Jarret is 2 Months

Jarret had his 2 month check yesterday. Here are his stats:

Weight: 13 lbs 1 oz - 80th %
Length: 23 3/4 in- 75th %
Head: 15 1/2 in- 40th %

Jarret is taller and skinnier than Darci was at this age. Darci was 1 3/4 inches shorter and 10 oz heavier than Jarret is. And Boys tend to be bigger. Their heads are were about the same, but since the scales are different for boys and girls Darci's head was 75th % I guess boys tend to have bigger heads too. It's fun to compare this stuff. :)

Jarret's skills:
Smiles, coos and growls, and tries to laugh.
Holds his head up well. Sits up while holding mommy's hands.
When on his tummy if mommy moves his arm so he is slightly on his shoulder he will kick his leg to roll over to his back (not officially "rolling over", but it's a start),
Still nurses a ton, although sometimes he decides that it is just too hard (I can't say I disagree) and he begs me for a bottle of breast milk.
He sleeps very well at night, usually wakes up at 2:30 and 5:30. Can fall asleep in his bed on his own without crying himself to sleep.
Grabs mommy's hair or shirt and won't let go.

Here are some pictures we took today for his "2 month Photo Shoot with Mommy"

Jarret's blessing

Sunday Nov 6th we blessed Jarret in Church. My Grandma and Grandpa came from Washington, and my cousins and my brother came down from Portland. It was a great day. Merrill gave a very good blessing. And we all got together at Mom and Dad's for lunch. We got just a few pictures of Jarret. He was ready to eat and did not want to cooperate so this is the best we got.

Such a handsome little guy!

"help Daddy, they're taking too many pictures!"

"Wait, how's my hair?"

Our first Family picture of the 4 of us!

Halloween

For Halloween we got to go to 2 Trunk or Treat activities. The first was Saturday at our wards activity. There was dinner with chili and corn bread, combined with another ward. And then a 3rd ward joined for the trunk or treat. It was huge, lots of people and tons of fun for the kids. My brother Randy and his wife Capri came with their 2 boys (and also Capri's mom and Brother and his wife) and my brother Cory and his girlfriend Cheryl also came. Cory and Cheryl passed out the candy from his truck while we took the kids around to get their candy. Darci was too shy to say trick or treat, but it didn't take long for her to get how it all went down. She walked up to the trunks and held up her bucket, and then off to the next one. Then on Monday we got to go to another Trunk or Treat for Randy and Capri's ward. The kids got way too much candy.

My cute little pumpkin

Sorry Jarret, you are too little to get candy. Maybe next year.

Darci with the pumpkins we carved. She loved helping carve the pumpkins and lighting them every night

Me and my little pumpkin and Sailor girl. (Merrill was sick, so he had to stay home)

Darci and Wyatt. They held hands the whole time. We had to tell them every time to let go so they could pick their candy, otherwise they would just stand there looking at the bowl of candy.

Group shot. Love Easton's costume, he got a lot of attention as the Joker.



And here are some recent pics of Jarret and Darci.

Darci wanted to be in the picture too, silly girl
