So yeah, this is Canton drawing an atom, he says it’s lithium and he’s filling the outer shell with electrons…there are no words…:)

Canton and Liberty cheered the Hokies to VicTory over Miami!

Love my monkeys

Liberty loves to practice sitting and she’s glad she has her big brother to lean on!

Liberty celebrated her four months with another trip to the doctor and lots more shots 🙁

Liberty is continuing to grow and practice all her new skills. She’s always been quite good with her hands and is getting great at putting anything she can find right into her mouth. She’s starting to enjoy tummy time a little more, she holds her head up higher and longer. Canton sat at four months, I think Liberty might take a while longer. She spends so much time putting weight on her legs, she just doesn’t have time to practice sitting! Dr. Ashton was surprised by how strong she was, says we have a power forward on our hands! She has just started trying to support herself sitting up with her hands between her legs on the floor. I can’t wait until she can sit with Canton and play together!

Liberty has LOVED to be held since day one, she’s my snuggles, she seems happy with pretty much anyone, but definitely prefers mom to strangers. She’s still talking talking talking! She’ll talk to her toys or anyone who looks her way for minutes! She especially loves talking to big brother! She also LOVES to laugh, to be sang to, and enjoys being tickled!

She’s a great sleeper, she’ll sleep from around 10pm – 6am and take a morning and afternoon nap. We’ve been really lucky with her sleep habits, especially compared to her brother’s twenty minute naps and no nap at 18 months!

Halloween with two kids is quite different than w/ one! Luckily, we could still play man-to-man defense around the neighborhood, I don’t know how parents w/ 3+ kids do it!

Liberty was so excited just to ride around the neighborhood and show off her cute self. But Canton was ecstatic! I think this is the first Halloween he really got the concept of what to do, he efficiently moved from house and house and remembered his manners, which made for some pretty proud parents. We also had some friends come over to Trick or Treat with us which was super fun! Chase and Luke will be moving to the neighborhood soon and will be in kindergarten with Canton next year!

Canton impressed a few neighbors when he made healthy choices like fruit snacks over candy!

We certainly missed Jessica though!

They’ll be another outfit later tonight, but here our Liberty’s first Halloween pics!

Liberty has been rolling stomach to back for a while, since four days old according to Rhonda and Mike! We actually haven’t captured a video of it, so here one is finally. We are still waiting for her to roll the other way, she gets much closer than she does in this video, she will be there soon enough.

Whew! We just got back from my first walk facing forward in my stroller! Between watching brother ride his bike and all the leaves and squirrels I am tired!
