Thanksgiving Vacation

We went to Rexburg for Thanksgiving Vacation, it was weird seeing snow there when there isn't any in Boise yet. We had a great time visiting family and a miracle happened--Bennett learned how to crawl! I can't believe it! I never thought it would happen. It happened the day before Thanksgiving, I was reading a New Era magazine and he was reaching out for it. I just moved it out of his way, and kept having to, then I realized he was actually crawling! It was so exciting!

He also seemed to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner as well, he especially loved the rolls and yams too, but didn't care much for the turkey. I think it was just because he only has 2 teeth still and it can be hard to chew. He tried some of my family's pistachio pudding pie and seemed to like it too. So the tradition lives on!

In his Thanksgiving Onesie, his cousin wore a matching one

Big Talker

Bennett is such a big talker! Here's just a taste of it. Sometimes we can't hear ourselves talking over him! Still, what a happy little boy. :)

November Pictures and Video

Check out our little Tummy Sleeper! Who would have ever thought huh?

Bennett is doing very well. He's seems to be past his "wake up at 2am and scream for 3 hours til I fall back asleep" phase and back to sleeping through the night. He also tends to sleep on his stomach too, how ironic since he used to hate being on his stomach even a few months ago! I guess lots of things change over time. We'll be leaving for Rexburg to spend Thanksgiving with Andrew's family. We look forward to it! We'll be sure to take lots of pictures and we'll post them when we come back!

Some new pictures

Our Halloween pumpkin this year -- the Headless Horseman

Here are just some random pictures I took a long time to upload. The night before Halloween we went to our ward's party. It was pretty fun and cool to see all the creative costumes this year. There was a tin man made out of tin-foil, a couple from Rexburg who dressed as a windy day (glued leaves on their clothes, the guy had his tie starched up, an umbrella blown backwards, it was great!), and lots of other fun costumes! We didn't stay long because Bennett got really fussy again. Since then he's been teething still and has become moodier than a girl on her period! We also got a fun package from my family with toys and games for all of us, and also a high chair from Andrew's family. Bennett seems to like it all right, loves drumming on that too. ;)

Bennett's Halloween Costume

Grandma Hayes wanted to buy Bennett a costume for Halloween this year and here it is! Its a spider and its cute! This is one I definitely wouldn't squish! ;)

Just another update

Caught snuggling with The Cat in the Hat right before bed

Reminds me of those "Get Caught Reading" posters ;)

Some random video clips we never got around to posting. Enjoy!

Big Boy Bennett

Bennett is 10 mths now and doing very well! He is much more vocal and his favorite noise is his "shivery giggle." I managed to capture it on camera! Its at around 14 seconds. Makes him sound like a little villain! He also has 2 bottom teeth just barely poking through! So exciting! After all of his teething we're seeing the result!

I wanted to capture his bedtime "Heel Stomp." He used to do it in the Pack n' Play, but now he loves to do it now because he bounces! The music playing is the Beatles Piano-style accompanied by nature sounds. We like to change the music every now and again and this is what happened to be playing. Bennett's feet really aren't that big, I thought I should mention...its just his sleeper.

Drinking sideways?!

You know he's tired when he does this! He won't do it any other time.
