I'm a little late in putting these up..........Here are some highlights of the night:
We went over to the Owen's house to let the boys see each other in costume. They decided throwing pumpkins down the steps was much more entertaining than posing for pictures!
Miles was an ant. Most people thought spider. I can't say I blame them. We tried for the correct anatomy with 6 legs and antennae, but I couldn't get him to wear the abdomen.
Liam was my little pumpkin.
Miles eventually got the hang of trick-or-treating. At first house (thankfully owned by an understanding 1st grade teacher) Miles tried to go inside and then threw a fit when she put a Winnie the Pooh pen in his bucket. I guess he was ticked off that it wasn't candy! He was fine after that, but did try to go into all the houses. We went to 7 houses in the neighborhood. He kept saying, "just one more!"
I don't think Miles has really ever had candy before that night, not much anyway. When we told him he could pick something out, he didn't quite know what to think. He ended up enjoying a lollipop WAY too much!
Liam was a good little baby and slept through almost everything. Next year will be interesting with a one year old and three year old!
Remember Miles' reaction at his 2nd birthday party when he opened the violin from his Grandpa? He still loves it and recently learned how to hold it under his chin while also holding the bow. He loves music and is fascinated by all instruments. He enjoyed playing a little accordion at Mast the other day and we debated buying it for Christmas. No Steve Urkel jokes allowed if we do!
Liam playing air guitar.
Our sweet little (actually not so little) Liam turned 2 months old on Thursday. It's hard to believe and a little bittersweet. He's already outgrown so many clothes, some that he never even wore. The reason being he has already almost doubled his birth weight. At his appointment on Thursday he weighed one ounce shy of 15 pounds (off the percentile chart) and was 24.5 inches long (90th percentile). He smiles all day long and has the sweetest disposition. The hanging toys on his playmat entertain him endlessly, but his favorite thing to do is sit in Mommy or Daddy's lap and stare at us. It's one of our favorite things to do too.
