Calder started smiling on Halloween day. We’re loving this new trick and try to get him to smile as often as possible 🙂 He is such a good baby, eating well and letting me get some sleep at night. He’s definitely a little chunkier now. He gained 1.5 pounds his first 2 weeks and I’m sure he’s gained just as much since then! Amelie is a wonderful big sister. She brings me his pacifier when he cries, rocks him when he’s in his car seat, and tries to clean him when he spits up. I even caught her burping one of her stuffed animals the other day 🙂

Cheese!

Big smiles.

He's also discovered his tongue recently 🙂

Not a smile, but pretty funny.

Just hanging out.

Happy belated Halloween, everyone! We had fun this year dressing up as Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Amelie was Goldilocks, I was Mama Bear, Bryce was Papa Bear, and Calder was, of course, Baby Bear. Amelie enjoyed the ward Trunk-or-Treat and Bryce taught her the ins and outs of trick-or-treating. Unfortunately, the party got rained out early. Saturday night, we went to another Halloween party. We’ve gone to this party (hosted by Michelle’s sister and brother-in-law) since Bryce and I were dating, so it’s become a tradition. Here are some pictures from our Halloween weekend:

Pretty little Goldilocks, ready to go trick-or-treating.

Baby Bear, cozy and warm in his winter outfit that doubles as a costume.

Papa Bear (who voted, apparently) with his cute cub.

The whole crew, homemade bear ears and all.

We couldn't resist getting a picture of Calder with his sweet cousin Hayley (she's almost exactly one month older). Especially since she was Tigger and he was in his Pooh Bear outfit 🙂
