The Photo Shoot

Last month, we had a professional photographer take the boys pictures at The Arboretum. We had beautiful weather & Erin was extremely good & patient with the boys, but we still couldn't pull together a single picture where all 3 were smiling. Here are a few of them, some of these expressions should give you a good laugh!
And here's our Little Guy last week when he turned 9 mths old....

The Boys

Brotherly Love

9 Months Old

Grant turned 9 months old yesterday. He had a fun month, getting to see all the Gaddum family over Thanksgiving & getting lots of attention! He is constantly on the go, pulling himself up on anything he can get a grip on & exploring every cabinet & drawer he can get his hands on. He also had his 5th tooth pop through yesterday, which probably explains why he hasn't been the best sleeper this month. He has also become very vocal, babbling & imitating us all the time!

Raleigh

The boys & I spent a fun couple of nights visiting The Cunningham Clan. Here Filson is tending to the garden at Marbles, Raleigh's children's museum which is so impressive.

Anna Leigh & the boys checking out the creek in their backyard

Boo making his way across the bridge.
We have had nice weather, but it still would have been a little chilly for a dip in the creek!

Nothing is more fun than a big pile of leaves!

Horseshoes, anyone?

The boys never get tired of playing with Vada & Isla in their awesome playroom

Trying to get these 5 to pose for a picture is always good for a laugh!

After the chaos, Filson then wanted to pose for his own picture

These 2 are the sweethearts for now....but we know their day is soon approaching where they will cause us just as many headaches as their big siblings ; )

O Christmas Tree

Ian placing the 1st ornament on our tree last night

Filson getting his turn

Instead of posing tonight by the finished product, they're arguing over who gets to hold Grant!

Could these 3 look more thrilled?!?

Ian insisted on wearing his hood up all morning & he looked like a little elf : )
