Happy Halloween!

Jeremiah had lots of fun on his first Halloween!  He had a couple Halloween outfits, so we tried them all out!  He wasn't feeling 100% today, since he got some shots yesterday, but he still enjoyed hanging out with Mommy, Daddy, and the terriers!  I must say - Jeremiah is a very cute pumpkin and the sweetest pea in the pod!  He was a hit with all of the trick-or-treaters!

Halloween Fun!

Happy Pumpkin!

BOO!!!

My sweet little pea in a pod!

Peeking Pumpkin!

Ready to go trick-or-treating!

Worn out!

Having fun with the neighbors!

The terriers got in on the fun too!  Annabelle was a squirrel, Baus was a motorcyle driver with a side car, and Brew was a cow!

Our little cow!

The sweetest squirrel!

 We hope your Halloween was as fun as ours!

Two Months Old!

 Time really flies by when you are having fun!  I can't believe my little man is two months old!!

Weight:

At your two month check up, you weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces!  

This puts you in the 32 percentile! You are definitely filling out, and I love your chubby legs!

Height:

22 1/2 inches long!

This puts you in the 36 percentile! I think you will be tall like Daddy!

Clothing Size:

We have started putting you in 0-3 month clothing!  It is still a little big, but the newborn is starting to get snug! You can still wear most newborn outfits, but you've grown out of most of the sleepers!

Diaper Size:

We've moved you up to size one diapers! Newborn still fits, but we ran out!  Instead of buying more, we opened the size ones - we have plenty of these, and you don't seem to mind!

Feeding:

You still have a great appetite!  During the day, you like to eat every 2 - 3 hours, with an occasional 4 hour stretch.  You get your last feeding between 10 and 10:30 p.m., and you will sleep until around 5 a.m.!

Hair/Eyes:

 Your hair is getting more of a red tint!  It is still light, and I've enjoyed watching it change.  Since birth, it has been very thin on top and thicker in the back - it is starting to fill in on top!  Your eyes are still blue(ish).  When you wear blue, they really stand out.  At other times they look a little gray.

Sleep:

You are a fantastic sleeper!  You've started sleeping 6-7 hours at night!  You love the mornings, and you go back to sleep for the afternoons!  You still sleep a lot!

Fun:

You are really starting to interact with us!  You little face lights up in the morning, and your smile melts my heart!  Your neck is getting so strong, and you like to look around.  You like your swing, but it has to be on the highest speed!  You like to be moving! You also love bath time!  You get so relaxed.  I think you are going to be a little fish one day!  You've also discovered your tongue, and you think it is pretty cool!

 Here are some pictures from the past month.

Happy Two Months Jeremiah!

Jeremiah's First Trip to the Aquarium!

While my mom, Nana, & Pappap were still in town, we decided to visit the Georgia Aquarium.  I hadn't visited the aquarium since Rin stopped working there, so I was excited to see the changes!  Our friends Nikki, Connor, & Callie met us there for a day of fun!  We all really enjoyed the dolphin show - it was really cool, and the dolphins are so talented!  My favorite exhibit is "Open Ocean" with the whale sharks.  I told Jeremiah that Daddy has been swimming in the big tank!  One day he'll think this is really cool!

Ready to go in my fish outfit!

Sleeping through the exhibits!

Callie and Connor enjoying the fish!

 It will be fun to take Jeremiah back!  He'll be interested in the exhibits before we know it!

Going to the Pumpkin Patch

After we celebrated Jeremiah's Baptism, we went to Uncle Shuck's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch!  It was so much fun, as we had family in town to have fun with us!  This was the cousins first outing together!

We had so much fun, and I can't wait to watch these sweet boys grow together!  

October 15

October 15 is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.  I've known about this day for 3 years now, as I became 1 in 4.  One in four pregnancies end in a loss, and I am included in this number.  Far too many babies are lost too soon, and I'm trying to do my part to remember and honor these little lives.

Every October 15, at 7 p.m. I light a candle in memory of all of the babies we lost too soon - especially my Jonathon Daniel.

We also have a brick in memory of our sweet Jonathon at our church.  I encourage you to do everything you can to honor and remember our babies!
