And then there were 2...

It's hard to believe it's already been a month since Kaia was born. So far Kaia is doing very well at the baby thing and can sleep, poop, and give cute little gassy smiles with the best of them. I'm still undecided if I like headbands on her, but it definitely dresses up her pajama's.

I'm not so sure she likes them either...

Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to over the last month:

For Halloween Rusty was a Pirate and we had a lot of fun at all of the different Halloween events. It's amazing to me how kids just instinctively know what to do on the holidays. As soon as we got home from trick or treating he dumped out his candy and got it all sorted into matching piles and let me know which ones he was going to share and which ones were just for him, which were basically all of them.

Rusty also got to go on 2 field trips last month with his preschool. The first one was to his beloved fire station. He thinks he is BFF's with the fire fighters now and everytime we pass the station he asks if he can go talk to them and see what they are doing.

The second field trip was to Black Island Farms. Since Kaia wasn't even 2 weeks yet, my mom, Denise and Jackson were kind enough to go with him. I'm told the pig races were a huge hit.
Rusty loves preschool! He also enjoys unwinding from preschool with his new tradition of eating a bowl of popcorn while watching his "bestest, favorite show ever" Rescue Hero's.
This is his expression basically for the whole 30 minutes it is on:

Rusty also just completed another session of swim lessons and did a great job. Here he is getting ready to swim back to the stairs...

On the last day of lessons, my mom had just finished up swimming some laps and was still in the water so she let the boys go down the big slide and caught them at the bottom. Rusty was pretty thrilled.

Kaia was a super trooper and basically spent most of her time like this:

Rusty has already informed me that Kaia is his new best friend, but Nate and I can still be part of their group. I'm so glad he loves his little sister so much.
