Five Months

Toby turned five months old today. Yesterday, we started him on rice cereal. He was intrigued, but didn't have very much. Well, today he had two bowls full. He just kept opening his mouth and begging for more. I couldn't believe it. Of course, most of it ended up on his bib and his clothes, but he really seemed to like it. Just as he was finishing off the second bowl his eyes started to close and he was out. I hope this wasn't just a fluke. It'll be a nice change to have a kid who eats once in a while without fighting me.

All Hallow's Eve

We had so much fun on Halloween! Paige was a Triceratops and Toby was a dinosaur egg. We took Paige trick-or-treating in Tom's old neighborhood since our neighborhood does trunk or treat. She was so cute as you can clearly see from the picture. We didn't take Toby out with us this year, but next year for sure!

Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion

I finally decided it was time to give Paige the Scooby Doo Haunted Mansion I've been making for her. I could've continued to work on it for months, it's been so much fun, but it was time to let her enjoy it a little. I think she likes it. There's a revolving bookcase and a trap door, of course. I also made a piano, a grandfather clock, a couple of tables, a rocking chair and a couch. After making the house, it was time to haunt it. I put in bats, ghosts, spiders, snakes, witches and aliens. If anyone wants to see it, you should come by!!! (And soon. I don't know how long it's going to be before it gets destroyed. Paige is 2 after all.)

Four Months

So, apparently it's been a month since I last updated my blog. I know this because Toby is one month older. We'll take him to the doctor tomorrow for his check-up. I'll have to update this post with all his current stats. He is getting so big!!! My arms hurt from holding him. Hopefully he'll be sitting up on his own soon. He rolled over last week.

Three Months

Toby turned three months old this week. In those three months, I feel like I've aged at least three years. Babies are hard. But, look how cute!

Sibling Rivalry

Paige is okay with her new brother, so long as he doesn't interfere with anything she wants to do. I just got through telling her that she will have to start sharing toys now that she has a sibling. She responded by saying, "But, Toby doesn't like toys." Poor kid is never going to get to play with anything. He adores Paige so much, however, he probably won't mind giving her all his toys.

Update

I haven't had much to write recently. Just the standard new baby stuff. You know, getting spit up on, pooped on, screamed at, etc. Luckily, Paige watches plenty of TV, but it's still really hard watching two kids. We're most certainly not having any more.

Anyway, I haven't been able to focus my frazzled brain on any topic worthy of blogging. Instead I spend most of my computer time on facebook where I only have to think of one-liners and responses to other people's posts. So, if you're not on facebook yet, you should be. I've posted most of my new pictures there instead of here.
