Da Boys-

Things are going swimmingly here at the Beardmore household. The boys all get along nicely- especially Cooper and Ripley.

Chase is developing and getting so much personality in his face and actions. He has rolled over from belly to back and discovered his hands; all kinds of exciting things for him to keep busy with.

Cooper is a little rough at times, but he's learning to be gentle with his younger brother, instead he beats on the dog; although I'm not sure Ripley 'hates' it per se.

Ryan is keeping busy with work and has managed to catch Cooper's sniffle. Every time I take Cooper to playtime, he seems to catch some bug from another kiddo- apparently Daddy gets to reap the bugs of our visits too! He'll live... though he'd like you to believe he needs all kind of sympathy and 'wait staff'... yah right! Cuz' I have so much time to wait on him too :)

Hope this finds you doing well and enjoying the best season of the year... the HOLIDAY season.

CHEERS-

Rice Cereal

Finally time to start introducing some solids for lil' Chasers... I'm not sure he's a big fan just yet- He'll get there though.

Baby steps-

Garbage Day!!!

I think we've figured out what Cooper's chores will consist of... collecting garbage, putting it out and bringing in the empty bins- I'm not sure which he enjoys more... seriously!

Helping daddy get the recycling and garbage together is like the highlight of the week! Then on Monday morning after it's all picked up, we collect the 'yucky buckets' and with such pep in his step too!

Anyway, had to show some of his handy work to all of you!

Happy Hauntings!

Hi All! This year Cooper was a firefighter and Chase was a Teddy Bear. It was a GREAT halloween. Chase was so content to just check out the local scene as he was just 'hybernating' in the baby pack I carried him in from door to door. Cooper was 'on fire' going door to door for about the first 5 or 6 houses; then a flock of 'older' kids kinda spooked him and he ran out of flames.

We were invited to our good friends the Rakoz' to trick or treat in their neighborhood. What a great place to gather candy, very festive porches and lots of foot traffic, which makes it nice to walk around in the dark. (especially for someone like me who is scared of that dark... yes me, and adult- I can admit it, I'm terrified of the dark!)

Although Cooper had a great time, Ryan was bummed he didn't score more candy... sad isn't it?

Anyway, hope you all had a good holiday and that this update finds you doing well.

ENJOY!-

Amber

P.S. Today is Chase's 4 month b-day- so big already eh?
