Halloween 2011

This was Elizabeth's first Halloween, she had fun watching her big sister run from house to house getting tons of candy. Emily loved Halloween this year, Emily and her Grandmas have been practicing how to trick or treat for months :) After a few houses she knew exactly what to do. We found it funny when I looked into Emily's bucket of candy and it was almost full and then I looked at her friend Carly's bucket and it was barely 1/4 full...Kevin says it means she is going to be successful. I think she just loves candy :)

Busy Weekend with the Girls

This weekend we had a lot to do. On Saturday it was Codys 1st birthday and on Sunday it was the Meet and Greet for Elizabeth. We had a great time at both and it was fun to visit with our friends and family. It was nice to have everyone meet Elizabeth, she enjoyed being passed around and held by everyone. Emily had a lot of fun too, she played with Grandpa and went next door to Barbara's house and played with her toys too. It was a great party that my mom planned for Elizabeth!

Pumpkin Patch

We took the girls to Daves Pumpkin Patch today. Emily was really excited. She is really getting into Halloween this year, I think its the first holiday she really understands. Both Grandmas taught Emily to knock on the door and say trick or treat, so she likes to practice that. She cant wait to dress up and get candy! Into the maze!
Me and my girls!

Elizabeth Rae 1 Month

Elizabeth Rae is now one month, time has really flown by. She is doing great, at 2 weeks she was weighing in at 8.4lbs and we found out she was measured wrong in the hospital (a common mistake) she is 20 3/4 inchs. At 3 weeks she weighed 9.5 lbs, she is definitely eating very well! She is very strong and holds her head up very well. She is sleeping good at night, waking once during the night after 5-7hrs and once early in the morning, I hope it continues. She likes to be in the swing, my moby wrap and LOVES to bounce, bouncing make her not cry. Her fussy time is from 7pm-9pm, but if it helps her sleep its ok. Emily loves being a big sister and likes to give Elizabeth toys and will say "its ok" or "dont cry" if Lizzy is crying. It is very sweet to see the two of them together. At two weeks we took the girls to get there pictures done together, Im sure first of many.
