Smiley Girl

Our sweet girl is five weeks old and has started to give us smiles on a regular basis. It is so precious. Now I'm ready for some giggles. There is nothing better than the sound of a baby laughing! In other news, she is sleeping really well usually only waking up once to eat then going right back to bed. She is spoiling me!

Diggin Rocks

Yesterday, we were driving to town and passed the beet dump and a sugar beet truck headed to the factory. Aiden and I started talking about when he got to ride in the tractor with Grandpa Bill during beet harvest. I also told him how we dig up the beets and they go to the factory to make sugar. So really, Grandpa Bill grows sugar. Aiden piped up and said "No, Grandpa Bill grows rocks." At first, I was a little puzzled but then, after I thought about it, the beets do kind of look like rocks covered with dirt. So, the whole beet season, everytime Aiden went in the tractor he thought he was digging up a whole field of rocks. At lease he had fun doing it. I still can't convice Aiden that they aren't rocks. He says "the other tractors dig sugar beets but Papa Bill grows rocks...BIG rocks!"

Sling Thing!

I just had to post a picture of Kaylen in her sling. She loves this thing and so do I. It usually puts her right to sleep and frees up my hands to do whatever needs done! Yeah!

Three weeks

It has been three weeks already-how the time flies. She continues to be a pretty good baby especially since we have solved some of her belly ache issues. We live off lots of gas drops and there are a few things that I have found I can't eat (chocolate being one of them...what a bummer). Aiden continue to love her to pieces and gives her kisses all the time as evidence by the pictures. Kaylen seems to have the Cox water bug genes as she LOVES her baths. In fact, the only time she cries is when she has to get out!

Happy Halloween!

.

Halloween 2008 was a great success. This weather was great, the costumes near perfection and we all had a great time. This was Aiden's first year of really understanding how trick or treating worked. It was very cute to watch. We did the downtown trick or treat run and every stop we made he would quietly say "trick or treat" and follow it with a big thank you. He made me so proud with his excellent manners. He ended up with a huge bag of candy...I think he is just now coming off the sugar high. He was SO excited to be Batman. We have probably put the costume on 20 times in the last few weeks. All day he was running around the house singing the Batman theme song. He had a blast.

Kaylen practically slept through the whole thing, but she looked darn cute doing it! The tutu will definitely go into her box of childhood treasures for her to open someday in the future. I hope it will bring a smile to her face as it sure did ours!
