Phoenix at 1 Month

Check her out! She's getting cuter and chubbier by the minute. As of her 1st month check up she weighs 9 lbs 8 oz (53rd percentile) and is 22.5 inches long (85th percentile)--a 2 lb and 2 inch gain. She's long and lean like her brother and I think she has a thing for 2s: she was born in room 222 at 2:44 with a double rainbow in the sky. She's still pretty good at night and usually gets up just twice, though we've definitely had our share of long nights! We're getting there...

Getting ready to go out for dinner, which is still fairly easy to do since she usually sleeps whenever she's in her car seat.

Us girls.

Derek's mom and sister Kelly came up last weekend to meet Phoenix.

And of course hang with Fisher.

Phoenix and aunt Kelly.

Phoenix and grandma.

She slept through most of the visit.

Another family shot. It feels great to be a family of 4.

She's starting to smile and coo now (when she's not sleeping, or crying, or pooping)!

Fisher is all ready for winter. I can hardly get him to take off his boots.

Halloween and Home with Phoenix

The cutest pirate I've ever seen. He was so excited to go trick-or-treating. For weeks he'd been saying "be pirate, ring door-bell, trick-or-treat, get candy!"
Fisher is greeted by one of the neighbor's dogs.

We started trick-or-treating at some friends' houses. First stop was Kevin and Sue's.

Then he got a lollipop at Andy and Crystal's.

Hanging with some neighbor kids.

More trick-or-treating goodies.

Heading home with the pumpkin head loaded with candy.

Chilling with his sister.

Wearing their spooky shirts.

Checking out his haul.

One of the few pics of Phoenix with her eyes open.

Mostly she's sleeping, though that's changing now that we're into the 3rd week. I've been pretty lucky as she rarely wakes up more than twice at night.

Check out those lips and pointy chin.

She really is a beautiful, and so far a good baby.

Carving pumpkins.

Inspecting the guts.

Fisher is such a good sport even when his sister is fussy.

Yet another sleeping beauty pic. I can't believe how much she looks like Fisher did as an infant.

All scrunched up with D.

He's such a sweet brother. I think these two will have a lot of fun together.

Derek enjoying the little time he gets with Phoenix. When he's home he's usually playing with Fisher or waiting for me to finish nursing.

It is so much harder to get up and going in the morning now. We spend a lot of time in our jammies.

Derek with to the Packers/Vikings game a few weekends ago and because he went with the mayor he got to go on the field during warm up time. It was the loudest Lambeau has ever been--I could hear the screaming even at our house.

Watching Farve warm up.
