October fun

October is here! My favorite month! I love Halloween! Auntie Ellen and Uncle Steve (and cousins) came for a visit. Haidyn got a beautiful Ariel (for those of you who don't know... she's a Disney princess) costume, with the gloves, tiara, wand and even sparkly shoes! So guess what Haidyn is going to be for Halloween? :) We still need to get Eli something. I think it will be a last minute costume that's fit for the weather. Who knows what it will be like on that day.

Eli is one day shy of 3 weeks. Wow! It goes by so fast! He gave me a nice little present last night. Sleep! Yay! He ate at 8pm, I tried putting him down at 8:45, but he ended up wide awake. He hung out with Daddy until almost 10 when I fed him again, but he didn't eat much and crashed. I thought for sure he'd be up in an hour to eat again, but he was down until 2:40. Another feeding and diaper change and he was down at 3:15 and slept again until 7am. Woo hoo! Only one feeding during the night! NICE!

Haidyn is... well, Haidyn. :) She's a great big sister and loves her little brother. It will be great when he's a little older and can actually interact with her.
She's doing fantastic in school. Loves it and is so smart! We originally weren't going to put her in preschool until she was 4, but I think it was a good move getting her started now. She's so smart and observant that the extra educational attention she's getting at school is good for her.
I asked her the other day what she wants to be when she grows up and she told me a builder. Guess she hasn't changed her mind yet on that. But then she told me she wants to be the one holding the sign so the cars stop while they're building something. :) I thought all little girls wanted to be ballerina's or princesses when they grew up?
