2 months! (halloween & home photo sesh)

I cannot believe Sam is two months!! it is crazy how fast the time is flying.  I especially can't believe I go back to work in 2 weeks!  ughhh... I know it will be good for me but right now, I am dreading it.  We are just now starting to get into a little routine.  It is still not all that predictable but I can usually expect Sam to eat, play, then sleep.  Sam has really taken a big interest in his mobile.  We had an old 1970s crank mobile on his crib and once we saw his love for that thing it didn't take us 1 day to realize we needed a battery powered mobile with a remote!  I don't think he likes the new one quite as much as the vintage humpty dumpty, but he does like that it plays for 10 minutes and we don't have to disturb him to restart.  Simply push the catepillar's stomach and you have another 10 minutes of pure joy.  :)  He has also really started to like his snuggily soft blankets and little holdie things.  He holds them up to his face and nuzzles into them with heavy eyes.  It melts me heart to see him do this.  It is so sweet.  Now I know why babies get so many of these soft blankets and "holdies." 

I have survived 2 months of this craziness...

 

is this why mom always calls me pumpkin? 

First Halloween!  Sam had a great first halloween!  We went to Lewis' office for the proud poppa to show him off.  All the ladies were so excited to see Sam.  Sam and I then made our maiden voyage to Harris Teeter.  He did great and gave me just enough time to purchase a very random frozen box of mini corn dogs for the neighborhood get together.  I didn't claim the corn dogs that made my house smell like the state fair after 18 minutes in the oven.  Sam snoozed right through the neighborhood halloween gathering so he went as the cliche pumpkin that every newborn has to be if born around halloween.  We had plans for sam to go as Sambo in his camo but I wasn't about to wake him up to get dressed. 

 Olan mills in the house! I have been trying so hard to get a good picture for an announcement.  These are my favs from our photo session so be on the look out for an announcement in the near future.  My goal is to get it done before I go back to work..ugh..
