Halloween and Hangin Out

Finally uploaded some pictures from our real camera, so we've got lots to share...

Camryn boppy time

Cole boppy time

Snoozing away the afternoon. But notice that they both have a foot sticking out. No matter how they start out, they always end up with one or both feet out of their blankets when they sleep. They like to have their piggies free!...

See?...A close up from a different day--both have a free piggy out! And those who know me, know I am NOT a foot person. Babies are the exception.

Cole is totally out. Having trouble keeping his tongue in.

Playing in their ocean. They frequently cross arms when they're laying together too

More playtime

Caught a quick grin

Finally trying Cole out in the Baby Bjorn now that he weighs enough for it

We decided to take pictures with some pumpkins in honor of the season. Here's Cam...

And here's Cole with the pumpkins...

But here's what the whole experience was really like. They screamed the second we put them down and turned on the camera. The ones above were extremely lucky shots in between cries, as you see here!

Showing off her cute Halloween jammies. Perhaps we should've kept her in bed longer?

And my sweet little boy in his Halloween jammies

Our attempt at a family picture. Much like our tries with the pumpkins, it was a squirmy scream fest for the most part. Here's the "best" one out of the 10 or so that were taken! They're getting their newborn pictures professionally done next week. I hope they act better with a camera around for Melinda and Cristie than they do for their parents. We should come armed with liquor or something for our wonderful photographers as a thank you in advance for what could be a loooonnng photo session...!

Little Monster Cole

Camryn just isn't quite ready for 0-3 month clothes yet! Her Halloween oneise was quite big on her. But still cute, of course.

Not sure what they were going to be for their first Halloween, and being pretty small to fit into most baby costumes, I remembered they have cute jammies that came with matching hats. So here's Crocodile Cole with his Mimi

And here we are getting ready to head down to our Halloween party. Again, Camryn went into complete happy mode as soon as the picture taking process was over.

Our cul-de-sac has an annual Halloween cook-out party each year before trick-or-treating begins. The babies enjoyed being held and loved on by all our neighbors!

Finally a picture where she's not crying in her Halloween get-up. Here's our sweet pink giraffe

The babies ended their first Halloween by trick-or-treating over at Grandpa's and Grandma Jackie's

Here's Grandpa and his little Crocodile

I took a picture with my phone today of the babies next to our booth when we went to vote. I was just informed that cameras, cell phones, etc. are not allowed at the actual voting booth. Oops. Nonetheless, we all wore our stickers out of there proudly this afternoon. This weekend is our CCFA chapter's Education Day. I am so proud to get to be on 2 panels this year relaying my insight and experience with Women and IBD issues. Since one of the main things I'm supposed to talk about is having a successful pregnancy despite having moderate to severe Crohn's Disease, it's only fitting that the babies come along to actually show off the "miracles" they truly are. It will be a big day that we're looking forward to :) :) :)
