... and the little one said "Roll over, roll over"

Aaron tells me that Noa rolled over last week but I didn't get to see it. And apparently, now that he proved to himself that he could do it, he isn't interested in trying again. We are having fun thinking about the holidays and the first time we will spend Christmas in our home, with our children. Ian is excited about snow and the holidays.

We are going to make the plunge and go to the big T-Day parade this year. I don't know how crazy it is so I will have to get back to you. I hear it is about the equivalent of New York's Macy's Parade. But since I work one block from the parade I thought it would be pretty easy since we have access to a potty and hot chocolate. Also the L stop is right in front of my work, so really, it will take little effort to get there and probably much worth it for the expression on Ian's face.

Noa's awake so I am going to play with him while I have him all to myself.

All I Want For Christmas is My Two Front Teeth!

Noa is singing this tune today. Apparently it isn't enough to have his two bottom teeth - he's going for a full set by Christmas. He's teething again and pretty miserable. It just dawned on me today what is going on, but the last couple of nights he has been waking and refusing the bottle. At first I thought he was just excited about eating solid foods (which he is) but he had a low fever today and was cranky and arching the back and then it clicked. He isn't refusing the bottle because he wants solids, he refusing because it hurts and sure enough when I tried rubbing his top gum to investigate, he got real pissed and I thought I could feel a ridge there. Forgive me if the teething thing is taking me a bit by surprise but even the doc was a little startled to see them at the last visit.

Happy Halloween!

Ian was the most adorable little snowman for Halloween (thanks Mary!). The weather was great, the candy was abundant and the enthusiasm was contagious! A wonderful night...

And yes, I still fit in the wedding dress... barely. Noa only made it for a short turn around the block. He didn't even get his costume on as the goal of the walk for him was to fall asleep. He did this in no time and Ian and I did most of the trick or treating and Aaron manned the candy dish at the home front. Lots of fun!
