1st Birthday and Some Trick or Treating

Happy first birthday my sweet boy!  I still can't believe how fast this year has flown by.  And oh, it's Halloween too!  We woke Barrett up with a little singing and of course he was all smiles (even though he had an ear infection and junk in his eyes).  He spent the day with his friends Heidi and Charlie and then met up with the whole Anderson family for some trick or treating.  While out in the neighborhood we met up the other Andersen family for some more Halloween fun. 

Barrett kept his costume on the whole time and loved riding in the wagon with his friends! Thanks to everyone who helped make Barrett's day so special.

Cousin Reid is always so sweet with Barrett

Attempt at a group shot.  Kinda hard with four littles!

All Barrett wanted to do was play with the pumpkins!

Pumpkin Patchin'

I wanted to get my cute little Halloween baby in some pumpkins for a few pics.  I didn't think he would appreciate the full pumpkin patch experience since he is so little, so we decided to opt for a cute little pumpkin sale at a church down the street from us.  Never did I think Barrett would be so mesmerized by all the bright, orange pumpkins!  We could not even get him to look up for a quick pic  because he was trying to pick up and touch every single pumpkin.  It was a perfect place for our little pumpkin to play!

Walking!!

Barrett first started is road to walking in September.  He took three steps to Travis at the end of September.  By the first week of October he stood up and took three steps all by himself.  We new he could do it, he just had to gain some confidence.  Just a few weeks later he was independently walking all over the house and he hasn't stopped since!  We are so proud of our little boy, and he is so happy cruising!

So Proud

Travis began his career at Delta Companies in August 2013 as an intern.  Since then, he has moved to full time and switched roles twice.  He is now in charge of VMS and doing wonderfully!  I got a text from Jeff letting me know that Travis was winning an award at the quarterly sales meeting.  Jeff helped me get to the meeting to see my hard working hubby accept the award.  It was so hard keeping a secret from Travis for a few days, but totally worth it to see the look on his face!  I couldn't be more proud of my Direct Service award winner!

11 Months

Almost to the big one!  Barrett is growing and changing so much these days.  He is really starting to lose the baby and start looking like a toddler.  

This month has been a big one for our little boy, as he getting ready to be on the move.  I'll post about his adventures in walking soon!  He is starting to eat more and more and even started the transition from bottle to milk.  Barrett is also talking up a storm.  He loves to babble, but the words we mostly understand are mama, dada, and ball.  We can't wait for our little one to turn one and celebrate with our friends and family!

Got this great shot of my smiling boy on the first shot! 

On the move!

12th Man

Barrett is starting to stand longer and longer independently and has even taken a lone step!  I was able to snap a few pics while we were cheering for the Aggies on Saturday.  I like to think he is just practicing for all the games he will have to stand for as an Aggie 12th Man!

Texas Fight!

The Aggie in me hates to post pics of my sweet little guy in burnt orange, but the love for my husband exceeds the hate!  Being a house divided, Travis and I take turns dressing Barrett in our school colors every Saturday.  Here are a few pics of my little one cheering for his Daddy's favorite team!

Grandpa bought Daddy this special beer from Austin!
