happy hOWLoween!

so there were lots of accomplishments this week. most notably, i started using a pacifier (i love it!) and i lost all the hair on the top of my head. literally, one day i had hair, the next day i didn't!

on top of these milestones, i had the fortune of visiting the doctor again...yippee!(sarcasm) only to find out a have diaper rash and mom and dad were asked to concoct some mixture of aquaphor and maalox...don't ask. the good thing was, we found out i weigh 8 lbs 6 oz, which is more than 2 lbs greater than what i weighed when i left the hospital at 6 lbs 2 oz!

oh yeah...and i was supposedly allowed to venture outside the house as of yesterday...but mom and dad are so scared of the swine flu that the farthest i got was the backseat of mom's car as mom and dad took turns going into different places to run errands!

they did, however, let me visit auntie jenna (who i plan to call auntie jean, though she doesn't know it yet) and uncle gary at their house. and we also visited grandma tina and papa at their house as they passed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. i'm pretty sure i was the cutest trick-or-treater they saw though (pictures below)!

here are some pictures of the highlights of my week:

pumped to watch the bears play the browns...dad said it was the worst game of all time. me and mom couldn't care less!
