Carving Pumpkins!

The kids begged to carve the pumpkins before Halloween, so we finally did it! They were so excited and then decided it was boring. So baby Jett got in on the action and stayed with me to the end.

Our Little Monkey is 7 Months Young!

Jett Cooper is 7 months old today! He has grown up so much and I am so sad! He is the happiest boy around and so easy going. He loves to sit back and watch his brothers and sister go go go! He is about as CHILL as they come! We love him so much! He has mastered his crawling skills and gets around to whatever he needs. I love that he can be independent but he is a human VACuuM. He finally decided that food isn't that bad afterall but he chokes a lot still. He is almost 20 lbs and everyone thinks he is 10 months old. WHY can't they just stay little?

Pickin' Punkins!

Last Saturday we went and picked some pumpkins at the pumpkin patch. It is always fun to see the kids pick out the perfect one!

Jett would rather eat dirt than care about the pumpkins!

Dalton was so excited he found a great big round one!

Cohen picked out the pumpkin next to him but left with one the size of Dalton's because he has to be just like his big bro!

Aspen...being crazy Aspen!

These are the beasts we left with...Jett's was just his size! So Cute!

Grandma Strickland with all her Grandkiddos!

On the Move!

Jett Pooper is a crawler...not very fast yet but a crawler! He also has figured out how to get back to his sitting position already. He is not my little baby anymore, he is growing up too fast to keep up with his brothers and sissy!

So PROUD!...the newest member of the Church...

Dalton was baptized and confirmed by his Grandpa Bill today. It was such a great day. From the moment we woke up this morning it was so great. The kids all got ready without a fight and we all made it to the church by 8:30. Unbelievable because Jesse and I went to bed at 1:30 am. I am so proud of Dalton! He is such a great example to all those around him. He knows right from wrong and I am so glad that he understands the simple principles that are the most important. He was so excited this morning and he just glowed after he was baptized and confirmed. I am so grateful for all our family and friends that were there to support him in his great decision. He is growing up so fast and I hope that he can continue on a great path of happiness. He is such a great kid and we love him so much. Didn't get very many pics on his big day...He wanted to play with all his family and not in his suit.

Just Because...

 
He is so stinkin' CUTE!

HAPPY HALF!

My baby Jett oh how you have changed in the last month! You are such a big independent boy. Today you weighed in at 18lbs 12oz(73%) and 28in long(93%). You came to this world the biggest of the boys and although you are not small you are smaller than your brothers were at 6 months old. Dalton had you by 1/2 a lb and Cohen had you by more than 1 lb. I love how much you have changed and developed in the last month. You get so shy when someone talks to you and you hide in my neck with a great big smile. You are such a cuddle bug when I hold you and today you even put your head on your sister's shoulder so sweet! You don't really like your baby food...you raspberry it out at me and I think I get more food than you. You love to blow raspberries and it is oh so cute! You would rather suck on your fists for lunch. You still resemble your brother Dalton so much. You know your name and love it when daddy calls you Jett Pooper Dooper. You sit up so well and love your toys. You love to reach, dive, scoot and roll around to whatever you want and pretty soon you are going to get into lots of trouble crawling. You like your binki still and you love to put it in your mouth by yourself. I love how happy you are all the time. Your hair is finally coming back in and I could even spike it today. Heavenly Father sent me another angel and I love you so much. You still like a snack in the middle of the night and that is okay with me, I love to hold you when you are asleep because you don't like to sleep anywhere except your bed. I love you so much and you need to slow down on the growing, stay little a little longer. We love you, Happy Half!
