Ten Weeks Old - 1st Halloween

We are ten weeks old.

We are not babies anymore! Soon we will be giggling and trying to crawl. We weigh a lot and have double (maybe even triple!) chins. We make lots of "talking" sounds and smile more and more. We talk the most when we get into our cribs in the evening. Mommy thinks we are talking to each other, but we won't tell her what we're saying!

We are eating up a storm! Luckily for mommy we are eating more formula now so she is being spared. She is doing lots of pumping so that we can have rice cereal at every meal in a bottle. This has helped to slow down the vomitorium of a few weeks ago.

We have been spending more time in our Baby Bjorns and have gotten used to the idea. We can take a very nice nap while riding in them now. Much better than the first time we tried them at the Pumpkin Patch. Mommy and daddy wear us in them while they do work, wash dishes, eat breakfast, etc. It keeps us close at hand, keeps us upright after eating, and lets them use both of their hands. Don't tell them we told you this, but they can even use the bathroom while we are strapped into them!

We have finally begun to outgrow our Newborn sized clothes and are starting to wear the 0-3 month outfits. We can't wait to wear our jeans!

On Halloween we went with mommy to her office to meet all of her co-workers during their Halloween breakfast party. That was fun! We wore our Old Navy Halloween Onesies. Vladi pooped on his by the time we got home and that was the end of our Halloween outfits. Next year we will dress up for real!

At night we handed out candy with mommy and daddy until they ran out at 7:00. There were lots and lots of kids trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. Then we went out to visit all of the neighbors in their colorful costumes. It was quite an evening. We stayed out past our bedtime - but we had to make our adoring fans happy. What's a popular pair of babies to do?

This week we also met our Great Aunt Noreen who is visiting from Colorado. She is so cool!

Here are some pictures of us this week. Including some with Daddy on Halloween.
