Update on Zoe and halloween pics

Zoe is geting HUGE! She is mellowing out somewhat, but she is still a pretty fussy girl. I think she has a lot of gas causing her discomfort sometimes, poor thing. She does not like to lie down flat, she much prefers to be propped up or be upright in a carrier. She loves taking a warm bath, it's an easy way to calm her down. Unfortunately she does not like to get out of the bath so she will usually start crying then. She does not sleep enough during the day and she will only sleep at night if she is with Mom. Her head control is pretty amazing for 6 weeks. And she is smiling more and more, it is so sweet! Here is one of her early smiles caught on film.

For halloween, Jackson wanted to be a fire fighter this year. His hat wasn't quite working out on his costume because of the way his wheelchair headrest is but we did our best to modify the hat so it sort of stayed on his head.

Getting his face painted at school. He looks totally thrilled, don't you think? We put his jacket on backwards (his choice) so we didn't have to lift him up out of his chair.

Zoe did not have a costume, but our friends gave her a very cool halloween outfit to wear.
