A Day of Rest & Halloween Prep

With just three days to Halloween, William has been enjoying playing "itch" and wearing his "ee-een" shirts. With Halloween outfits from Mary Kate, William, and Addison, Anna Claire has been covered for every day of the week on her Halloween attire.  Anna Claire has been such a good baby so far - not really crying until after she was two weeks old and even then only if she is hungry and we didn't hear her grunts.  Until this week, she hadn't cried with colic but last night was her worst night yet:  She was up every hour except for the 11th and 7th.  I was thankful both she and William slept in until 8:20.

William also enjoyed opening a package from his Nanny Stacey.  He loved his Halloween gift but wasn't too interested in Anna Claire's gift.  Mom Mom & My Dad thought it was too cute.

At 3pm, both kids were actually sleeping, and it went smoothly!

The end of Anna Claire's 2nd week: Just us 4

 MeMaw left this morning for the drive home.  The boys make Mommy breakfast:  We're all up early and the air is crisp.

William makes eggs in his pot.

William really really likes Annabelle holding his "tumb"

He really is a good big brother: Loves to help and trys to tend to her.

William's feet have been bothering him...so we went shopping for a size 9 in his shoe stash.  Good thing Mommy shops ahead.

Annabelle Claire at 2 weeks old

Today, Mommy, MeMaw, and William took Anna Claire to her 2 week appointment.  She has been doing quite a bit of growing the past two weeks.  She is now 20 and 3/4 inches long (20 inches at birth); 7lbs, 15oz (7lbs,8.4oz at birth); and her head is 1/2 inch larger too.

Georgia State Fair

Daddy took William to the Georgia State Fair, which just happened to be near our new home.  William came home stinky and happy - glowing that he had fed the giraff a carrot, watched the pig races, seen sea lions, and held the baby joey (really a Wallaby but who cares with a face like that).

While the boys went to the fair, the girls stayed home and rested.  Definitely a time Mommy wished she was there or had sent the camera...
