This is Sasha at 10 weeks. She and Jack definitely look like brother and sister I think.

Jack! Jack!

Jack is 2 1/2 months old. Word around town is that Jack is starting to look so much like his big sister. I'll post a picture of Sasha at a similar age and you'll see it's true.

Halloween

Sasha wanted to be a ghost for Halloween. Sounds easy, right? Except who has a plain white sheet lying around that they want to cut up? I decided to see if I could sway her with a purchased lion costume and sure enough, there was no mention of a ghost after one look at that hat with a mane.

Sasha LOVED trick-or-treating this year. We had been practicing for several weeks leading up to the event at our own front door, so she had the "Trick-Or-Treat" and "Thank You" routine down pat. I am pleased to say that the last of the treats were consumed last week. No more begging for a piece of Halloween candy--Yay!
Here is Jack around 6 weeks old. We are pleasantly surprised by what an easy-going baby he is. He is very content to be held and watch the goings-on around him without much bouncing, singing, shushing, etc. He's on a great sleeping routine at night where we put him down easily at 7 pm and he sleeps 5-6 hours before his first night feed. He goes right back to sleep and is up 1-2 more times for a quick feed before waking for the new day around 6. His dark hair is slowly starting to grow in an "old man" pattern around the bottom of his head and his grey eyes are turning brown--no surprise there. He was almost 11 lbs. at his 2 month check-up (75th percentile)--this kid is solid.

Indiana Visitors

Phil's brother Ben and his family came out for a quick visit in October. Sasha had so much fun with her cousin Mary and still talks about her every day. Too bad we don't live closer! We went on a great hike to Tent Rocks one day. The girls did the 2 1/2 mile hike that involved a lot of rock scrambling almost entirely by themselves--real troopers.

Pumpkin Patch and Birthday

We all enjoyed a day at the local pumpkin patch that is really more like a cross between a county fair, amusement park, and farm. Sasha loved riding the little cow train pulled by a tractor, the huge slide (below) and of course the hayride to the pumpkin patch to find a pumpkin.

Phil baked me a sinfully declicious cake the weekend before my actual birthday. It was peanut butter cake with chocolate filling, cream cheese frosting, and Butterfinger topping. I justify all the calories with breastfeeding! He also played a great host to a group of my friends who came over to help me celebrate.

October

I'm far behind in my blogging along with all other aspects of my life these days. It's just SO much busier with 2 kids but SO much fun too. I never find myself bored like I did sometimes when I was staying home with just Sasha when she was a baby. Jack is about 5 weeks I think in these 2 photos.
