Happy Halloween!

Alena and Nora pose in their super cute Halloween outfits with the pumpkin that Alena gutted and Daddy carved. What cute girls!
"See Baby Nower, this is where the seeds were."
Today, Alena and Daddy roasted the seeds harvested from yesterday's Jack-o-lantern. They are seasoned with garlic salt, butter, and worcestershire sauce - delicious!

More birthdays

Alena wasn't the only one with a birthday last week--Nora celebrated 6 months on the 13th. She didn't get a cake, but she did try sweet potatoes and I think she might have swallowed some. The girls had their check-ups with the Dr this week. They both got a clean bill of health and the doctor said that they made her day because they were so cooperative. Who doesn't like to hear that about their kids (even if it isn't true at home!) Nora continues to be on the little side weighing in at 13 pounds, 6 ounces. She is just too busy trying to keep up with Alena to gain too much.

The drooler also celebrated. Constant drool!



Alena tried on new clothes immediately after opening them.



Nora with the Clipo blocks. Now that Nora is sitting, this is one of her favorite toys to play with. She likes to take apart towers and stick them in her mouth. They taste as good as they feel.

Happy Birthday, Alena!

Guess who is three tomorrow? Alena got a jump-start on the big day with a pizza party last night. Monsters continue to be a big thing for Alena right now, so Daddy put a monster on her cake. Alena told me the other day that a very little pink and purple monster ate Tillie's mom. (Don't worry, it was only make-believe.)
