Halloween

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. If my little sister would this through the night, Daddy would be able to help me keep up the postings.


Right now Leighton just likes to cat nap. So even though she does not sleep through the night it seems like she is always napping.


I thought I would share some of the Halloween highlights. Here I am with my good friend Kennedy dressed up in our costumes.


Mommy, Daddy and I went to the Pumpkin farm to get ourselves a pumpkin. Leighton stayed home with Grandma C since new babies are not supposed to be out and about too much.


Mommy and I got a little thirsty after all that pumpkin picking.


Finally a pony that is just my size.


Here I am carving up that pumpkin!


At the zoo I met Dorthy on the yyellow brick road.


I think the Great Pumpkin should really be this big!

Illumifest

Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Illumifest. It was a little cold out for Leighton so she stayed home with Grandma C.


Illumifest is a fun free event here in town. They have bouncy houses, latern painting, rides, and food. Daddy is trying to convince me that I will like the bouncy obstacle course.


I actually was having trouble climbing a part of it.


Luckily these girls were there to help me out.


They also shared some popcorn with me!


We caught a show with this dancing Dragon.


Mommy and I are here waiting in line to paint a lantern.


Before we left I got to ride this all by myself.

Little Sis and Big Brother

Cousin Shelly sent us a care package with a couple pretty neat shirts.

Here Leighton shows off her Little Sis shirt.


I just love my Little Sis.....


....but she had better remember I was here first and that makes me the Big Brother!

Relaxing

So now that Leighton has come home we have been mainly staying home and relaxing. Here she is with Grandpa W.


Leighton likes to take naps on Daddy.



I have been teaching her how I relax and sleep.


Sam also wants to get into all the relaxing going on.


While I have really enjoyed all of the laying around lately.........unlike Mommy and Daddy.....


......some of us can't relax all day long. Here I am heading off to the first day of preschool.

Leighton Meets Sam

Sam has been very curious about our new addition, he is not sure what to think.


Sam says hello to Leighton, I guess that means she is accepted into our family.


Here is our new family photo!

First Week Home

After a few days in the hospital, Mommy and Daddy brought Leighton home. Here she is hanging out in some Browns gear.


Here Daddy and her enjoy some down time on the couch.


Bet you can't guess who got Leighton this outfit!


So far I have been pretty excited to have Leighton home.


What can I say, already she has me wrapped around her little finger;)

When Leighton arrived!

On Monday, August 15th, Mommy and I got up like any normal day and had breakfast. I had been a little sick over the weekend so Daddy was sleeping in from helping out with my restless night. All of a sudden Mommy said "I think my water broke" and in a flash they packed me up to visit Grandma and Grandpa C. Then they went off to the hospital and before long here came Leighton.


This is Leighton.


Grandma W was the very first one to visit us at the hospital. (too slow this time Grandpa C)


Here she found her hand.


Mommy thinks that Leighton is hungry.


Daddy, Mommy, and Leighton pose for a picture.


Grandpa C was second to come visit Leighton.


Mommy and Daddy say that Leighton has been much more alert than I was when I was born.


Here Leighton finally gets her first bath.


She is now nice and clean.


Grandma C and I finally get a chance to meet Leighton. Since I had a fever I had to wait until I was feeling better to meet her.


Already I love her sooo much!


Uncle Rob and Aunt Jenny visited a few times.



Grandpa W also visited a few times but we didn't get a picture with him. I guess it is true that the second baby gets less pictures taken:(


Leighton was too little to fit into my old car seat so Mommy and Daddy bought her this cute little pink one that fit her just right.
