Halloween Fun

Better late than never!! Here are some pics that were taken during Halloween.

Summer Is Over!

Or is it? It's been in the mid 80's Farenheit last week, not typical Fall weather. Amelie has had about a month in school now and she's really liking it now. It was quite a journey to get to this level. The first two weeks Mom stayed with her throughout her day. The second week Papa took her and stressed to her that he needed to go to work, so he wouldn't stay the day. The drive to school was great, but when it came time to give Papa his hug goodbye, all bets were off. Much drama ensued! The second day was worse because now she knew that I was gonna leave. She cried during the whole drive and the teacher had to tear her off of me. The good news is that everyday, when Mommy comes to pick her up, she's in the best of spirits!
Last week was a lot better. Only a little bit of weeping as I was leaving. I bet by next week she wont' even cry anymore.

Daniella wakes up only once at night, at around 4am. She's been having problems with her tummy, so we switched her to a soy based formula. She's a trooper though, because despite the obvious discomfort she tries to smile a lot. It's so different from when she was about a month old and only smiled in her sleep involuntarily!

School Starts Next Week!

This is going to be an interesting week coming up. Amélie will be starting school at the Play House this coming Monday. She's ready with her gi-normous Dora Backpack. (Sandra and I think she can literally fit in it herself!) She's excited at the moment.... we'll see when she actually starts and realizes that Mommy has to leave her there. We did find out that she's gonna have a friend there from the neighborhood, so hopefully that will ease the transition a little bit.

Daniella came back from the doctor today. She now weighs 11.2 lbs. She gained a whole 2 pounds from her visit last month. She also got taller, or longer 23 in. which places her in the 75% mark. Her sleeping has slowly improved. She sleeps all the way to 3 or 4 o'clock now. She even surprised us one morning by making it all the way to 5 am! She used to wake up at around 12:30 or 1 just last month.

Amélie and Daniella

This blog is chronicling the lives of our 2 kids; Amélie and Daniella. I'm mikeylikeybikey and I love bikes and all things about them, but right now these two have reformed my priorities. Don't get me wrong, I still love bikes; riding off road, techy bike stuff, gear, heck even riding on the road.... I just can't wait till these 3 will be able to hit the trails with me some time.
