My Kind of Perfect

I'm already trying to decide if we should have any more kids- because time is going by so much faster now that there are two of them! 

We had our first real trick-or-treating Halloween last week.  Cailyn went as a fairy princess, but she really only cared about being a "pincess", the fairy part made no difference to her!  She was super duper shy when trick or treating, we stopped at a friend's home first and we literally had to drag her up the sidewalk.  After she figured out that by walking up to the house, she would get candy in her bucket, she had no problem making the treks up the sidewalks, but refused to speak until we walked away when she would immediately say, "We go next house mom."  What a stinker!



Colby was supposed to be dressed as a dinosaur, I found the cutest stinkin' costume on sale- but, of course, 0-6 months really just means it only fits you the right way if you're the whole 6 months old!  So, instead he was a candy corn, like Cailyn was when she had her first Halloween. 




 In other news, Colby is officially one month old as of yesterday!  Which also means my maternity leave is quickly coming to an end, boo hoo.  It's amazing how much he has changed since he was born.  You know how babies generally look pretty similar, what with their puffy eyes and swollen selves from just being squeezed out of the tightest little tunnel?  Well, he's beginning to take on his own "look", and I am seeing what he will look like when he gets older, I think it will be much like his daddy.



 Although, he may get this face from me...



 Colby is so alert and attentive to the things happening around him, unless he's sleeping, of course!  He particularly likes to watch the colors on the television or to gaze at our family photos over the couch. 



His favorite thing to do is sleep.  His second favorite thing to do is eat.  We have been fortunate that he usually is only up once during the night, between midnight and 2am, and then eats and usually goes right back to sleep.  He's a little fussier at night than Cailyn was, but we'll take it!



And he loves his sissy, even when she hugs him too tight, or wakes him up from his nap because she wants to kiss him and just won't wait.  And they both love their pacis in the morning (Cailyn more so than Colby).  And I love moments like this:

This is my perfect.
