Halloween and Bens is 9 Months

 We spent Halloween in Shelby with some Weishaar cousins. Papa Choo Choo retired from Amtrak the same week so we had a blast celebrating his 40 years with railroads. We went to the trunk or treat and a few houses for candy. Brig was so excited that everyone was giving him sweets. He was very polite about it and even told some people to "have a good night and be safe!" After that Jared took the older kids to almost every single house in Shelby. They came home with pillow cases overflowing with candy.

Our little monsters!

Cutest little monster I have ever seen!

"A witch and her little monsters live here with one handsome devil"

Benson also tried out Brig's racoon costume he wore when he was one.

 At 9 months Benson is "cruising" around the furniture and chasing Brigham around the house. He is very sweet and happy all of the time. He has five teeth with three more making their debut. He loves his blue bear lovey, bath time, being tickled, cheerios, balls, stuffed animals, and being outside.

 Brig wants to be a "cowboy doctor" when he grows up. He will often line up his animals to give them a check up. I like listening to his diagnosis. You will notice the giraffe has a band-aid on his leg. He had a fish hook stuck in his leg and Brig took it out. I'm guessing he remembers fishing with Grandpa Heagy and watching Jared take a hook out of his hand last summer?

 Benson is sporting a firefighter hat from Brig's preschool that day. We learned about the letter F. Next time I will try and take some pictures. It's kind of difficult though with seven busy preschoolers :)

 While Jared was on the East Coast for a grad school interview we went to play at Papa Moo Moo's. We had fun playing in the leaves, hunting for baby kitties and enjoyed some beautiful sunrises.

Too much fun! Nap time!

 Bath time has turned into splash time! Benson loves making splashes and being splashed by big brother.

This is how Benson likes to eat his food- with one foot propped up on the tray. Sill boy!
