Happy Halloween (One Day Later)

We didn't have many trick or treaters but we did have a few creative ones. Obviously we didn't trick or treat as the concept would be a little lost, but we did meet the trick or treaters at the door with our special pumpkin.





It's not a difficult costume for her to pull off, she and a pumpkin have similar attributes. They both sit fairly still and look cute. She is far less still then she used to be and is way cuter though.

We went to our two month doctor visit yesterday and were pleased to find her in all the correct percentile ranges. She was a little low in weight, but the doctor was not at all worried and based on her development recommended doing some schedule changes that he thought she would be ready for. When our doctor asked us to brag a little, I promptly picked Esme up held her delicately under the arms and let her stand wobbly for a second, and said, there is my brag. Now I don't know whether that was a developmental bragging point, but she can sit up fairly well on her own and hold her head up really well, and she loves to stand with support and coo at us. Developmentally or not, I still thinks it's great. He thinks I am turning her into an acrobat, but it is not intentional I promise. We even had our first round of immunizations and despite the shriek and two minutes of crying during the shots themselves, we tolerated it well. Esme was back asleep withing 5 minutes, and so far we have seen no major side effects. We're optimistic that she will escape the fever and aches that can be associated with it, but we aren't out of the woods yet.

We have a social event to go to tonight and we will be really pleased if we can make it through an hour or so without a problem. It is a wedding, and I really don't want to be the ones with the screaming child during the ceremony.

Hope all is well with everyone out there.
