Carter's 6 Months Old

His first time trying rice cereal. He didn't like it too much.

Sienna got a turn feeding him.

This was his first time trying real food. He had squash. He thought it was really weird. I made him squash and sweet potatoes so far. The foods he's tried so far are squash, sweet potatoes, avocado, and apples. He's liked the avocado the best.

He sits by himself really good. He likes to sit and play with his toys.

He plays in this toy that was Sienna's when she was a baby. He usually only plays in it for a few minutes before...

he gets mad. This is his mad face that he does.

He's such a sweet boy.

Lyndsey's Married!

We went to Safford for Lyndsey's wedding this weekend. It's weird that my little sister is married!

The kids had fun playing Candy Land at Grandma Sparks' house. Sienna actually played a couple times but Carter tried to get in on a game.

Sienna sat on Tate and Tanner's new pony Teddy.

Sienna was the flower girl in Lyndsey's wedding. She looked so cute of course.

Carter looked cute in his pink tie that his aunt Melissa made for him. She made them for all the little boys.

Carter and Sienna with my dad. I tried to get one of Carter and my mom but it was later on and my camera wasn't working so good in the dim light.

Sienna did awesome as a flower girl. She wanted to walk by herself and throw the flower petals. She had fun even though the whole time leading up to the wedding she was mad that her dress was going to be pink and not green. Green is her favorite color right now. My mom told her she would get her a green dress for Christmas so she was happy.

Sienna and Bryden really love each other. They're both sweethearts and like to give lots of loves.

Carter chewed on his tie the whole night. Lyndsey looked so pretty in her dress.

Sienna, Harlee, Tate, and Tanner had fun running around together and playing.

We came home early Sunday morning. This picture isn't very clear but on the drive up and the drive back Sienna would grab Carter's hand and they would hold hands for a long time. Sienna's always so sweet to him and he loves her.

Halloween Fun

Our first fun thing we did was a neighborhood carnival. They blocked off the street where our friends live and had a carnival.

Trying to get a picture of both kids was not going so good. Carter was hungry and trying to eat Sienna's costume.

Batman

Sienna had fun playing games, and riding a little train, and we ate hotdogs.

Me and my boy.

His cape.

Then on the Thursday before Halloween we went to a farm that had a fall festival. Sienna loved riding this little train. She rode it 3 times.

My boys.

Silly girl. She was in the hay maze.

Seesaw.

This was a big bouncy air pillow thing to jump on.

Sienna's pumpkin she picked out.

We carved pumpkins.

Then on Halloween night we went back to our friends neighborhood for trick or treating. We walked down a few streets. Sienna got a ton of candy. Garrett would take her up to get the candy and they thought she was a cute pirate so Garrett told her to say argh! then they gave her extra candy.

Carter just had fun hanging out.

We came home and lit our pumpkins. Sienna was wired for a while from all the candy she ate.

5 Months

Carter is 5 months! Time is going by way too quick and I want it to stop. I don't want him to get big. Half of the pictures we have of him from this last month he's sleeping in different places. He's a good boy.

Sienna was a little upset that he slobbered all over her horse. She's really such a good sister though and is good about letting him play with her stuff. Which really just means chewing on it. She can usually get him to laugh every time she tries. She gets him to laugh much easier than anyone else. I love seeing them laughing and having fun together.

He can almost sit up all by himself. He's so strong. Makes me sad cause I just want him to be my baby forever. He rolls over but not very much. He doesn't like to be on his stomach very long.

At 5 months he's 18 lbs 9 oz (90%) and 27 in. tall (90%). He so big he looks older than he is. He's a tough boy. He gets shots and he only cries for a second. It's so funny how we can already tell how he's so much different from Sienna. I guess that's because he's a boy. I love having a boy.

Dentist

Sienna went to the dentist for the first time on 9/27. She was such a big girl. She did everything they told her to and wasn't scared at all. I was really proud of her. She thought it was great because she got a balloon and a goodie bag when we left.
