Happy Halloween!

I know, I'm a couple weeks late, but it's the best I can do considering that our precious little guy only naps for 30 minutes at a time. He's doing great otherwise. He has his moment's of fussiness, but we get through them.

October 30th marked my last day at work, and I'm officially a stay at home mom now! It really is challenging to be at home all day with him- I'm constantly fighting with him to get him to sleep. I'll rock him, bounce him, swing him, etc. for 45 minutes just to get him to sleep for 30. It makes for a long day. I'm actually looking forward to sleep training. I know it's going to kill me to "let him cry" but I know he needs to do it to get on a regular sleep schedule.

Halloween was celebrated on Sunday, November 2nd because Mike and I were at his cousin's wedding in New Jersey. We had a great night out while Mamie, Aunt Linda, Jocelyn and Grammy watched Daniel. Mamie and Aunt Linda both got up with him during the night for his feedings.

Daniel goes for his 4 month check-up the Monday before Thanksgiving. He's getting so big. He was weighed on 11/3 and is up to 14 lbs, 12 ozs. He's already growing out of his 3-6 month clothes!

We're looking forward to Thanksgiving at Mamie's house this year even though we're really going to miss the annual bash at Denise and Curt's.

Below are some pictures of our little pumpkin as well as a few odds and ends.
