He Crawls!!

Slade is crawling, all over the place, Quindy tries to move toys away from him, but he just keeps coming. It is pretty funny. Now when he wants to be picked up, he just comes over and rubs his head against my ankles, the little kitty. He is also starting to pull himself up on things to stand, tries to crawl on things and has taken a few steps around the furniture. I keep telling him to stop it and just be a baby, but he doesn't listen to me. He gets that from his dad. I have a video of him crawling, but am having trouble uploading it, or just single pcitures, so here is another slide show of Slade doing things not particularly mentioned in this post

Halloween

WE celebrated Halloween with out little fairy/angel (depending on whether she would wear the halo) and our pumpkin/devil (depending on what party we were at) by going trunk or treating at church on the 30th and to Boo at the Zoo on the 31st. It was lots of fun. Quindy enjoyed every minute of it and Slade tolerated it pretty well (He is teething and tends to be a bit cranky) We got lots of candy and Ben abd I ate most of to help save Quindy's teeth, but we didn't need to worry, because it seems that she was most excited about a toothbrush a dentist's office passed out. Whose kid is she?

Potty trained

Quindy is potty trained!! She actually did it before her birthday, but in case no one noticed, I am a little slow at posting stuff. We had tried stickers, candy, a gown, snow cones, Arizona, taking toys away and giving them back, anything I could think of. THen one day, my mom bought her a pop and said, "you have to use the potty in order to drink pop" She has used it ever since. So thanks grandma, I don't think we could have done it without you.

QUINDY's BIRTHDAY

Quindy turned 3 on Oct. 31st. We celebrated the only way we know how, with a Dora cake, (she had one last year) Whenever I would ask her what she wanted for her birthday, she would tell me a cake, specifically a Dora cake. So she got exactly what she wanted. Hurray for mom and dad. Ben is the cake decorator in our house and he did an excellent job. She had a great time, got lots of dress-up, a guitar and a radio. Thanks to everyone who made it such a special day for her.
