All About the Abbotts: November 2010

3 1/2 months

Is this a happy boy or what?

My handsome boys.

Christopher tried a grape today.

He loved it. I thought he might make a face of dislike, but no, he kept gnawing on it. Apparently he likes food, any food.

This Audrey and her beloved shovel. She sometimes goes digging for "treasure and clues" and sometimes it's a pogo stick and she boings all over the house. Her imagination cracks me up. Other things that crack us up: Her new phrases. "It sure is!", "Oh well", and "I have an idea!"

Christopher is starting to actually play with toys now, instead of just laying there.

He can actually entertain himself for a few minutes.

He loves this monkey.

Even though he's not turning over consistently, he can hold himself up sitting for a few seconds. He's really close to turning from back to tummy as well.

And there he goes...

and again...

How cute.

I wanted to take this picture because they were all wearing brown that day. And they all looked at the camera!

Halloween

Christopher showing off his Halloween bib from Grandma.

The kids were less than cooperative when it came to the group shot. But it was hilarious anyway.

Jackson was drumming.

This would have been a good one if they were looking at me!

Audrey wouldn't wear her hat so Zoey was trying to help.

And Audrey kept putting her bucket in front of her face!

Jackson was making funny faces at Christopher and he was laughing. He loves his cousin!

Before trick-or-treating the girls needed to inspect the pumpkins.

And Audrey needed a romp in the leaves.

Audrey made quite a haul.

It was fun watching them go door to door.

Travis and the girls.

Christopher just hung out with Papa and took it all in.

I love you Grandma!

We went to Travis and Angi's church party afterwards and Christopher got his face painted.

He wasn't too sure about it but it was too dang cute!

Trunk or Treat at Countryside October 30, 2010

We had our annual Trunk or Treat at the church this year. Audrey was super excited and couldn't wait to show off her frog costume. She didn't want to be the princess from The Princess and the Frog, she wanted to be the frog.
