The Family and Halloween

One week old already! I think all she's done is sleep. She's really good at it! We are all adjusting to a new member in the family. I think we're all a little tired, but otherwise we're doing great!

Sadie snuggled in her car seat.


Eli being gentle with Sadie. He's getting better, but he's really testing us. He was really bouncing Sadie in the bouncy seat. It took him 6 "No, Eli. Don't bounce Sadie so hard. Gentle." each with a one minute time-out in the crib before he finally figured out he wasn't supposed to bounce Sadie so hard. And then again this morning it started all over again...

Eli in the bouncy seat. Look at the drool. He just got in his eye teeth and he has a little cold. Poor thing.


Sadie and mom.


Eli helped dad carve a pumpkin. He didn't want anything to do with the guts, but he had no problems holding the knife like a wild man. Luckily, it was one of those safety knives.


Eli was a fierce tiger for Halloween. We did a little trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and there was a party at the community center where he got a bucket full of candy. He got to eat his very first sucker. I think he died and went to sugar heaven. He was a sticky mess. He liked it so much he tried to eat the wrapper and the stick. Needless to say, the candy is put away for mom and dad to eat!
