Pumpkin time!

Vivian has been obsessed with pumpkins.  We go on walks just so she can see all the pumpkins and count how many each person has by their front door.  I had wanted to take her to a pumpkin patch but with Easton being so little and dependent on me I didn't think it was going to happen until the Saturday before Halloween I saw an evite I had missed about my friend Becky's sons birthday party at pumpkin patch in Flower Mound.  The party was at 9:30 am and I was just seeing the evite at 6:30am that morning.  I made a quick decision that we were going and got Vivian dressed, Easton prepared for a few hours without mommy and out the door with a stop at Target to get Byron a birthday present.  Spencer's parents had stayed the night before in Dallas so Sherrie came with us to help out.  I thought Vivian's eyes were going to pop out of her head when she saw all the pumpkins.  We all got to go on a hayride to pick out a pumpkin to take home.  Vivian examined every pumpkin until she found the perfect one.  It was a little chaotic getting there but it was so worth it to see how much fun she had while there.

Halloween was so much fun this year.  Vivian loved picking out her costume which happened to be Minnie Mouse.  We met up with some friends and had a small pizza party before heading off trick or treating.  Vivian was scared at first, the idea of walking up to strangers houses seemed crazy but once someone handed her candy and she realized all she had to do was say trick or treat she was off knocking on every ones door.  Some of the houses she would walk up to, knock on the door and then run away. I had to remind her she had to stick around for the candy before darting off.  I couldn't believe how much candy she collected.  I let her have a few pieces and then sent the whole batch goodies to Spencer's office. I should never be left home alone with a bag of candy.

Easton is 2 months

Time is going by too fast.  Easton is two months old, Vivian is now 2  1/2 and I just went back to work.  Where does the time go?  Easton has been such a stud.  He smiles, sleeps, thunder poops and eats like crazy.  I started to freak out last week when what appeared to be a rash spread all over his face and upper body.  I thought he was having an allergy to something in my milk or to the formula I give him at night.  Turns out its just bad baby acne....I'm so ready for it to go away.  Other than that, he is a healthy growing boy.  At his appointment on Monday he measured 23" long and 12lbs 12oz.  He is quite the 2 month old. He is really holding his head up now and cooing at everyone who makes eye contact with him.  His sleeping patterns are so irregular.  The night before my birthday he slept for 9 hours straight and then two days after that he woke up every 3 hours.  We will get the hang of things eventually, hopefully sooner than later. 

Vivian loves her little brother.  She runs around the house looking for him in the morning and at night to give him his kisses.  He gladly welcomes them each time. She has really adjusted well to being a big sister.

Jolly baby

I think she is a little too big for the chair
