Happy Halloween!

Adam really enjoyed Halloween this year! He decided what he wanted to dress up as and was really excited about trick or treating.

Pumpkin Express

The Fischers and the Apolds joined us for a ride on the Pumpkin Express out of Osceola. We took the train to a nearby town where they had a fun festival complete with games, food, tractors, jumpers, and pumpkins of course.

Fall Days

We had so many nice fall days and we made sure to get out and enjoy them! We visited the apple orchard, pumpkin patch, and did lots of playing in the leaves.

Evan - 1 month

Evan is one month! As fast as it has gone, it feels like he has been part of our family for much longer. Here's what he is up to:

• He is a sweet little guy. He is content as long as his tummy is full and not too gassy.
• He seems to have had his days/nights switched. He sleeps longer stretches in the day and is awake at night, not always wanting to sleep between feedings.
• Loves the pacifier.
• Has given us a few glimpses of his smile, and I imagine we'll be getting more and more of these soon.
• Still has lots of dark hair and kissable cheeks.
• Is pretty strong - he holds up his head well and is active moving his legs and arms.
• Travels well, both in the car and on our outings to the park in the stroller, etc.
• Eats well and weighed in at 8lbs 14oz at his 2 week check-up (a full pound above his birth weight).
• Receives lots of attention and kisses from all of us, especially Adam. He loves to hold Evan, kiss him, talk to him, play music for him, and retrieve his pacifier when he drops it.
  

Now, for a few pictures...

Resemblance?

When Adam was born, everyone commented on whether he looked like Aaron or myself. With Evan, everyone has commented on whether he looks like Adam or not. I found a few pictures to compare them at about the same age. What do you think? Is there a resemblance?

*Evan is pictured at the top of each of the two being compared.

Pictures of Evan

Here are some newborn pictures of Evan.  We even caught a few expressions where it looks like he is smiling.
