Happy Halloween

Raleigh was a fire fighter. August was "baby Raleigh". (Sorry, August, but if you took longer naps, maybe your mother would have had time to finish your costume!)





We trick or treated on our street, ate dinner, then we watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" and even let Raleigh have some of his candy. ...after eating chocolate-covered apples with breakfast. What an exciting day! ;)

Birthday Bath








Two Months Old!

We survived another month. Nothing major to report. August is staying awake about an hour and a half between naps. We are being a little strict on the sleep routine and then try to put him down drowsy and have him drift off to sleep on his own. It works about half the time.

August also really seems to enjoy playing. When we put him down on his baby gym, he smiles and squeals a little. He also likes to interact with us with baby talk.

August's two month appointment is on Halloween. Like with Raleigh, we're keeping August at home with a few exceptions until he has his 2 month immunizations.

Big Smile for Big Brother





Tummy Time!

We've been hitting the baby gym and tummy time mat pretty hard, but this is more of a perfectly timed photo than an accurate representation of August's head control.

Race Car Driver

It's dress up week at school. Today is favorite sport day. Our friends had given Raleigh just the right outfit....



Raleigh was holding August this morning and in a sweet little voice said, "I'm going to be a race car driver just like Steve!" Now for Halloween, Raleigh wants to be a race car driver and wants daddy to be a race car driver and wants mommy to be a race car. Raleigh said he is going to be the driver and daddy will be the rider next to him and that they'll need to wear helmets "for safety". ...then he wanted to drive the corvette to school.

First Smile

August was all smiles after his nap this morning.


Now mommy is going to spend the rest of the day trying to get a picture that is in focus...
