Happy Halloween!

Gibson trick-or-treating!

Trick-or-treating at the Boo Review downtown

On our way to trick-or-treat at houses - does Batman take naps??

Happy Halloween!! Grayson had so much fun this year. Of course our favorite thing right now is Batman so of course that was the costume and he has been wanting to wear it ever since it came in. Finally the day arrived and he woke up and said "you kow what today is... it's trick-or-treat day!" And he wore his costume ALL DAY! and then got up this morning and put it back on!! We took him to the Boo Review downtown and then later on in the evening we went to a trunk-or-treat at my Grandma's church and then went to a few houses. I kept asking him if he was ready to quit and he kept saying he just needs more candy, I didn't think trick-or-treating was ever gonna end!!! Oh well, he had a lot of fun this year. Gibson on the other hand didn't much care, he slept in his stroller while we did the Boo Review and he stayed home with Great Grandma for the second round.

Gibson is growing so much - getting very big, his 2 month appt is next week so I'll update with that later. He has really started smiling a lot, too cute, and just today has really started "talking". I can't believe it's already been 8 weeks. I started back to work last week(just 2 days a week) so Grayson and Gibson both go to Nanny's on Monday and Wednesday. It worked out pretty good last week. I think Grayson was glad to see all his friends again and show off his little brother.

Grayson's birthday is just around the corner so we are trying to get everything ready for that and yep, you guessed it, Batman it is!!!

Earthquake!!!!

This is where we were today when we felt the house shake during the earthquake - that's right we have it all here in Oklahoma!!! Happened about 9:05 or so and Grayson said "momma, what is that noise?" and I replied that I had no clue! The shaking lasted about 15 seconds or so but it was significant - very weird. No damage just a few pictures scooted around a little on a table. Casey felt it at his work too. Apparently the center of it was just about 6 or 7 miles east of us.

5 weeks and new school

Mr. Gibson is now 5 weeks old. He is getting quite the chunky cheeks and is a great baby. He only cries when he is hungry and is sleeping pretty well(sometimes better than Grayson). He is a little hard to burp, sometimes no burp at all, but it doesn't seem to affect him he is not spitting up too much, just occasionally. We haven't been back to the Dr since his 2 week check up but at that appointment he had already gained a pound and grown almost 2 inches. So he is catching up to be right on pace with the same size Grayson was. He started smiling some last week - too cute. Grayson is still a lot interested in him (too interested sometimes)! Still needs constant reminding to be easy with the kisses and not swing the sword too close to his head!!! We are on our second trip to Mimi and Poppa's house and he even got to camping for the 1st time last week!!

Grayson has started going to a preschool class at our local Gymboree on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They have a very structured day and learn lots of good school skills(letters, days of the week, weather, you get it!) He is really enjoying it. He did get in trouble last week for wrestling -we'll have to remind him that wrestling is only for at home with daddy! He is going to be Batman for Halloween and wants a Batman birthday party - so we are officially all off into the superheroes!!!!

I have 1 more week of maternity leave, I go back on the 18th. I will only be going back part time - mondays and wednesdays - so I am really looking forward to hopefully having the best of both worlds - stay at home mom and adult conversation at work! Gibson will be going to Nanny's with Grayson. I think they have missed Grayson not being there - it's probably a lot more quiet without him around!!!!

Great Pa Bill with Cooper, Grayson, & Gibson(this was the best we could do!)

Gibson's first hike and first time in the baby bjorn(I really like that thing!)
