Happy Fall!

These last few months have flown by and we have been super busy!  No time for blogging!  :)
So, here is a quick recap of what we have been up to this fall so far. 

Brynlee:  Turned 6 months old yesterday and is now crawling!  She is super advanced with her movements and activeness.  We weren't quite ready for baby proofing yet, but ready or not here she comes!  She is also pulling herself up onto things, which is NOT a good thing since she is not strong enough or sturdy enough to support herself.  She has taken quite a few tumbles already and I see many more in her future.  She is a mover and a shaker!  Not unlike her brother...hmm...
She doesn't have any teeth yet, but has been drooling and gnawing on things like crazy, so I'm just waiting for one to pop up! 
She is still her laid-back normally happy self.  A great sleeper.  We don't give her a bottle at night anymore at all.  She was always a once a night bottle baby, but these past couple of weeks we cut it out completely.  She sometimes fusses a few times in the early morning hours, but goes right back to sleep with her paci. 
She starts going to Kellan's for daycare tomorrow.  It was so awesome to have my Aunt Lori watch her until now.  We will miss going to pick her up there every day, especially Grady.  He loved to go pick her up with me!  But, we are excited to have a longer night since we will just have 1 stop to make to pick up kids.  And, it will be fun to see how Grady does with having her there with him all day.  :)

Grady:  Still as wild and crazy as ever.  We started a Toddler Team-Up class at the Children's museum this week and he showed me once again that in a room full of kids the same age as him, he is the craziest one.  Seriously getting worried about preschool next year...hmmm.... 
He has also been having lots of bad behaviors when we are around his cousins and friends.  He definately wants to show off that he can be disobedient to his parents and he LOVES to be the clown and thinks he is hysterical.  I DO love his sense of humor though! 
Although he has his craziness, he is also the sweetest, loviest little boy.  He is so sweet to Brynlee.  And, he says the nicest things and thinks of the smartest things to say.  He is also starting to be such a "big brother" to Brynlee and likes to tell her what is going on or what she can or can't do.  She is going to have quite the boss.  :) 
He is seriously such a smart little boy and figures things out so quickly.  He also remembers EVERYTHING.  Scary.  :)  He knows all of his colors and shapes (even the hard ones), and knows most of his numbers 1-10.  He is starting to recognize a few of the letters, and he LOVES to tell us when he sees letters.  He can count to 20 and loves to count for us and sing the alphabet song for us multiple times a day! 
He is loving to play on my iPad and does several games and puzzles on there every night.  I think that is another reason he is learning so much so fast, that iPad has tons of great games and letter/sound things that he loves! He also loves to go to the spelling and reading things that are too hard for him and he refuses to get off of them, but needs help (obvioiusly), but that is another story!  :)

Here are pictures of what we have been up to lately! 



We took Grady to the Air Show!  He loved to watch the planes!


We went to Wichita for my cousin Holly's wedding!

We went to Roca Berry Farm to the Pumpkin Patch, it was so awesome!  Perfect weather and perfect activities for the kids!  We could have spent all day there!
