Halloween Time!!!

The weather has definitely changed.  It's much colder, the leaves have fallen off the trees, and for some reason people are craving sugar.

Since Corwin was born on October 7th, Halloween will mark his very first social event.  As you can see, we've already had fun snapping a few pictures of him with pumpkins.  He's a very convincing pumpkin, and you really have to look to tell which one is him, and which one was actually grown outside.

While Sydney will dress up as Merida, the courageous young lady with bright red hair from the movie Brave, Corwin decided to go with the much more simplistic concept of being a baby.  He's been in his costume all month, and I must say he's pulls it off very convincingly.  Actually, he may wear his little Frankenstein outfit, or simply continue to support his festive 'pumpkin look.'  I, on the other hand, will go as a very low functioning and sleep-deprived parent...something I am sure to pull off convincingly, too.

It's only been three weeks since his arrival, but it's clear he's already established some favorite activities.  Sleeping would top that chart.  He is part koala bear and he likes to make sure that his sleep is always maximized.  Karen would just say he's checking for light leaks in his eyes.  It'll be fun to see what other fun activities he prefers.

Big Sister Sydney has been great.  She always wants to hold him, talk to him, read him books, and help change his diaper.  We'll enjoy this as long as possible, or at least until the days of, "Dad, he's touching me again...he's not sharing...he's in my room..., etc.  But for now we couldn't ask for more from Sydney.  Auntie Jillian recently sent a great present that is perfect.  One shirt that says "baby brother Corwin" and one that says "big sister Sydney" (see below).  We look forward to them wearing their outfits.

Corwin has been able to meet many of the new family members...Great Grandma and Great Grandpa, Papa and Gigi, Grandma, and Grandpa.  And while he's also been able to meet many new friends, he's looking forward to meeting even more.  Well, much more to come, but this is the most I could muster on very little sleep.  Until next post, have a great weekend!!!
