Brotherly Love and Halloween

The most common question we get these days is, "How is Miller handling the new addition?". While he has his moments of frustration ("No TJ Mama!"), he's mostly been very sweet with TJ.  He loves to play games that incorporate TJ in some way. All of a sudden he likes playing in his crib, if TJ is in there with him. I love watching TJ start to interact with him more and more each day, it's so fun to think how much they will play together in a couple of years!

 

 

Last week was Halloween, and while TJ is still too small to care much about it, Miller really enjoyed himself this year. He dressed as Elmo and TJ wore Miller's monkey costume from his first Halloween. We went to a children's parade last weekend with the boys dressed in costume. One thing I hadn't anticipated was how many kids would approach our little Elmo, wanting to touch him and hug him. It was like having a celebrity kid! To them he was Elmo. Miller was really great about it, high fiving and hugging kids when they approached. Proud of my sweet boy.

Miller also went trick or treating for the first time and seemed to enjoy it. He's still not big on candy (who is this kid!?), but had fun meeting all the neighbors and seeing all the costumes.

 

Now that Halloween is over, we're getting excited for Dave's family to come to town to celebrate Thanksgiving, just a few weeks away!
