Halloween and Oakleigh 7 months

Halloween was so much fun this year and we decided to have a little football player and a football! The best part is when you ask Jackson what he was he still says a piggy and this is 2 months later. It took a bit to find things that fit both of them and a special Aunt who made Oakleigh's hat, thanks Aunt Taylor but they were adorable! 

 The girls!

 My little peanuts!

 Love these!

  

 We went with our neighbors trick or treating and had a blast. Jackson loved going to the doors and getting candy. He tried to eat every piece as soon as he walked away but loved every minute of it. Oakleigh was along for the ride but did great in her stroller. We also had a cooler which made the night even better! 

This is one of my favorite pictures of Oakleigh so far. Those dimples!

Post trick-or-treating popsicle!

 With Daddy so it was a great night...

 This was a fun Sunday we went to Peoria to go to Bass Pro and the Burger Barge!

 Practicing for Halloween!

 Now if she finds a sippy on the floor she drinks out of it! She is going to be really easy to transition from bottles. She loves to get them with almond milk or apple juice. She can hold it like a champ too!

 The combination of the big bow, tattoo tights, and a onesie that Jackson wore first was just too cute. She is finally out of the baby baby stage and loves to be with the big kids and get into everything. She is really pulling on things and trying to pull herself up. Slow down baby girl!

This is a special picture to me because it is Jackson with blanket and bunny. These are his two favorite things but they don't leave our house so they don't get lost. He loves to lay on the couch with them and snuggle!

Last Few trips to Rader's

We had a lot of fun at Rader's this year and next year Oakleigh will be on the go as well. We got to go one weekend with Clayton and Sawyer and then headed to Rader's for a birthday party for one of Jackson's friends. The train and the animals were the hit of the farm this year! 

 Jackson just wanted to see where the train went. No pictures wanted!

This carrier has been a god sent to keep Oakleigh moving with the rest of us. I love wearing it and she is happy in it most of the time!

 Of the piggies and the rabbits. He loves both of them so much!

 Jackson and his buddy from daycare Morgan!

Oakleigh 6 months Old

How this little girl is already 6 months old is beyond me. She is a sweet little girl who loves to watch everyone in the room. Don't leave her alone because she will just follow you or if she is in her jump-a-roo she will cry until you come back. She is wearing 6 months clothes mostly but can still fit into some 3 month outfits. She is still tiny but it is because she is a mover and a shaker. She has completely mastered sitting up and has 5 teeth with another one on the way. 

I took about 100 pictures and here are some really funny ones. That little face just kills me!

 In theory these stickers were a good idea but no matter where I put them she just pulls them off and puts them in her mouth!

Jackson loves to be a part of the action. He was trying to get Oakleigh to say Cheese!!

More Fall Full

This time of year has gone by way too fast. We have really been enjoying the nice weather and being outside as much as possible. Oakleigh is into everything and has been doing really well with solids. Jackson keeps a close on her and likes to let us know what she is doing at all time. 

 I am going to be sad when it gets cold and we can't go to the park as much as we would like to! I will just say I hope spring comes quickly!

Gator!

We bought Jackson this gator for his birthday but I think I bought it in like May. It has been sitting in the garage untouched since then because he didn't want to sit on it or have anything to do with it. I have asked him almost everyday and he always says, "No gator, mommy!" I  This kid is a popsicle fanatic so one day we got home from daycare and I asked him if he wanted to eat a popsicle and ride his gator and he said yes and hopped on. 

Our neighbors come over and play a lot and now they all love to ride and play on the gator. 

Jackson driving his lady around!

 Then per his request Oakleigh went for a ride! 

 He made sure she was safe the whole time! I really didn't let him drive her.... well just for a second. She loved it. My little tomboy already...

Rader's Opening Day!

Today was opening day at Rader's and what a year makes! Jackson had the best day of his little life. We had so much fun and it wasn't busy at all. Jackson kept talking about the train and the slide on the way home. Matt bought me a pass so we will definitely be back.

 This boy and animals. He loves his Rabbits!

 We had the jumping pillow all to ourselves... way better than when it is full of kids!

 My little peanut always along for the ride.
