HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hey everyone. We told you we would be in disguise. I'm the frog, you can't see me very well. The costume was too big for me. Meaghan is the bumble bee. She wouldn't sit still for most of the pictures as usual these days.

We had a good time trick or treating, but I think we were taken for a ride only. Mommy and daddy ate all the treats. What's up with that? We went to Aunt Staci's house and saw Uncle Jimmy, Kenzlie, & Kaitlyn. Then we went to just a couple houses in our neighborhood.

We sat with our friend Jake for a bit. He was a lion. How scary!!!
Daddy and mommy took us up to Fergus Falls to see Grandma and Grandpa Kreiser. This weekend went much better than the last. Last time we were sick, yuk!!!!!!
We had fun this weekend. We played lots and showed G and G Kreiser that we can stand. Yes I can stand but I need help to get up. Meaghan stood and walked around the furniture for them. I "talked" to them and snuggled up every chance I could get. Daddy went hunting and shot a doe. I guess that's a girl deer. He said we could try some venison this winter. Whatever that is.

Mommy took us to the doctor this week. We only got 1 shot this time. I weighed 18 pounds 13 ounces (25%) and I am 27 1/2 inches long (30%). Meaghan is 21 pounds (75%) and 29 inches long (80%). The doctor was really happy with all that we can do. She even told mommy not to worry that I don't crawl yet, it will come. I do like to scoot around on my butt and I can crawl backwards.

Look I'm standing


Hey I can stand too.
See I'm still standing, now if I only could figure out this crawling thing.
I think Meaghan is going to be taller than me always.

Meaghan is getting into mischief. She loves the cupboard where mommy keeps our Baby Einsteins.

Oops, I think Meaghan went a little too far into the toy box.

Meaghan

Have a great November.

Lots of love,

Allison and Meaghan

Tough Weekend

Hey everyone~

This was suppose to be a cute update with pictures from a pumpkin patch. My mommy was so excited, but Meaghan and I had different plans. We all headed up to Wildwood (G & G Kreiser's place in Fergus Falls) Friday. Meaghan and I thought we would see what mommy and daddy would do if we both got sick in the car within 15 minutes of each other. They didn't really care for it that much. It was so awful they were laughing. Daddy dealt with our car seats as mommy cleaned us up, twice!!!!! Max enjoyed it though, he was able to run around in a field while all this was going on. I continued to have issues the rest of the way up. Needless to say, mommy nixed the pumpkin patch. We were able to snuggle with Grandma and Grandpa Kreiser though. That was a treat. We don't get to see them very much.



Me and Grandma Kreiser watching Baby Einstein.




I'm just not quite myself today.





Meaghan with Grandpa Kreiser.






Meaghan having snuggle time with grandma.





We tried to stay up for daddy, he went hunting. We didn't quite make it.




I had gained a pound over the past couple weeks prior to this. I was catching up with Meaghan, but I'm guessing I lost a bit. Meaghan was back to eating real food before me. We're both good now though. It didn't last very long.


I still don't care for crawling, Meaghan has a second tooth popping thru, and stands in her crib. She thinks she is such hot stuff. Well one day I'll show her. I'm just soaking it all in and then BAM!!!!! I'm walking. She won't know what hit her.



Meaghan



We're practicing with these new things called "sippy cups". I don't really get anything out though, hmmmm????? Bottles are much easier.


Here are some pictures, enjoy and next time you see us you won't recognize us. We'll be in disguise:-)

I was having a rough afternoon, don't ask.


Meaghan with our cousins, Kenzlie and Kaitlyn. I was still napping as usual. I like my sleep.



Love Allison

Just Curious, That's All

Can you believe our mommy made us where these? We are so going to get back at her one day. Daddy thought we were cute, but "just silly".

Hey everybody, It's me Meaghan. I love to crawl. There is so much to see out there. I can't believe what I was missing. I keep trying to tell Allison what she's missing but she's just happy to sit around. She'll be bored soon enough sitting around. I try and bug her a lot thinking she might start to crawl to get away from me, no such luck. I climb over her, take her toys and still nothing. She is starting to pull my hair though when I climb over her. I think it's the funniest thing in the world. So does she. We just laugh and laugh at each other.


I love having someone to play with, but I don't really care to share mommy. I don't really like it when mommy is giving Allison her bottle or changing her diaper. I even tried to grab Allison's diaper once. Boy was that a no-no. My mommy took that away from me so fast I didn't even realize what happened. She said something about "dirty", then I got whiff. STINKY!!!! I guess she was right to get that away from me, yuk.


I have really become quite an explorer. I found the Roomba, but now mommy hid it. I have no idea where it went. It was really cool though. There were these buttons on it that lit up. Oh well. I also follow Max everywhere. I know he just loves it:-) The best thing I found so far (except for cords, they're a no-no I guess), the TOY BOX. I even showed Allison. I really like the stereo thingy too. I can make the radio really loud. Daddy just shakes his head and smiles at me. Oh guess what else I found. The bib, burp cloth drawer. I emptied all of them onto the kitchen floor. Mommy even tried to sneak and get a picture of me. It didn't turn out so great, but she did get a video to show daddy.

Pssst: I can stand in my crib now too. I really surprised mommy that first time I did that. I also have a second tooth almost in.

Oh here are some pictures of Allison. I figured I better put pictures of Allison in this note to you all too. Make it fair and all. I know she adds pictures of me for you all.

Allison, just loves finger food now. She just needs to learn not to shove it all in at once. I still do that too though once in awhile.

See you all later, I hope you have a good Fall. I hear there's something called Halloween coming up. We get to wear costumes and get candy (although I bet we don't get to eat any of it, no fair. Daddy's also going to carve pumpkins for us. We even get to go to a birthday party where we wear our costumes. Our cousin, Kenzlie, is turning 10 this year. That's OLD.

Well bye for now. We'll chat soon. Love Meaghan

Gettin' around somewhat

Hi everybody~ It's me, Allison (I'm on the left). I thought I would give you all an update since Meaghan is too busy crawling everywhere. She is all over the place. Daddy couldn't wait until we were mobile. Well just watch out daddy, Meaghan is into everything; cords, Max, mommy's Roomba (she didn't like it too much when she turned it on), our iPod, and did I say cords???!!!! She is a cord magnet. She's also mommy's personal sweeper. Meaghan crawls everywhere on her tummy, no butt up in the air.


Meaghan on the go.

Meaghan is also getting a tooth, maybe two. Mommy says it's soooo close to popping thru. I'm not sure I like the sound of that. It sounds like it may hurt, ouch. At least I'm safe for now. She says there is no sign of any teeth coming yet for me. I just like to take my own sweet time on everything. I love to just sit and watch Meaghan crawl around, although she does come and take my toys away from me. I used to be okay with that, but now it's getting a bit old. She just better watch out, when I crawl here I come.

Hey, if Meaghan's feet get in my way, it's not my fault if they end up in my mouth.

Our favorite thing to do before we go to bed is take a bath. We have so much fun.


Mommy and daddy weighed us the other day. I am now 18 pounds 6 ounces; Meaghan is 20 pounds and 3 ounces. Mommy and daddy switched our car seats. The one I was in takes up to 30 pounds and the one Meaghan was in only goes up to 23 pounds. Now I sit behind whoever's driving. I kinda like my new view, it's a nice change of pace:-)

Love, Allison


Below are some recent pictures of Meaghan and myself.


Hey guys, like my new cap. It used to be my cousin Cecelia's.



I love it when Max licks me, mommy's not too fond of it though.


Max is all about licking us and playing with us at his leisure, but if Meaghan wants to play with him he is up and out of there so fast!!! She follows him everywhere. It's fun to watch Max get all irritated with Meaghan.


We love to read too.


Meaghan, her eyes are going to be brown. I think mine will stay a gray blue.


Me, Allison on the left. Meaghan on the right.

Meaghan looking so sweet.
