The day of cousins Part 2

In the early evening Mitch and I went to the Mitchell's to celebrate all the October birthdays. (Jason, Brian, Jeff and Lauren). Jeff wasn't there because he was hunting but we all had a good visit.

When we were finishing up dinner Caitlyn was entertaining Mitch. She had him laughing so loud with her jumps and twirls. It was so cute.

The day of cousins Part 1

In the morning Mitch and I went down to the Rydman house to visit the Carroll side of the family. The adults rotated going to Leann's for a massage while the others stayed back to visit and entertain the kids (or should I say be entertained by them)

This is what happened when you tried to take away his yogurt cup.

Roddy and Rydman visit

When I went to pick up Mitch from Mimi we decided to met at Bonnie's house . As a special bonus the Roddy's were able to meet for a visit as well.

slumber party at Mimi's

Mitch went to Vashon this weekend for a slumber party with Mimi and Papa. Jeff and I got to go on a date night to celebrate our 6 year anniversay.

Crouch cousins

We had a visit from the Crouch cousins last weekend. Caitlyn and Lauren did a great job playing with Mitch. They were making funny faces and sounds. They also made sure Mitch always had a toy to play with. Mitch was well taken care of by his cousins.

Sitting up

Mitch can sit up by himself!! We looked at the video monitor the other night and saw Mitch sitting up in his crib. Since then we've moved the crib mattress lower. Here are a couple pictures of him waking up in the morning, happy and ready for the day.

ready. set. NO!

Oh no! This looks too much like crawling. He isn't moving yet but he is getting strong enough to hold himself up on all fours. I better start thinking about baby proofing things.
