8 months

Oakleigh is 8 months old. I feel like this year is flying by. These pictures were taken a few days later and we went to the Christmas parade in Minier with Brooke and her boys and the kids loved it. A no nap day but who cares!
Somehow little miss got a sucker and was sucking on it, she loved it!

 She is too busy to really get any pictures anymore but I got a few. She is definitely little and petite but she is mighty. She can pull herself up on anything and is starting to move side to side. She can get up on things to like steps or even our little trampoline in the basement. I just hope she doesn't start walking soon! This little butt just kills me.
 She is a happy girl. As long as she feels good she has a smile on her face and 7 teeth in her mouth now. She is eating all kinds of food and loves chicken of all types and fruit.

Ozark Fun!

Last time at the lake for the year. We had to go down to get the boat winterized. Get all of our stuff off the boat and head home. We stayed at Tan-Tara so we could check out the waterpark. We all had a great time and wish it could have lasted longer. We did hit up an awesome arcade and got some delicious food while we were there... 

Daddy was doing all the boat stuff and we just got to play! I can't wait for next summer....

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!
