First of all..... Zander had his 6 month check up last week, and he had a good report. He continues to follow on his path for weight, height, and head circumference. He weighs 15 pounds and 12 ounces. Here is a pre-shots photo:
There were many tears after this photo as he had to have a few shots including his first flu shot. I love this little boy so much, and it breaks my heart when he is upset or in pain. I don't think that will get better....I will always want the best for him. ;)
Now to some Halloween fun.....
I have never considered Halloween to be one of my favorite holidays... but this year felt a little extra special. I have loved handing out candy to our neighbors and watching Burke get excited when the doorbell rang.... but this year, the activities we had done for years could now be shared with our new family member. Although Zander won't remember anything from his first Halloween, I feel that we continued traditions that one day he will look forward to with childlike anticipation. We carved a pumpkin, dressed Zander in some cute outfits, and handed out candy. Burke would bark and say "hello" to every child that came to our door and Zander would just look and take it all in.
Halloween "eve"....sporting an Itsy Bitsy Spider Shirt and Jack-o-lantern Socks
First outfit: "Been Inside for Nine Months"
Matching Burke..... I've got my hands full with these two!
In "jail"
Outfit #2: The Pirate
Zack got creative with our pumpkin this year..... he attempted to make the pumpkin stick out his tongue. :)
Outfit #3: Baby's First Trick or Treat
All three of these outfits were given to us by friends..... we are so blessed to have people in our lives that are so generous to share or give anything and everything they have! Zander got some food on his first outfit and pooped through his second outfit... so it was kind of perfect that we had three options. Happy Halloween! ;)
