would do-rolling both ways, babbling, smiling and has starting eating solids. He likes carrots, squash, sweet potatoes and apples. Dislikes bananas and peaches.

Em is still so in love with her brother. She was holding him this morning and started to tear up, I said "Em, what's wrong" and she said "I just love him so much". Heart officially melted!

Another jam packed week and weekend! Em kicked the weekend off with a trip to the Dr. (she has an ear infection, surprise, surprise) and then we had dance and a birthday part to go to on Saturday. Sunday we pretty much just lounged around (and by lounged around I mean attempted to entertain a 4 year old and baby while running around getting laundry, cleaning and grocery shopping done...).  Jords is officially 6 months old-his dr. appointment is on Wednesday so I'll have the new stats then! Jordan has now tried sweet potatoes, carrots, apples, bananas and pears. His favorites are carrots and apples. He is doing great with solids so far!

 what a difference! About 1 month old to about 6 months old~ 
I'm excited the Indians won...Jords is kind of whatever about the whole thing!

What a beautiful weekend! Can't help but love this October weather! We got to spend lots of time outside having fun! Oh, and doing 9 loads of laundry (and it is still not done...guess I got a little bit behind!)

Em is enjoying dance way more and still loving school! Jords had a Dr.'s appointment and is up to 13lbs 8oz and 24 inches! He also has perfected rolling belly to back AND back to belly! The Dr.'s seem very pleased with his progress so far! We've noticed he is using his right hand more than his left (the brain bleed is on the right side so would affect his left) so we are keeping on eye on it. But overall, they are super impressed with his progress! This weekend Em had him laughing so hard by spelling the word CAT over and over again. It was so cute! Love them both to the moon and back!

Enjoy the pics!

 Love this little boy! 
 Selfies!

A fun packed family weekend! Got to enjoy lots of time with family and friends this weekend. We even got to see Ray, Jill, Connor and Ryan! Em was a little out of sorts during the trip, but we still had a good time! And they got to meet Jords for the first time! Also, it is super crazy that about a year ago I found out that I was pregnant with Jords! Wow, it has been a year! Happy Monday!

 To bad Em was playing in the corn with Gma! An almost complete picture!

Such a happy boy!
 Enjoying some ice cream! 
 Yum!
 cuties!
 This kid!
 Love!

Got to enjoy some of the beautiful weather this weekend! Went pumpkin picking-Em tried cotton candy for the first time (she said she liked it but quickly switched to cheesy popcorn). Jordan is just about rolling over from his back to his belly-he gets stuck on his side and has not figured out that he needs to move his other arm-but he'll get the hang of it! Overall, a fun weekend with the fam! 

 I guess I should not be a photographer...

 Sillies! 
 me and my little man! 
 This is how close we are to rolling over from front to back! 
 Daddy painting nails! 
Friday night parenting win! A cherry martini and frozen.

A weekend of Jordan! Celebrating the little guy turning 8!! Can't believe it!
