Pumpkins

Last night we decorated our pumpkins for Halloween. Brayden decided this year that he didn't want to carve jack-o-lanterns, but wanted to paint them. He assigned us each a pumpkin and told us what he wanted us to put on it- plus I had found a Mr. Potato Head pumpkin making kit that was a ninja, so we of course had to get that for one of them. On the left is Daddy's Ninja Pumpkin, the middle is Brayden's "creepy green guy" (he actually did most of the design and coloring, but Daddy came along and touched it up a bit), and then the little one on the right is Mommy's Ghost/Bat creation. Have I ever mentioned that I have zero artistic ability or talent?!?!

Brayden is getting excited about Halloween this year. Every year seems to just get more fun with him, and we have so many activities coming up (I am sure there will be lots of pictures in the next couple of weeks!!). The fun already starts tomorrow with a Halloween Party with the Mother's Group that we are in.

On a side note, here is a picture, from yesterday, of our littlest family member doing "tummy time" and discovering himself in the mirror. He has wonderful head control already, and really enjoys doing tummy time and sitting in his Bumbo. In the last couple of days he has started trying to pull his head up when he is laying on his back when we are holding him, or he is in his swing/bouncy seat, like he wants to sit up. He is just getting so big so fast!!

And I had to add this one.... just because. Check out those thighs!! No more chicken legs here!! He has gotten a new nickname around here lately- Brayden had been calling him "Brudder", which then morphed to "Bubba", and then shortend to "Bubby", and now the latest that his big brother has come up with.... "Chubby Bubby". (It fits!!)
