Bradley turned 2 months old this past week, and I am yet again amazed at how fast these little boys grow!! He turned two months old on Thursday and we had his wellness doctor visit on Friday. He now weighs 11 lbs 12 oz which is the 35th percentile, is 23.5 inches which is the 72nd percentile, and his head is 39.8 which is the 70th percentile. The doctor says he looks great! This past month he has started smiling, "talking", occasionally giggles, bats at objects and has really good head control! He enjoys being held, talked to, swaddled, being in anything that moves or vibrates, and bath time. He is sleeping pretty good during the day and only wakes once during the night. So I feel we are pretty lucky! 
Friday marked my last day of maternity leave :( I really thought it'd be a little easier since I had done this once before but having to let others care for your little tiny one is not easy! I am praying that the next week flies by and that we all have a wonderful week of transition! I am however excited to see my 22 little friends. I have worried about them for the past 9 weeks, and am ready to be with them and insure that they also have a wonderful 2nd grade experience while they are away from their moms and dads all day! Bradley, and occasionally Carson, and I all had a great time on my leave. It was filled with fun days of leisure, visiting friends, and fun outings. It already makes me excited for summer vacation and all the fun me and the boys will have! 
Since the last post Carson had his fist neighborhood trick or treating experience. He seemed to have a really good time once he figured out the more houses he went to the more candy he received. Towards the middle of October my sister and I took Carson to look at Halloween costumes. Once he spotted the Thomas the Train costume he was done! Currently he LOVES trains. I may be biased but I thought he wore it well! The picture on the left is Carson getting ready to go to his "school" (daycare) for the Halloween party. He was soo excited all week waiting for that party.

 Though I am sad to be off leave, I am looking forward to getting into a routine and having a great rest of the school year. And our little family is excited for the holidays and all the exciting upcoming events!
