Novembre

I'm trying to remember to take pictures of Vinny. Guess that's what happens when you're the second child. He is growing by leaps & bounds. We've hit the 11 lb mark.

Don't wake me . . . I'll wake you! No kidding. Vinny wakes to feed pretty much on the dot of every 3 hours at night. It's not too bad for the moment, as he goes right back to sleep. However, if by chance he doesn't, that's when I wake Daddy!

A moment of sibling sweetness

Ashley suddenly is interested in playing with girls. :) Here she is with Olivia, "my hend".

Double diaper duty. Around Christmas-time, maybe we'll really start the potty training process. It hits you kind of hard when you have to buy 2 boxes of diapers at a time at Costco!

Ahh! What a life!

We try to go outside when we can to enjoy the fall weather. Ashley even helped rake our neighbor's yard when he left his rake out.
This is how Vinny rides.
Already looking up to his big sister.
A moment of silliness with Tee-tee, I mean Auntie.

We're looking forward to seeing Ashley & Vinny's other "Auntie" much more often, since Aunt Regina has moved to Asheville, NC. Yay!

We went to a Christmas parade over the weekend. It was a little cold &, apparently, very loud. Ashley didn't really appreciate all the marching bands & the cheering.


But, we got to see Santa!

Can't believe she let us put tights on her. :)

Vinny will turn his head to you now when you talk to him. And, around the 6 week mark, he began giving us really great smiles. It's very sweet!
