Davis Loves His Toes

Hello Everyone!

Davis has discovered his toes! Now when I'm changing his diaper, he grasps his toes and holds on (which is actually quite helpful). He seems to really love just playing with his feet and rolling around on the carpet - actually, that doesn't sound like a bad way to spend a day.

I'm actually trying to get Davis sitting up by himself more. I have to confess, with Jason out of town a lot, Davis doesn't get the "tummy time" or other things like that. As long as London and Davis are happy and I can cross as many things off of my to do list as I can, we're good to go. I don't think too much about anything else.

Anyway, all of that to say, that Davis is about 1.5 pounds away from growing out of the infant carrier seat and it would be very nice if, when that happens, he was able to sit up on his own. If he's not, it'll be interesting to see how grocery shopping and those types of trips go..... we shall see.

Every Child Needs To Have

London has been fighting a cold the last few days. We've (I keep saying that, but really it's, "I've") got her fever under control and now I'm just dealing with a runny nose and a happy child who has moments of great emotional distress (due to not feeling well).

This morning I was on the phone and quickly hung up because I head London crying her "something is seriously wrong cry", only to find out she wanted to watch Mickey Mouse, not Handy Manny.........

I did manage to start my Christmas baking, which I am very excited about. However, between that, pureeing things for Davis to eat, and making meals, I feel like I never leave the kitchen. Oh well, there are worse places a person could be.

More Davis Pics

This first picture is of Davis playing with his new toy from Grandpa Schween. I know that you can't really see the toy; however, I think the great smile is more fun to look at. Thanks grandpa for the present (and happy belated birthday as well:)

Here is another picture of Davis in his lion costume. We actually had this costume from London's first Halloween. We were joking that since Davis and London look so similar as babies, that if we forgot to take pictures, we would just show Davis a picture of London dressed up as the lion and tell him that it was him. Although; Davis often has his toungue sticking out, and I really don't remember London doing that (not as regularly anyway), so I guess that that would be a give away as to which baby is in the picture. We did remember to take some pictures, though, so we're safe this time.

Halloween

Some friends of ours came over with their kids last night and we took them out trick-or-treating. I wasn't sure about how it would go; however, we had SO MUCH FUN! The kids quickly picked up on the fact that when they knocked on doors, people opened up and gave them candy; they were soon running from door to door! I know that I'm biased, but they were pretty darned cute! The sun was shining, it wasn't too cold, all in all, a perfect evening.

Davis actually was sleeping while we were out and so I put him in his costume for the two minutes that it took for us to take this picture (he won't ever know if you don't tell him:)
