Halloween Day

On Halloween day Jenn and Simon went to Baby Bulldogs at St. Andrew's Gym (Jenn posted pictures). Then they came back, played some legos (video below), and Simon visited with Gaga and Papa Basque. It was raining all day so we didn't take Simon out trick or treating, but there were quite a few kids that came to the door while we were eating dinner. Every time the door rang Simon jumped out of his seat and ran to the door to answer it with Alan. I think he had more fun doing that than he would have actually trick or treating. Next year I'm sure we'll go rain or shine!

Newborn Photo Session

I have loved the idea of newborn photos and managed to set some up for Lillian. She was awesome about the whole thing, posing nicely and being calm and sleepy. She wasn't up for lying on her belly, which made some of the photos I was hoping to get impossible, but the ones we got are super adorable.

And some behind the scenes with the two ladies - the photographer and the person who was posing Lillian's hands.

Posing her hands...

...taking the picture!

Here is the picture!

So many great pictures after the jump...

Grandpa Bart's Visit

Grandpa Bart came to visit early this week. He was a huge help - cleaning up around the house, holding Lillian while I took a nap and of course lots and lots of baseball with our sport-obsessed boy. They made some bases for the back yard and played away! Sadly, Grandma Kiki couldn't make it this trip, but we will see them both in just a couple weeks. 

Grandpa Bart is pitching and Simon is batting. Great stance!

Run the bases!

Almost home!

Funny thing said...

Daddy: Simon, are you pooping?
Simon: No, I'm just farting a lot. <thoughtful pause> A lot.

Lillian meeting Grandpa Bart

Grandpa Bart came into town to meet Lillian! (And of course to help too.) Here he is with her in the first few minutes...
