Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! As the weather around us changes and the leaves are falling off the trees, it's hard to believe the end of October is here and November is upon us! Where did the time go? John is now eight weeks old and just had his two month check-up Wednesday. He is doing well! He is now 23 1/4 inches long and 12 lbs 5 oz. He did fairly well with his four shots (which were hard for both John and Mom). Even after the trauma of the shots, he was still his normal, mild-mannered self, but just a bit more cuddly for the last couple of days. He wasn't phased for too long!



Last weekend, John had quite the social calendar! Our entire immediate family was able to be with us to celebrate John's Baptism, baby shower, and my dad's birthday. It was wonderful to be able to spend time with everyone and have them be able to see John, since most of our siblings are not home often. John was a great baby during all of the "off schedule" happenings!

So tired...that was hard work getting that Baptismal gown on!

What a cute family!!

The Godparents!
All of John's aunts and uncles...except Crystal! We missed you!

And John's proud grandparents....

The whole family! Again, we missed, you, Crystal!

Thanks to Steve and Katie, we're starting John's Johnnie pride early!!!

The cute diaper cake Jeanna and Mike made for the shower!!
They could be professionals!

Over the last few weeks John has started to smile more and "talk" and coo to us. He LOVES his diaper to be changed and still enjoys his cuddle time! He is so alert now during the day and is sleeping better at night too! He even had a few nights this week with 6 hours of sleeping at a time! I felt like a new woman!! Every day it's amazing to watch him discover new things and focus more on things around him. He is so easily entertained. I always wonder what is going on in that little head of his.... He will be able to vocalize that soon enough!


For Halloween, John was a very cute little mummy. We decided not to do a traditional costume because he was so little, but thought he was pretty precious anyway!


We hope you enjoy your Halloween night!! Don't be too frightened by all those little goblins out there!
