Happy Halloween!

Since Shep is a little too young for trick-or-treating we decided to let Bea represent the family in the way of costumes. Shepherd is also somewhat dressed up if you count his New York Yankees PJs - thanks to our sweet friends the Sawyers! Tim just wishes we could be cheering the Yankees on in the World Series tonight. Maybe next year...

In other news, Shepherd is well on his way to being 4 months on November 10. He is learning to roll over from front to back and back to front. Since we found him on his belly one morning in his crib, we've had to let go of the beloved swaddle, but Shep has done great and continues to make it through most nights without having to wake up to eat. Here are some pics from the bouncy this morning. As you can see, it always brings tons of smiles!

Giggles

Shepherd got a big time case of the giggles today and we actually caught some of it on camera!

Firsts

Shepherd will be 3 months old this Sunday! It is amazing to see how much he has changed in such a short time. Over the past month he has experienced many "firsts." The last weekend of September we went to the Chicago area for Tim's cousin's wedding. Shep went on his first plane ride and did great! As you can see, he spent most of the time sleeping. Let me tell you, it is hard to get comfortable holding a baby in a tiny tiny airplane! He also had his first trip to Wheaton - our alma mater - where he met some of our friends, visited swim practice, and are at our old fave, Egglectic for breakfast (ok-he really just slept there).

Another big first was Shepherd's first day of daycare! Here he his in his first ever "first day of school" pic! He was very excited! Along with school came Shep's first cold. So sad, but he recovered pretty quickly and this will probably just be the first of many.


Lastly, here are just a couple cute pics for all of you who can't get enough!

Tummy time

The post wouldn't be complete without a Bea update. She is struggling to adjust to the new cool temps by spending her mornings on this very small pillow on our couch. Just so you know, she has 3 beds around our house but insists on trying to fit onto this pillow. Must make her feel cozy to act like she's small...
