September 2009

September was fun and little more relaxing. We got to spend more time enjoying the backyard before the cooler weather sets in. Although we did have some rain it never stops my kids. Good thing I can watch from the door. Jake has been practicing some new dance moves and a few new words. But he still walks around the house like a gorilla. Avery is a bit of a mommy to Jake. Although she has started blaming him for things that she did. It was quite shocking(and a little funny). I can just imagine the future. She also has a brain like a sponge. She told me she can count and preceded to count to 8 in spanish (courtesy of Dora the Explorer). Don't worry she can count to 12 in english too.
This is a constant face on him. Almost like he is planning something big in that round head of his.


















Avery is a bit organized and felt the letters looked better in a row and wrapped around the fridge.












Jake was "helping"Tank eat.


















I told her to go relax and take a nap. So she decided to play a little first. Notice the skirt, it wasn't on her before she went to her room and before I could see her floor too.
















Waiting for cousin Tori to come over and play (aka babysit)



















Modeling her new hat

















Jake got one too. Of course the boy who would never wear a hat since birth has now decided this is the only hat for him. Hopefully this will not be part of his attire for christmas mass.















Hmm and here I was blaming the dog for smooshing the pillows.













Modeling AGAIN! Good thing she doesn't know where I keep the camera.
















Trying out his new boots and rain coat. Tank not so sure what to think of it. Good thing he isn't a fashion critic.

We did a little fashion shoot at Grandma's house. Trying to take a picture with two squirmy toddlers isn't ideal. But the outfits were vintage and the one Jake wore my brother wore for his 1st birthday (and that was many many years ago). Of course Jake looked like a stuffed sausage in it.







Avery always the model...She was all over her brother during this. I think that is why he seemed so annoyed.
