Big Brother, Baby Sister

Hello, her are just a few pictures from the past few weeks:

My Aunt gave them, this cute shirts, and of course the day I try and get pictures, my stinker of a son, would not give up his paci!  This is the best I could get! 
(he's tired, if your wondering about the tummy playing....that's what he does when he's sleepy....shirt up, to play with his belly button and paci please!)

This was his very first face painting.  I never thought for the life of me that he would sit still, but amazingly he did!  He was extremely captivated by it.  The sweet lady talked him through the whole thing, telling him what she was painting, when.

He kept his arm on Reif the entire time.  It was so cute!

The finished product only last about 2 minutes, until he was playing and accidentally smudged it all over Daddy's jeans, but it was still fun!

And look who found her thumb!  I have mixed feelings about it, but still think that it's pretty cute.  She just about covers her face with her hand, she doesn't make a fist as all.  
Maybe she's shy?

Halloween

Hope that everyone had a great Halloween!  We had a blast!  It was really fun to dress up Juliet.  Spencer and Ashton (my brother and sister) were pumpkins when they were 2 and I have always wanted to have a little pumpkin baby and this year I did!  Thatcher is really into pirates and loved his costume, even though it was a bit big.  We went trick or treating in our neighborhood with some of our neighbors and their boys.  They were 8 and 9 years old but Thatcher didn't care, he just wanted to fill his bag.  We had a hard time getting him to say "trick or treat", he just walked up to the door opened his bag and pointed!  It was pretty funny. 

The best shot I could get of his entire costume (minus the boots).  The hat did not last long!

My happy little pumpkin!

His first house.  Candy....and run!

His tactic: he sets down the bag and opens it for easy candy dropping access!

"Look Mama!"

All trick or treated out!

Come on big boys, I can't get in....
(They really were really sweet to Thatcher, even though this picture does not allude to that.)

Passing out candy with Daddy.

Reif's and my Halloween "treat"!

Thatcher's 2!

I cannot believe that Reif and I have a two year old!  On October 28th Thatcher turned two!  Wow does time fly!  He has had a week of birthdays, too!  We had another costume birthday party for him on the 26th, a party at school for him on the 27th, a fun birthday "day" with Juliet, Reif and I on the actual day, and a play group party on the 29th!  I don't know if we can match it next year!  His name is now "Happy Birthday"!  Wish us luck!












Austin


Last weekend I took the kids down to Austin to visit my parents at their lake house, on Lake Travis.  The weather was amazing and we all had a blast.  
I think that the kids are really going to like having the lake house in years to come, as they are able to enjoy more and more about being up there.  I grew up living and spending summers there and have such wonderful memories of it all!  
Four generations of Doolittle women!

Thatcher was all about the boat!  It didn't even have to be in the water!

Thatcher and "G-Dad" (what Thatcher has named him) checking out the deer.

Our scary little, pink skeleton.

Big brother skeleton lovin'!  
Aren't my kiddos so stinkin' cute!

The Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the pumpkin patch with Thatcher's little play group and although it was a bit wet and muggy we had a great time! My mother-in-law met us there to help me with Juliet and the kids played and ran and played.  I couldn't even get Thatcher to take a break when it rained for a bit.  Oh the joys of having a non-stop little boy!  They loved it!

Me and my kidos in the pumpkins!

And we're off...  starting in the house of pumpkins.  "Which one do I want???"

Anybody in there???

Thatcher and his friend Camryn peeking through the pumpkin window.

Scary, I know!  
I turned around for a minute and there he was, sitting high on the tractor!  
He thought that he was big stuff!

The whole gang on a hay ride:
 Jen, Mason, & Samual; Me & Thatcher (minus JAC); Sarabeth, Camryn, Stephanie & Kelsey, and Bethany & Annabell.

One last look before we go!












TWO MONTHS OLD!

Wow does time fly!  I am in total shock that me baby girl is already two months old, and a bit sad because she looks almost 4 or 5!  Somehow we skipped the "infant" stage entirely and moved right on the outgrowing our 0-3 month clothes!
She had her two month check up yesterday and she already weighs 16 lbs and is 25 inches long!!!  YIKERS!  She is literally as big as Thatcher was at 4 months.  I pulled out his stats to compare and he was 15.8 lbs and 25 inches long!  Thatcher better look out!

Here are a few recent pictures of out little linebacker! 

Smile!

My pretty, cheecky, baby girl!

Chub's first sunglasses!

Sweet dreams...

Chillin' in the shade at a birthday party.

My Big Boy, the Big Brother!

Lately Thatcher has taken to the "baby" toys/lounge items!  He even turns on the vibration when he is watching "Dora and Boots" in the bouncy chair and attempts to swing himself in the swing, while yelling WHEEEEEEE!

Very attractively lounging in the bouncy chair, with Juliet's paci, I might add!

"Look at me 'Mama' (his new title for me, I guess we have graduated from Mommy)."  He was so stinkin' proud of himself, for not only getting in the swing, but being able to close the tray down over him too!  I'm one proud "Mama"!

This is at his little friend Emma's birthday party.  You think that he looks ready for some of that cake?  We  had to fend him off and remind him that it was Emma's day and that he would have his birthday cake soon!

Okay this is really cute.  I lost sight of Thatcher one day while I was doing the dishes, which is scary b/c he has a tendency to want to pick Juliet up, (which would ultimately mean that she would end up on the floor) but this time he climbed up on the couch to hold her hand and just continued to watch his morning cartoons!  It was so cute!!!  He has stared doing this anytime she is where he can reach her.  He will even just stand by her to hold her hand if she is up higher than he is.  I love it!

Another example of wanting to be by his baby sister!
