Happy Halloween

My beautiful little bumble bee…

and super cute little sack-of-taters…

1 Month

My babies are growing up so fast!  I took thousands of pictures of Ella when she was a baby, but I never took pictures using the same object to see how much she had grown.  I have a good friend that uses a chair to take pictures of her daughter every month and since Ella & Evan both have PBK everywhere chairs, I had to steal her idea!  So, I started taking pictures of Evan this month in his big red chair.  He looks so little in it!

It’s so hard to believe that Evan is already a month old!  He is growing so fast!  When we left the hospital, he weighed 6 lbs and 14 oz. and at his 1 month checkup he weighed 9 lbs. 1 oz.  He’s starting to get those cute baby rolls!!  I have been blessed with such a sweet and content baby!  He hardly cries at all!!  He loves to snuggle and be held close…he’s a good nap buddy!  We are finally getting a little more sleep at night…up every 4 hours instead of every 2 hours!!   Here’s what else is going on with Evan at 1 month…

• wears size 1 diapers and starting to outgrown his newborn clothes and wearing some 0-3 month clothes
• loves swinging (he sleeps much better in his swing than in his bassinet!)
• he will follow Ella’s voice all over the room (he knows that little voice that talked to him for 9 months!)
• found his thumb to suck (just like his Uncle Matt)
• loves his Nuk Genius paci
• LOVES bath time and being naked
• Mommy thinks you look like your Daddy (you have his little round head and ears!) 

 

I’m So In Love…

…with these sweet babies!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Ella’s preschool class went on their annual Pumpkin Patch field trip to the Wilson Farm.  It was a rainy morning, but it didn’t keep us away.  We had so much fun spending the morning with Ella’s preschool friends and their parents!

Ella’s Preschool Class~they were all looking different ways and some of them were playing with the pumpkins and I couldn’t get all of them in the picture :) 

Side note:  Ella wouldn’t wear her blue school shirt because she said it didn’t match her shoes?!  We’re in trouble!!!

Riding the hay ride that took us to the apple orchard for some yummy apples!!

Ella & Miss Sharon (Ella’s BFF!)  Miss Sharon joined us on our pumpkin patch field trip!  We love her and can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our kids!!!

Ella picked out a pumpkin for Evan!  It was the smallest one she could find :)

Show & Tell

During “E” week at preschool, Ella wanted to take her little brother for show & tell.  Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Williams gave out admission tickets to all Ella’s classmates to meet Evan.  Ella was so excited about taking her little brother to preschool.  The kids were all excited and Evan did so good!  All the kids said they wanted a baby brother…sorry Moms!!

Wacky Tacky Day

Ella got all dressed up for Wacky Tacky Day at preschool.  When I was getting her dressed she kept telling me she didn’t match!  It was so funny!  I had to convince her that it was okay not to match for Wacky Tacky Day.  Everybody loved her tutu…one little girl told her mom that she liked Ella’s “cupcake!”  Haha!!  After preschool, we had to make a quick trip to Walmart and Ella insisted on going in completely dressed (tutu and all!) in her “wacky wear.”  She was quite the attention getter…she told everybody we passed that she was “wacky!”  I think she is one cute wacky, tacky gal!!!!
