Jeepin' 2.0

Matt's gotten much better at driving since the first video.  It took me a while to find the right music for this one, but I think I nailed it.

Enjoy Jeepin' 2.0

Halloween 2011

Another successful Halloween, the first one with two children.  Matt was going to be Farmer Brown, and Lily a cow, but in the ensuing mayhem of trying to get two kids organized Matt wound up a Monkey during trick or treating and Lily never made it all the way into the cow costume.

We did however get out and trick or treat with Matt from my parents house and he got enough candy to sugar rush him every day for about 3 months.
Trick or Treat practice run!

We went out to the pumpkin patch the week before, and Matt and I carved up the pumpkins last Sunday night.  (Nothing like waiting until the last minute huh?)

Swinging with GranDan

He looks way to natural sitting there doesn't he?

"I got one guys!"

First step, assemble the correct tools for pumpkin carving.

Pumpkin guts!

The pumpkin collection

We bought the big pumpkin with the idea that we could drop Lily in there for some cute pictures.  The first attempt was Sunday right after we carved them.  Lily was not amused
Unhappy baby! 

 Luckily she was in a better mood on Halloween and Jamie got some good pictures.
Hmmm... This pumpkin might have been too big.

A little padding helps.

Time for a nap.

Lily continues to grow, she saw the doctor last week, and is now 10lbs 14oz and 22.25in long.  This kid is much more of a crier than Matt ever was, and for the most part isn't happy unless someone is holding her, usually in combination with walking or bouncing her on the exercise ball.

Passed out baby.

Car rides are especially rough. This is how Matt has to ride in the car.
"Make her stop!"

We do get a few minutes a day in the bouncy chair.

Between the 18 hours a day of sleeping and the 5.5 hours of crying, we get 1/2 hour every day of this kid.
Happy Girl!

Poppy investigating during a quite baby moment.

Matt's new favorite discovery, root beer in the bottle.  One bottle lasts about a week.  Pretty nasty by the end...
