Our Baby Halloween Party

Isaac (as a dragon) with Melissa and Owen (as a monkey) with his mom, Kristie.

Sara and Emil and their son, Max. He was dressed as Yoda, but the costume came off shortly after they arrived, as most of the babies were quite warm and uncomfortable in the costumes.

Owen and Evie (as Elmo) with their moms, Kristie and Sara.

Amelia (as a pumpkin) having some fun on the floor.

We have met several families around us with babies that are close to Isaac's age. We all wanted to dress the babies up for Halloween, but didn't really have anywhere to go. So, Melissa made some chili and pumpkin cupcakes for a party. It was so fun seeing all the babies, even though the costumes didn't last very long. We also enjoyed catching up with the other adults. We'll have to do this again sometime soon! Happy Halloween!

Isaac's First Veggies!

Isaac wasn't so sure about the carrots, but he had fun trying them!

4 more teeth!

Isaac started getting 4 more teeth--all in a row on top--this weekend! No wonder he's been a little cranky.

Grandma and Grandpa Dempsey Visit

Dave's parents visited for the weekend. Melissa had to go to a conference in LA, so they helped Dave take care of Isaac. Doris got to give Isaac his bath and help feed him. It looks like they all had a great weekend! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa!

The Pumpkin Farm

We took Isaac to Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm in North Barrington to get some good photos. Doris sent him a cute outfit that was perfect for the day. We had carmel apples and bought Isaac his first pumpkin!

Playdate with Jack

Isaac and I went over to Megan and Jack's house to play. They are starting to be great friends!

MSU at Northwestern football

It was a beautiful Saturday--80 degrees and sunny, so we got tickets to the Northwestern/MSU football game. The seats were great and State killed the Wildcats. Isaac got pretty tired of the sun by the 4th quarter, so we left early, but it was a great day!

Isaac's first cereal!

Isaac enjoyed his first rice cereal. After sleeping 12 hours every night for over a month, Isaac started waking up in the middle of the night last week to eat. So, we decided to start some some cereal slightly before he turned 6 months old. He seemed to enjoy it and the nights definitely got better!

At Grandma's house

Isaac was really a ham with Grandma Ternet.

Isaac enjoyed the birthday party

Isaac and Aunt Diane. He's really fascinated by a yellow, plastic plate. That's my baby!

Great-grandma Ternet and Isaac.

Great-grandma McNeal and 3 of her great-grandchildren, Fancy, Isaac, and Xander.

Happy First Birthday, Fancy!

Fancy had the coolest birthday cake! It's a Baby Einstein Caterpillar.

What a beautiful princess!

She really enjoyed her birthday cake!

What a fun toy!
