Adjusting and Trick-or-treating

Things have been going well and we are adjusting to being a family of 4. Things are much easier the second time around. Maybe I am more relaxed, realize the sleepless nights won't last forever, or a little bit of both! Riley is only waking up once or twice a night. Most nights she only wakes up once at 4. She is a pretty happy baby. I am nursing her, but she wants to eat about every hour and a half. We are trying to get it longer between feedings. Reese is such a good big sister. She helps me bathe her, wants to hold her everyday, and loves to get things for her. The only adjustment we have had with Reese is bedtime. She used to lay down after 2 books without an argument, but now it's taking alot longer. She does finally go to bed on her own after about 30 minutes and sleeps through the night. We haven't been out much, but when we have it takes forever to get both girls ready and out of the house.I think when I go back to work it might be a little crazy at first. We are blessed to have 2 beautiful, healthy girls. Riley is already growing way too fast for me!
Sisters!







Reese really enjoyed Trick- or-Treating this year. We have been praticing the week before. Reese knocked at each door and said Trick-or-treat and thank you all of her own. She was so proud of all of her loot. Riley slept in the stroller the whole time.

Before Trick or Treating

Reese's First haircut

Reese got her first haircut last week. I want her hair to get really long, but it hasn't grown in a while and was getting stringy at the ends. I thought a trim might make it more healthy. My friend Ann recommended a place called Pigtails and Crewcuts. We had a great experience there. Reese got a cute certificate with her picture and first curl. We have already framed it. I was nervous how she would do because she is drama queen when I fix her hair, but she did great. She loved sitting and driving the yellow car. I was so proud of my big girl!!!

Halloween Fun!!

We have been busy doing pumpkin activities. Here are some pictures.











First attempt at Pumpkin patch. We got rained out and had to try again.




My Tinkerbell and Pumpkin Princess before our neighbors Halloween party. We couldn't find an outfit small enough for Riley and figured she wouldn't trick or treat this year.

Go Texans

Here are some pictures of the girls in their Texans outfits. Yes, I love to dress the girls alike. I know I won't get to forever, but when I get to choose I think it's precious. Chris actually loves when they dress alike also. They had already lost their bows in their pictures together. Little girls are so much fun!!
