Eleanor and Henry had fun this week getting ready for Halloween.\u00a0 Early in the week, Eleanor, Henry and Mom went costume shopping, and then on Saturday, we did some pumpkin carving.\u00a0 Mom decorated Henry\u2019s pumpkin with a marker, and Eleanor used \u201cMr. Potato Head\u201d pieces to decorate hers.\u00a0 It took some help from Dad pre-punching holes in the pumpkin with a screwdriver, but Eleanor choose where to put each piece, and she really enjoyed taking the pieces out and putting them back in again in different combinations.<\/p>\n

Henry perfected his sitting and standing this week, and it is now second nature for him.\u00a0 Mom got some cute pics of him standing in his crib by himself for the first time via the baby monitor, to match the one from last Sunday where he was sitting up for the first time.\u00a0 Henry also had a photo op with Dad wearing matching giraffe shirts.\u00a0 I\u2019m pretty sure we have a similar picture of Eleanor and Dad \u2013 I\u2019ll have to dig it up for a fun comparison shot.\u00a0 Henry and Eleanor had their first join bath this week \u2013 Eleanor said that she had fun doing it, but said that she wanted to bath alone when we asked her on Sunday.\u00a0 I think it had more to do with getting a few more minutes of playtime than anything else.<\/p>\n

Eleanor had a big weekend – on Saturday we turned her crib into a toddler bed!\u00a0 She had been asking about it for a while, and seemed pretty excited about it.\u00a0 Her first night in the new bed was uneventful, and she stayed in it all night, and didn\u2019t get out until Dad came in the morning to get her up.\u00a0 She also stayed in bed for her whole nap on Sunday afternoon.\u00a0 Saturday was her first time decorating a pumpkin, and Sunday she and Mom went to a play \u2013 \u201cHarold and the Purple Crayon\u201d.
