Carmine Takes His First Bite

Carmine turned 6 months old on Friday, which means it's time to start solids. We knew he was ready. A sure sign was him trying to grab food out of our hands or off of our dinner plates. His first bite of real food isn't what most would call appealing. But it is common for most babies - rice cereal, of course. Now with some real food in you belly, Carmine, will you sleep for Mommy?

Carmine Figures Out The Buttons

Carmine recently figured out how to press the squeaky buttons on his saucer. He continued to slam his little palm on them for a good 15 minutes. He was so pleased with himself.

Halloween 2009

Every year Brad spends more time in the yard getting it ready to freak out the trick or treaters. This year was even spookier than last year. He added a few graves and a zombie coming out of the ground. He also purchased a timer for our smog machine and ghoul for our front door. It looks cheesy but it made awesome sound effects! The boys continue to be scared of all the decor. They especially don't like the zombie head coming out of the ground (I don't blame them). In fact, they are so terrified of Drake, our pirate, that when Brad got him out of the box the day before Halloween we had to put a blanket over his head because they boys would't go near it. When Halloween came and we put him outside the front door, the boys wouldn't use that door. They left the house through the garage or the back door only.
