October has come and gone!

Owen had his 2 year checkup last week and he is doing great. I can’t believe my little boy is 2 years old already. He is learning new phrases everyday and he is so good at trying to say things. When we ask him to say a phrase like “There’s a snake in my boot.” He will get the main words across and say “snake, boot,” since he can’t remember the whole phrase. His birthday was fun. We had cake, opened presents and just spent the day together since a typhoon was making going outside impossible. We also went to DisneySea on Tuesday for his birthday and the kids loved it. We had dinner with Pluto, Mickey and Minnie. Owen loves Mickey and kept saying he wanted to see him but as soon as he did he just frowned. He wasn’t thrilled with any of the characters. He didn’t cry but he wouldn’t smile unless one of us was holding him. We got pictures taken when we were at Disney also and they of course came out great. We love Amanda and are going to miss her when she leaves in a couple weeks.

Vinny had his 4 month checkup a couple weeks ago and he too is doing great. He is a whole 14lbs now and 24 inches long. He started eating rice cereal; at first he didn't seem to like it but now he is getting very good at eating it and doesn't make faces everytime a spoon full enters his mouth lol. He is rolling over like a champ; you can’t keep him still long enough to change his diaper. The second your hand moves out of his way he is moving and then as soon as he is on his belly he starts to try and crawl. Right now he is an inch worm getting around places but at a very, very slow pace. I don’t think it will be long until he tries to lift himself to crawl. He also LOVES to stand whenever he can and like all Montemurro boys he can’t get enough of looking at himself in the mirror lol. Today Amanda took some pictures of just Vinny since we didn’t get many at Disney and I can’t wait to see them.

Blake is always making him laugh!

Blake is doing great in school. He is learning lots and brings home lots of school work and art projects. He isn’t very good at remembering his friends’ names, he only knows maybe 2 but everyone knows his name. All I hear is “Hi, Blake,” as we walk in. He is still excited about school and asks to go every day. He and Owen fight but they still love each other and play all the time. In the mornings I wake up to them laughing and playing. I don’t think he knows all about Christmas but he knows what the decorations and everything look like. It will be nice that he understands more this year and can help decorate and everything more than last year.

He is becoming a very handsome boy... he needs to stop that

We took the boys trick-r-treating on Sunday and they of course thought it was the best thing ever. We only took them to a few houses since they didn’t (and we didn’t) need that much candy especially with Owen’s birthday cake sitting in the fridge. They looked adorable in their costumes and were asking to wear them every day.
