October Update

Good Friday Afternoon Everyone!!!

It's the weekend...yippee. I got out of work at 12:30 and had Maxton by 1:00. We played for about an hour and now he is sleeping. I don't know why it is, but he sleeps much longer when he is home with me in the afternoons than he does at school. I guess there is less going on here so he gets more sound sleep, but I look forward to getting home early to play with him. Oh well, he will be rested up for his fall party at school tonight. That's right, he has a school party to attend tonight. There will be balloons, a cake walk, pumpkins and lots of fun! Tomorrow we have a neighborhood fall party to attend. Boy you would think we are a partying family. This will be the most eventful weekend in awhile.

OK, now that I have all that out I am sure you are all dieing to here about Maxton's 8 month highlights. Well...where d I start??? He is just growing way too fast. He is moving all around. He tries to crawl, but can move faster right now by doing the army crawl. He is clapping with a huge grin that shows off his two growing teeth. And he is pulling himself up on things.

Mike and Maxton were home together for 5 days without me. They did wonderful. I even did alright this time. Mike had alot to do with that. He let me know that everything was ok, but they needed me and were so happy I was home. And this time, being that Maxton is older, he recognized me and reached for me even though he was tired.

Last weekend we all went over to moms house and had our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Carving Party. This time Maxton had more of a role than last year ;). Here are some pictures from the party...
