No News is Good News :)

No news on the baby front, which hopefully means everything is par for the course.  I'm at the stage when I have to go to the doctor every 2 weeks, but they really just check my blood pressure and the baby's heart beat.                                                                                       Ramsey has been having hiccups every time I eat!  He is quite busy in there.  Right now he should be around 4.5-5 pounds and about 17.5 inches long.  In the last week my braxton hicks contractions have increased, and my acid reflux is in full swing!  I'm 33 weeks, so my 6 week countdown is on!

Here is a comparison of my belly with Brooks and Ramsey (without this I would have told you I am much bigger this time, haha)!  32 weeks with Brooks on the left and 32 weeks with Ramsey on the right.

Brody had his 3rd birthday party last weekend and all the boys had a blast at Monkey Joes!  Thanks for all the fun cousin Brody!

What, you've never seen two cousins on one horse?

<----- That's one tired little man!

We found out Brooks LOVES jell-o!

And here are few a pictures of this little personality beginning to shine!  These are pictures Tim has sent me while I am at work.  The first two are Brooks insisting on wearing his slippers, hat, and jacket inside the house!  

And I think it's safe to say he likes pudding too!  This big guy is officially 23 months!  I guess soon we'll start counting his age by years instead of months!  

Halloween Monster

 

Getting ready for our first big go at trick-or-treating!  Brooks loved dressing up as a monster, but he didn't totally understand until he got that first pack of M&Ms in his hands.  Then it was, "more, more, more" all night! 

 

 

He's pretty much the cutest monster ever!  

 

 

 

Brooks came home with plenty of candy, including some for his pregnant mama and little bro!  

The night before Halloween we finally carved our family pumpkin. Little did I know it was Tim's first time carving a pumpkin too! Here are some pics of the whole process: picking it out, cleaning it out, and carving the beaut!  I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with Tim's Cookie Monster skills!

 

We have really been enjoying Brooks precious personality.  This morning he slept in until 9:30 and while I was waiting for him to wake up, I thought- what in the world did I look forward to on Saturday morning before him?  I just love our morning snuggles and thank God everyday for his existence!  I can't begin to fathom how our hearts will change when Ramsey arrives!

Fall Fun!

We visited Cagle Farm in Canton last weekend for their pumpkin patch and hayride.  Unfortunately, it started raining before we got to the hayride, but we had fun with the pumpkins.  Here are some pictures:

 Playing with trucks in the corn :)

 Brooks loved watching the goats...

 ...and feeding the goats!

 He couldn't understand why it wouldn't eat the 1 piece of food he was holding up, haha!

 "Man, these pumpkins are heavy!"

 "They're all my favorite color- orange!"

 "No, I will not look at the camera!"

 First attempt at a family picture, he wasn't having it!

 Finally, a happy Brooks!

 "Now that's a big tractor!  Okay, get me down- this is scary!"

 After the pumpkin patch fun, we got to play "brooms" with our cousins! 

 

 

Brooks had fun driving a car at Dave and Busters, but this was the only picture I got!   

 Such a cool dude!

 

 Brooks went to the movie theater for the first time this morning!  NCG did a free family movie, so we thought we would try it out and see how long he lasted.  He saw Despicable Me 2, and enjoyed it!  We made it all the way through the movie, although there was a lot of restlessness in the middle!

 

 

Daddy got Brooks some Cars slippers, and he loves them so much he is sleeping with them!  The two of them are two peas in a pod- eyes glued to the TV!
