Kieran at 15 months

October was an eventful month for Kieran!

The highlights...Kieran is walking everywhere now and quite proud of himself. He met Mickey and the rest of the Disney crew for the first time. He was okay with the characters if they kept their distance. Had his first haircut and loves his new shoes. Signing and saying more words. "Mmmmm" while hearing me order food in the drive-thru. Now that he's walking, he likes to practice his soccer skills. Favorite book is Goodnight Moon. Has 8 teeth now and is still a little peanut, weighing less than 20 pounds at his check-up.

Fall Fun

We had a very busy October, enjoying lots of fun fall events.  We also took a fantastic trip to Disney World, but I'll save those photos for another post (soon!).

At the Auburn corn maze with Ali, Brady, and their mom

Our very sweet Hulk (Caden & Cole got to pick Kieran's costume this year.)




Kieran's seat for our trick-or-treating adventure--He tagged along for half of the journey, and then Mommy dropped him off at home to help Daddy pass out candy.




The cul-de-sac crew




Caden bobbing for apples (and not having much luck due to missing teeth) at our neighbor's post-trick-or-treating get-together




Sophia's turn, but she had as much luck as Caden.




Cole has all of his teeth and figured out the trick (grabbing the stem), so he was the first to experience success.



Back at home to count and sort their candy

Other fall events...a visit to the pumpkin patch, Caden's first time as acolyte at church, Church Mice for Kieran, Cardinals playoff game for Curt and Caden, World Series game for Curt, Skippyjon Jones play for Cole and Kieran, Halloween story time at the library, Caden's classroom fall party, Cherry Hills Fall Festival, haunted hayride for Caden, and a trip to Illinois Wesleyan to watch Chatham Glenwood's football team in the playoffs.  It has been a very FUN (and fast) fall!
