This last week has been really long and really short all at the same time. Sammy is doing really well. He's totally cooperative with the schedule we put him on, except the part where it takes a full 30 minutes to really wake him up. This kid can sleep! Which is fabulous as well because I am only having to wake up once a night to feed him.
We did the whole Halloween thing with Andi this year. Well sort of. We had planned to go to the ward party but Andi already had a bad cold and we didn't want her out getting sicker. So we decided Thad would take her around the block trick-or-treating and call it good. So we got her tinkerbell costume on, and she burst in to tears and ran to the bathroom saying she needed to throw up! So we got the costume off and got her some 7-up and she laid on the floor for a while. Grandma B came over and showed her video of her cousins trick-or-treating and that convinced her to walk down to my parents house at least. Of course, once she saw another group of kids and all the candy, she was totally up for a complete lap around the block. This is the only picture we got of her in the costume. She refused to stand up and wouldn't take any other pictures.

Other than that, we had my Grandmas 75th birthday party with a lot of family in town. Sammy also had his first Dr's appointment Monday and he's already gained 3 oz. Also I think they measured him wrong in the hospital or something becuase the Dr's office says he is 22 inches long and I know he didn't grow over 2 inches in 5 days. Sammy right foot is a little twisted. The Dr said he thinks it might be a clubbed foot or something of that sort so they are sending us to an orthopedic surgeon to have his foot looked at. Hopefully it's something they can fix sooner than later. Here are a couple cute pictures from the week.


Here's an interesting little comparison we made with a picture from Andi's 1st week and one of Sammy. A small resemblance no?

you'll be amazed on how much the orthopedic people can do! They did wonders for Daniel! He was in casts for the first 6 weeks of his life, then we just had to wait until he was a little older do to his surgery, but it amazing me what they can do! So good luck! He is such a handsome little guy!

andi had a much bigger head as a baby.
that tink costume is great, although i'm sad that our old dance costumes don't cut it anymore. Oh well.
Hope the foot thing is ok. that seems weird.

cute pics! Wow, I can't believe how much they look alike. What exactly is a clubbed foot? Dr. can fix anything these days. I love Sammy's newborn sweetness. His little head reminds me of Parkers when he was a baby. And Oh my gosh he is so long. He's going to be tall I'm sur
