Halloween

We went to the Benson Grist Mill Pumpkin Walk again this year. The boys had a Halloween Party and parade at preschool that I was able to go watch. Emma Dutson is their carpool friend in the picture. We had a ward Halloween carnival. This year Lucy was able to carve most of her pumpkin herself. She chose Princess Peach, Jacob chose Batman, and Luke chose a minion. The night of Halloween the boys made it around the front half of Anderson ranch. Lucy stayed out late and they all got a lot of candy.

Molly's First Months Home (September - November)

Molly is so sweet. We struggled her first month getting her to sleep at night but she was still a very good baby. After a week of being home we moved her to her crib. And after three weeks of being home we put her in a velcro sleep sack and it worked wonders. She's been sleeping well ever since. She's great at self soothing herself.  She never spits up, she tolerates her formula really well. She ate like a champ from the very beginning and rarely cried. And she has yet to get a diaper rash.

Her siblings adore her. Jacob especially has taken to her well. He loves to hold her and feed her. He is always the first to help her is she cries or needs something. He usually is the one to sit by her in the car because I know he'll help her without being asked. They all are gentle with her. There was never confusion about having her in our family. They all are so sweet with her.

At her first months appointment she was 14 lbs and somewhere in the upper percentiles for height and weight.
