Madden is almost three months now! It feels like it was just yesterday that he entered our lives but there is also a feeling that he has always been with us. He already has quite the personality and smiles more than any other baby I have ever met. He also continues to be a great eater, pushing 15 pounds at his two month check up, I'm sure he's gained a few since but I'm too scared to find out!
It was Grady's second birthday on October seventh and we decided to get him fewer gifts this year and he was none the wiser. His favorite seemed to be the balloons the Batemans gave him. at one point they got stuck to his foot and followed him through out the house.
For Halloween Chris went all out and dressed up as a Footzone employee. I long for the day when I can burn all of his work shirts...
Grady was a lion and did not want to have his picture taken, but I tried my best anyway. No wonder the paparazzi always take such bad photos. It's not easy when you have an unwilling subject. I have new found sympathy for them.
Madden was a Monkey and the pictures do not do him justice. He was adorable and a little freakish as the Monkey costume had a tendency of looking too real sometimes.
I liked how Madden wanted to keep up the tradition of crying in costume for the pics. Grady would be proud.
We blessed Madden on the first Sunday in November. He was wearing the same blessing outfit as Grady did. However, since he was three times the size that Grady was, Mom ended up cutting up the back of the outfit so we could fit all of his chub in.
We went for a walk one day and I just thought Madden looked so cute in this hand-me-down hat that I had to get a picture, and yes I'm in the bathroom, where all the best pictures are taken...right?
Mid November I once again tried to sell my wares at the Holiday House Boutique in Boise. I would call it a success at I actually sold something this year! yay! I think I made close to 300 dollars which doesn't even begin to pay for what I spent making it and earns me a comparable 1.50 an hour. People keep asking me if it was worth it! Jury's still out...
Here is my booth
Here I am modeling a few of my items
I even put child labor into practice having both Madden and Grady Model my onesies.
While we were at Emily's house, Grady got his first fat lip by falling off a bench right onto his face. I was so proud!
