Halloween Activities
We had a fun Halloween this year, we went to a birthday party for our friends Carter and Davis, Reece had a party at daycare and we went for a short walk Monday evening! Reece was a dragon and the new baby dressed up as a pumpkin. I don't think Reece quite gets it this year but next year is going to be a blast!
As for other news, Reece has been sleeping in his new room since Saturday night! We decided to go straight to a twin bed and skip the toddler bed stage. We're starting with a twin mattress on the floor (to avoid falls) and we'll work our way to bunk beds. Tonight is the third night and so far things are improving. Saturday night, we "reset" him 4 times, each time he was laying against the door. The final time he was sleeping far enough away for Tyler to squeeze through and put him back in bed. Last night he cried at the door for a few minutes and then went back in the bed on his own. We checked on him before we went to bed and he was halfway on the bed and halfway off and when I woke him up in the morning he was sleeping on the floor. So far, he's slept through the night both times. Tonight he cried for just a few minutes and we'll see where he is soon. Wish us luck!

Wow, Does Time Fly!
Well, it's been quite a while! Halloween is coming up quickly, Reece is almost two and his little brother is on his way!
We've been busy chasing around a busy little boy. Reece is just about 22 months old now and is very active! If he isn't sleeping he either eating or running around. He's right on track with his motor development, but he still isn't saying much. His pediatrician said that it was fine, everything else is on track and he's doing all the things she would expect. She just said he's busy learning other things such as how to get into everything! He definitely understands what we are saying and he can sign some things, probably more than Tyler and I understand. He's a wonderful child that's almost always in a great mood. Now we just have to try to get him ready for a little brother.
On that note, Reece's brother is due on January 8th! Everything is going well and at our last ultrasound, the technician said he is measuring about a week larger than my due date (although it hasn't changed) and she thinks he might come early! Christmas and then two birthdays, maybe Tyler and I should have tried to plan this a little better. We're excited to add to our family and I just can't wait to see the craziness another little boy adds to our household!
