Okay - so I know I am WAAAAAAYYYYY behind on keeping this blog up to date. Since starting back to work in September, I haven't found the time to do much besides go to work, come home, spend time with my hubby and sweet baby, and go to bed. It has been an adjustment to say the least. But we are doing just that...adjusting, and hopefully I can start blogging more often because it is important for us to keep a record of this special time and to have a way for our family and friends to know what's going on in our lives.
McClane will be 6 months old next week!!! I can hardly believe it. He is such an amazing baby. He is pure joy - the happiest little thing around and his smile melts our hearts. He is learning new things every day and it has been so wonderful watching him grow and develop. He is rolling all over the place (this just happened in the past few days) and we are working on getting him to sit up. He is also teething right now - he will chew on anything he can get in his mouth. He is a sweet sweet baby and he has totally spoiled us. I told Grant that I hope the rest of our children are as good as McClane because if they are, I will just keep having them!
Last week, our good friends Adam, Brooke, and their adorable son Brody came to visit us. We had such a good time visiting with them and I was so excited to have a friend for McClane to go trick-or-treating with on his first Halloween. Brody was a blue monster and McClane was a monkey.
The daycare McClane goes to had a Halloween parade. This is a picture from the parade. One of the parents also took a very cute video. Here's the link:
The password is Spooky Day and you have to capitalize the S and D and put a space between the two words. McClane is the second baby you see. He looks absolutely thrilled :)
This is at the Belkin Lookout Farm in Natick. We picked apples and pears and the farm had tons of fun stuff for kids - a petting zoo, playground, Mike the Music Man playing songs. We had a great day!
Saturday night, we went trick-or-treating in the North End, the Italian district in Boston. We had dinner first at my favorite restaurant in Boston - Dolce Vita - and then dressed the babies up and took them out on Hanover Street where all of the businesses passed out candy (and in some cases, Italian pastries!) to the kids. We even happened upon a Halloween party at the Paul Revere Park, behind the Old North Church, where there were tons of kids running around and playing in their costumes. It was a lot of fun. Here's some trick-or-treating pics.
Our Lil' Monkey!
Brody loved playing with the "bebe" - he always wanted to know where McClane was. Brody will be a big brother in March so it was fun watching him practice on McClane. He'll be a great big brother!!
Trick-or-treating really wore McClane out. He passed out on the way home! We had too much fun!
Until next time,
Grant, Lacey and McClane
