Theodore is 1 Month Old!

 My little man turned one month old already.

 I can't believe how much he has grown.

Size 2 diapers are already getting small.

This is my favorite one month picture. He is so handsome! He must get it from his Pa.



Sisterly Love

 These girls are great buds!

Sometimes they fight over toys, but they love each other.

 No one comes between them.

They are best friends!



Three Weeks

 The time goes by so fast! I can't believe that Theodore is getting so big and is almost a month old!

 Our little man is in the baby pimple stage... I am excited to get his smooth baby skin back.

We still think he is the cutest little boy we know!



Trick or Treat!

This is our little bat! The costume was great because it was nice and warm. It was quite a bit colder for Halloween in OH than in CA. At least it wasn't windy, and it was only really chilly for the last 30 minutes.

Marie and Claire were lady bugs! I think Marie has been a lady bug for the last couple years, but it has been a different costume each time. She doesn't remember the last Halloween, but I think she will remember this one. She had so much fun! We had a lot of fun watching her.

Little bat boy spent most of trick or treating like this. He slept like a champ. I only had to run home and feed him once during trick or tricking!

Our girls had a fantastic time. Claire just wanted to eat all the candy instead of putting it in her pumpkin. Marie loved running from door to door and getting the candy. If Claire had a piece in each hand, she just wanted to sit down and eat it. Marie was more excited to get a big stash. They both got a lot of candy. We must live in a good neighborhood because there were quite a few cars that drove to our area to go trick or treating! Happy Halloween!

Pretty Pumpkin

 We finally got around to carving our pumpkin on Halloween!

 The girls started helping get the seeds out, but then decided that the work was better left to Pa.

 We kept some seeds for our garden!

 The girls had a great time and were highly entertained.

Our end product! Pa did a great job! We also got enough pumpkin afterwards to make 12 pumpkin pies! We might need to have Scotty over a couple times in the near future...



More of Theodore

Theodore had some more visitors! My Mom and Lee were able to come visit too! This little man is quite popular. We were thankful for more help! It is always nice to see family.

I have decided that little jackets like this are just not very practical at the newborn age. He kept getting choked out, but he looked very cute! Maybe we're giving him early wrestling practice.

Another cute picture of Theodore sleeping. He does sleep a lot during the day... not so much at night. I try to keep him awake during the day, but he wants nothing to do with it. He is slowly getting better.

Another kiss from Claire. I tell the girls to leave him alone when he is sleeping... apparently, that doesn't include kisses.



Coming Home

Theodore's coming home outfit. He wasn't too excited about changing clothes and we were too excited to get home to wait for a good picture. I always dislike having to stay in the hospital... they were great, but I always feel like a prisoner when I know that I am not allowed to take my baby home at any time that I want.

 Theodore's first car ride. He slept through the whole 10 minute drive home. I love being so close.

The first Theodore with the newest Theodore. I was sad that I didn't get a picture of all three Theodores together! We'll have to get it the next time!

Claire and Marie were very excited to see their little brother again. Unfortunately, Marie and Claire were both sick and coughing up a storm. It was impossible to prevent Claire from giving kisses though... I am really hoping that little Theodore doesn't get sick too!

Look at how happy that Claire Bear is! She has got her natural mama skills like Marie.

This is what Claire looks like when you take her little brother away. I can't believe how huge Claire is compared to Theodore. He is going to be just as big in a year and a half! That's crazy!
