Our Little Pumpkin

I really can't believe November is tomorrow. That is just too crazy and time is flying by. Derek is getting bigger by the day and I couldn't NOT dress him up this Halloween. He was the cutest, fluffiest pumpkin. He wore his little outfit 3 times: 1 for our Church Halloween party, another for a playgroup that I go to, and a third for Todd's work. He actually didn't fuss one bit while wearing the costume. Here are just a few pictures of our little pumpkin

It's raining, it's pouring...

It's been raining all day today. I actually don't mind the occasional down pour and considering it hasn't rained here in a while, it's good for the plants. And, normally, having a little cold with stormy weather would be a delightful excuse to curl up on the couch and rest the day away. That goes out the window with a baby and a dog who loves to be outside. Dog + wet outside = muddy dog. Not in the mood to tackle that one today. Hopefully it stops enough later this afternoon to take Fletch on a good walk. It would be good for all of us.

This is about how we are all feeling right now...

Recovering

Sick Days

Well, Todd, Derek, and I all managed to get a pretty bad chest cold this weekend and we are not loving it one bit. Lots of saline squirts and bulb syringing Derek's little nose...poor baby. On a more positive note, here are some recent pictures of our little one...Can you believe he is almost 3 months?!

If he could, his whole fist would be in his mouth

2 month check

Derek had his 2 month check up the other week and he is a growing boy! These are his most recent stats:

Weight: 12 lbs 2 oz
Height: 23 1/2 inches
Head circumference: 41 cm

He is changing every day and I can't believe that in just a couple of weeks he will be 3 months old! How time flies
