November 10, 2006 - Tommy turns 6 weeks old tomorrow. Much to our delight, he actually slept 7-8 hours at a time a few nights this week. Time will tell if this is a fluke or if he is following in his big sissy's footsteps and learning to be a good sleeper. He seems much mellower now - doesn't cry as urgently and often and his digestive system seems to be working a little better too.

Anne Peyton is adjusting really well. Despite some tantrums and late-night wake-ups, she adores her little brother and is charming the heck out of her parents every day. At bedtime she loves cuddling up in mommy & daddy's bed with a pile of books. Although she doesn't have many words yet, it's sweet to hear her attempts.

This was a month of visitors: Grammy (Lisa's mom), Kathy Bravo (day care mommy) and her 3 kids: Ariana, Thomas & Elise, Aunt Molly Tee, Papa TR (Lisa's dad), Becky Chapman, Kjirsten Wallace & Zach, Amy St. John & Max, Tim Neyman & Sarita, Terie Holmquist, Stacey Hauhuth & Finn, Betsy Angelino & Anthony, Roberta Camargo, Mikkel Hylden & Brynne, and Ellen Itzkowitz & Brady!

For Halloween AP dressed as a cowgirl (for the Itzkowitz's party) and as a horse (for the St John/Sanders' party), and Tommy was a chicken (rooster, to be technically correct). John was a farmer. Why is it that we can't get out of this ridiculous farm animal theme?!
