FALL... the season and the action

So with this new crawling adventure we have been going on, we have had to deal with the outcome of bonking our head on everything. Which on it's own wouldn't be so bad. But now Ivorie has decided that she would like too try to pull herself up onto things and she loses control of herself very easily, so with that comes the head bashing, into the coffee table, into the entertainment stand, into the baby gate, and most recently into the deck door, it was pretty cute until she actually fell, her and Buddy both looking out the window together. So Ivorie is sporting a few bumps and bruises on her forehead, and I imagine the back of her head too.

Last week, Ivorie had a sleepover, Colton and Alisa came to spend the night in Big Lake, it was a fun to let them play until they were purely exhausted, which happened faster for Ivorie than Colton. But it was also nice once the babies went to bed, the Mommies could relax and have a little bit of adult time!

On Friday the 13th, My work had a H1N1 pig roast at Dr. Melloy's house. It was a great night out for me and Lance, we got to interact with adults and not have to worry about who was watching the baby... she was safe and sound at Kevin and Jenica's! We will not mention anything about the picture we recieved via text message shortly after arriving at the party, oh since I already did, I guess I should explain, we got a nice picture sent from Kevin of Ivorie sitting in her car seat holding onto a beer! It was actually pretty adorable :-)

Oh and as I type, my little michelob lover is awaking from a nap....

Baby on the Move!

Trick-or-Treat!

Ivorie and her friend Colton visiting at CBA

We started Halloween early at our house, a whole day early! We woke up Friday morning excited to go out and about. While getting ready Ivorie decided that she was going to surprise me by CRAWLING! She just leaned forward and started moving! I was thankful that I charged the video camera so I ran an got it on video! Daddy was called at work (which rarely happens) and he was excited to hear the news. As we went place to place showing off her Halloween costume, she wasn't shy about showing off her fancy new moves. While we were at Nana's office with Colton the Monkey and Alisa, Ivorie even tried to crawl over Alisa like she was a jungle gym. Then while visiting Jenica, she decided to try crawling in her costume, huge belly and all! It was a cute sight to see this pink monster crawling across the floor!

Halloween I had to work, but was greatly entertained with my jazzerciser friend Kelly, Amy the black cat and Oscar the Grouch, aka Kevin. We had a quick yet busy day at the clinic and then I was headed home to take my monster trick-or-treating.

We started at grandpa and grandma's house where Ivorie got 2 books, she loved to chew them more than read them! Then we visited Grandpa Art's and Ivorie had a great time playing around with Casper, dressed up as a ladybug! She thought that he was so funny, he was a little uneasy about her being in his house, playing on his floor and even trying to play with his toys! We ended the night at Craig and Pam's, where the treats were plentiful, cheerios and food for Ivy, and wine and beer for mom and dad. I even got to hand out a candy to a few kids, there was one kid that was my favorite, trick-or-treating with a purse! I thought it was a little girl, but Lance informed me it was really a boy dressed up as a girl! CUTE!

Ivorie has been mostly crabby and tired today, but with such a busy past few days, I don't blame her, I think Lance and I feel the same way!
