BATMAN!

We've been talking about Halloween at our house for the past couple of weeks and trying to get Carl excited about it, but for some reason he doesn't want to wear a costume or go trick-or-treating.  We looked at costumes several times together and he said "no" to every single one.  So finally I just bought him a Batman suit so that he would have something to wear IF he suddenly was willing to dress up.

Well, this morning Carl went to a birthday party for his little friend Yasmin.  Since her birthday falls so close to Halloween they decided to make it a costume party.  Carl would NOT put on his costume at home, so I just brought it with us.  Once we were at the party and he saw the other kids dressed up, he was completely willing to become BATMAN and wore his costume for the whole time!  (He still wasn't thrilled about the mask though.)  Here are the pics.

Baby Update

I had my 34 week doctor appointment today.  The baby's heartrate was 153 beats/minute, probably because I went in the afternoon when he starts to get more active.  The average baby at this point weighs 4.75 pounds and is almost 18 inches long - he is growing quickly!  We can't wait for his arrival!

Bedtime

Carl is usually good about going to bed, as long as he can pick out a few toys to bring with him.  Most kids would probably choose to bring stuffed animals or something cuddly, but Carl loves his tractors and dump trucks!!  Here he is tonight - he can barely fit into his bed after collecting all of his favorites!

More Duluth photos

 We took a boat ride on Lake Superior (or Lake Gitche Gumee as it is more fun to say with Carl)  Carl loved being out on the water and watching all the big ships.

 

 

 

Duluth Trip

We spent this past weekend in Duluth, MN.  It was chilly but a beautiful time of year to visit.  Probably our last get-away for awhile since baby #2's due date is quickly approaching!  These photos are from Gooseberry Falls.

 

BABY UPDATE

I saw the doctor today for my 32 week appt.  (I am technically 32 weeks & 4 days today)  Everything is going extremely well.  Baby's heartbeat was 129 beats/minute which is on the low side but he hadn't been moving much all morning.  He is much more active at night.  Baby should weigh approx. 3.75 pounds and be about 16.7 inches long at this point.  We go back for another check-up in 2 weeks!
