HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO

BEACH DAY

for thanksgiving this year, we got to go visit topher's parents in oregon. it's such a pretty place and topher has wanted to take me to the coast for a while now and we finally got to go! i was so excited!  jonathan was a little monster on the way there and cried what seemed like the entire way! but i just kept looking forward to being at a beach. well...topher and i must have different definitions of a beach cause this certainly wasn't like the beaches i grew up going to in sunny san diego. now, i've never experienced a hurricane, but this is what i imagine they must be like. it was SO stormy! it was windy and rainy the entire time. i ventured outside for about 20 minutes down to the water and the walk back was one of the most exhausting walks of my life! the wind made it hard to walk, i couldn't see in front of me because of the rain, and the wind was blowing sand so violently, i felt like i was being sandblasted! regardless of the weather, it was a really fun trip! jonathan got to go outside with his grandpa, topher and i got to spend some great time with his family. i love family vacations! they are the best.
the morning we left, the storm finally let up and we got some cute shots. enjoy!

playing with grandpa 

somehow he fell asleep. in the rain. and wind. i don't get it.

FOUR MONTHS OLD...

look at this cute kid! he's 4 months old! a list of his accomplishments:

• follows object with his eyes
• lifts his head and chest up
• minds his goo goo's and ga ga's
• reaches for his bear
• rolls over!!

sometimes i can't believe he's already 4 months old. but then i remember all the many times i woke up in the middle of the night and think, yup, that sounds about right! but in all honesty this little boy has brought a lot of joy into our lives and i can't imagine not having him with us! and we are so proud of our little chubbs!

 hanging out with his pillow friends...he makes the same face

he likes bear

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

happy halloween everyone! i had to work all day on the real halloween {literally, i worked 12 hours} so the day before we dressed up jonathan and carved pumpkins!

pumpkin carving is always a challenge for topher. i had to scoop out the goop and draw the pattern on there. "it was hard", but i think he did a pretty good job!

topher's. 

mine.

who's do you think is better?
