luckiest mom in the world

Look at these three boys, I know I am the luckiest mom in the world. Three funny, silly, sweet, and wonderful boys. And they love each other and play nicely.

pulling up

Andy is pulling up on everything. He is attempting to cruise and I know that he will be moving everywhere soon.

little christmas tree

Every year this tree brings us a lot of joy. The boys love to look at the ornaments and also love to help with the decorating. Usually the snowflake garland gets pulled out many times and favorite ornaments get carried around the house. Andy loved the lights

happy boy

He is usually all smiles! And always moving

6 months old

Wow! He is really on the move. He almost grabbed those candles.

starting to stand

It is way too soon for this baby to be standing, but he is! And he is another Gerstberger boy that loves the vacuum!

christmas photos

this gets harder every year. Getting three kids to smile together and all look at the camera is very hard. Katie was here to help and with the two of us, it took about 300 photos to get one good shot!

mr grumpy and mr happy at Nolan's Thanksgiving feast

This is one of Bryce's more common faces! Nolan's Thanksgiving feast was very cute. He dressed as a Native American and the whole class recited poems and sang songs before having a feast of goldfish and juice.

the iPad

Andy doesn't want to miss out on anything that his brothers do. He knows the iPad is fun because he watches them. Whenever he can get to it, he grabs it and swipes the screen to watch the colors. He has to be distracted to get it back. Andy has also started babbling and his favorite is babababa.

two cuties

While Nolan is at school, Bryce and Andy hang out and Andy loves to do everything Bryce does. Andy holds strange things to explore like this back scratcher. Bryce is loving having the guinea pigs to hold and snuggle

messy

Andy is still eating and really prefers to have big food pieces to suck on by himself. He likes biter biscuits, puffs and pizza crust. He doesn't like to be spoon fed as much as he wants to feed himself.

eating

Andy had his first official food on November 1st. He had been stealing things to suck on and gum for about a week so we figured it was time to give him food. Andy had pears and seemed to like them. He reached for the spoon and was mostly happy!

Halloween!

We went trick or treating with our new neighbors on Halloween and had a great time! That night Bryce chose to dress up in a red costume that I thought was a power ranger but turned out to be a lego bionicle. Andy wore a bumblebee costume. It was very cold that night, but the boys wanted to keep going, very excited about the candy.

carving pumpkins

We carved pumpkins at Grandmom's house. The pumpkins were frozen from the earlier snow. The boys enjoyed it and Bryce giggled a lot about how chilly the pumpkin was. Nolan said it felt slimy, and made faces but said he didn't mind the slimy feeling. Andy enjoyed touching and exploring the pumpkin too.

crazy snow

A crazy snow storm in October! The boys were thrilled to be able to go out and play and Andy was amazed at the cold and white!

halloween parade

Nolan's school parade was so fun! Bryce hadn't chosen his Halloween costume yet, so he wore a dragon to the parade. Andy dressed as a skeleton! Nolan was super why and sang all of the songs perfectly. During the parade, Bryce wanted to take pictures with the little camera while Andy tried to eat the big camera.

on a hayride

We are on a hayride for Nolan's preschool class. It is so nice because everyone can go! The boys had a great time seeing the farm animals and picking a pumpkin to bring home. They were very excited about riding in the wagon pulled by the tractor.
It was muddy but not too cool so we had a great time!
