Got Milk?

We do. As we helped set up for a kids Halloween event on post, Piper could not contain her sillies. She loves to be milk and everyone loves her as such. Apparently it's a pretty original costume because everyone wanted a glass! She can't hardly wait to go trick or treating and I can't hardly wait to raid her bag of goodies. I consider it my right of passage. As my mom used to say, let me just make sure this piece isn't poisonous...

Halloween Time

Here we are in the middle of October. It's hard to believe I was still pregnant with Miles 3 short weeks ago. Well, we are gearing up for Halloween time, which is what Piper calls it. We took the kids to Owatta Farms where we picked a pumpkin, played duck race and jumped on this bouncy contraption. Miles is healthy and plumping up little by little. He is not sleeping much during the night, which has made daytime a challenge for all of us. An extreme lack of sleep causes us to do silly things like try to fit baby heads in our mouths. Nope, too big...

Yesterday Miles had his first checkup since we left the hospital. Our new pediatrician is a sweet and very intelligent older Jewish man. Every time we see him he kisses Miles on the head and says "He's so cute. God bless him." He told us that Miles is doing fine and that he is doing especially well gaining weight. As far as we can tell our new baby is pretty laid back. He is a great sleeper, eater and only complains when he is hungry or cold. He makes funny dragon noises and has the sweetest facial expressions. Broc and I stare at him for long periods of time, soaking up his babyhood while we can.
