Jason Aldean and a skeleton ready for trick or treating
Giving brother a kiss
Silas sat with granny and pappy while mom and dad went with Matthew to town to walk and trick or treat. Mom really enjoyed getting out and getting in a nice walk. And one lady working at the nursing home even recognized my little Jason Aldean.
Picking up brother and we find Abbye and Austin at granny’s!
A fun night filled with candy and candy and more candy!!
Sunday afternoon we were surprised with a visit from Uncle Johnny and Aunt Donna. They came to meet Silas. And of course when Matt got home he had to school them on the world of Cars 2!!
Well we have been home a week now and what a great week it has been. Some sleep deprivation, lots of laundry, tons of cuddle time with the new baby and the big boy has had his fill of dad time and he loves it!
Saturday was no different. We hung out together as a family of 4. The boys played more Wii, and Matthew showed dad how great of an imagination he has with his cars and coming up with their races and such, we watched some college football and I even took some pictures of brother. We had swung by and got him a couple more newborn outfits because they are what is fitting him and this was one I grabbed. I just love it. It actually has black sweatpants with it but he has these red houndstooth baby legs so why not wear them since they are a perfect match! Is he not just the cutest thing?!?!!? He really looks alot older than 10 days in these pics thats for sure!
almost got a little smile in this one!
watching dad and brother wrestling

had to get a picture of big brother! he even wanted to smile
Jaclyn came by to visit. She brought Silas some cute clothes and Matthew got a Transformer and a cool TRex pumpkin that she carved for him! How fun!!
Then He got all dressed up like Jason Aldean to go to trunk or treat with dad while we stayed warm here at home!

Friday morning we were up and gone early to make my check up appointment. I saw Dr H and he said all looks great. It was a rather quick and easy appointment even with getting my blood drawn. Dad and Matt had stayed in the car playing on the ipod while I took Silas in with me to show him off. Of course I had to introduce him to Lauren, the nurse practitioner who made it all happen. I thanked her for helping us and couldnt do it without tearing up. It was a long journey to this day but one I wouldnt trade thats for sure.
Of course we had to grab breakfast after the dr so we were bound for ihop.
trying out the whip cream on his scary face pancake
sipping dads coffee
Matt commented while drinking the coffee “this is the best lunch ever. we get to color and drink coffee and eat pancakes” Hehehe it was too funny!
Then it was home for a quick nap then back to town to meet baby brothers new pediatrician. His appointment went great. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was measured at 19 inches long. His dr seems to be a really nice guy. He looked him over and said he is looking great! We are going to reweigh him next week and see if he is back up to birth weight.
That evening we got a visit from More Granny and Aunt Karen
Granny came over to visit with them also and then before long Aunt Connie, Uncle Bobby and Abbye and Austin came by to hang for a bit. It was a nice time visiting. The guys played wii of course and this is how they were when company left.
even little brother joined in and watched the race
The weather Wednesday was so nice and since it is supposed to get cold we decided to do some outside things.
Matt and dad carved his pumpkin into a jack o lantern.
can you see how thrilled baby brother was about the festivities!
We then went and turned on pappy’s blow ups to snap a few halloween pics of the boys just in case the weather is too bad this weekend. I dont wanna take Silas out if it’s windy and cold.
Matthew is going to be Jason Aldean for halloween but wore his dino costume for some pictures
even at 1 week old he is tired of this picture thing already! hahaha
5 yrs old
1 week old
It looks like the big cat is gonna eat the little trex! 
hurry trex…crawl away as fast as you can!
My handsome little man sporting a very cute owl diaper! Some of the newborn cloth dipes are still a little big on my little peanut but man are they the cutest things ever! This one is a GroVia Newborn AIO (all-in-one) which means it has all it needs, just put it on and go. The outside is waterproof, it has snaps, and is really soft and squishy! You have to make sure it gets snug around his little legs but other than that this one is a nice fit!
it sure has been an exciting week little man! Welcome to our life pumpkin! You were so worth the wait!
