Halloween Showers

Happy Halloween!! We decided early today that trick or treating might be a little too much for Kylie today however we thought she could hand out candy. She was a little upset that it rained most of the evening and we didn't get but a few trick or treaters. Of course, that didn't stop her from having a Happy Halloween, please enjoy some of her Halloween pictures from throughout the day! She wanted to be like her cousin Zoe this year so she decided to wear her Halloween shirt even if it was too big!

Getting ready for Halloween

Tonight in preperation for Halloween we carved the pumpkin. Once again the excitement of the event was too much for Kylie. She helped with the design and let Brian do the rest. She is resting up to hand out candy tomorrow.


Bonus Shots: Every Halloween when I was little my Uncle Bill and Aunt Gloria always came over and helped me carve my pumpkin. Maybe next year they can come and help Kylie!

Happy Halloween!!

Fiesta Night

Our friends Hugo and Jess called and asked us if they could come over and cook us dinner one night this week. They figured the new parents needed an extra set of hands in the house. I think they just wanted to spend time with Kylie. However, they started the evening with amazing Pina Coladas (they have some top secret recipe) and followed that with some awesome fajitas.


Kylie decided to dress up for the occasion and wear her new outfit from the Strachan's (ironically it is the only shirt she has that is long sleeve that fits her right now - supposed to be in mid 40's tonight). She had to have her pacifier and she was quite jealous her dinner and her drink were not as good as ours.



Hugo made Brian's Pina Colada with a straw to allow him to feed Kylie and drink at the same time. Luckily Brian only had one Pina Colada as he warned all of us of his Asian Karaoke interests. We thought he would be singing:

"If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you're not into yoga etc etc.."

It was a fantastic fiesta night. Even Mac enjoyed himself. Now Brian, Mac and Kylie are all sleeping! Thanks Hugo and Jess.. Please feel free to stop over and cook anytime!

Happy One Month Birthday Kylie!

Where has the time gone? (I feel like we start every post by saying that). It has been a month since Kylie was born and we are overjoyed! It is hard to sum up the last four weeks in a few words as it has been tiring, rewarding, emotional, gross (diapers, spit up, projectile vomit) but one word I believe Brian and I would both agree on would be AMAZING. She is growing and changing so much everyday, we are afraid to take our eyes off her that we might miss something. Her latest thing is to look and stare at everything. She loves to go for car rides or walks in her stroller. She loves her daddy and lights up when he comes home from work etc.



We tried to calculate the amount of diapers, wipes, formula etc that we have gone through in one month. We estimate almost 270 diapers! Forget counting the wipes that is too hard!

Kylie had her one month doctor appointment today and she is doing fantastic. She now weighs 7lbs 14 oz and is 20 1/4 inches long. She is growing super fast!

To celebrate her One Month Birthday we took our little pumpkin to the Pumpkin Patch. Kylie decided to wear her pumpkin hat, her Halloween socks (thanks Zoe) and bring her purple Halloween cat. One of the things that Brian and I love so much now is to experience all the things through the eyes of a little one. Although she slept through most of the Pumpkin Patch experience it was great to be there as a family!



We can't wait to see what the next four weeks will bring! Also, make sure to check out the friends and family page (right hand column click Friends and Family) as we have had some new visitors at the Lum House!

Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes

Need your help! The following pictures were taken from a package received the other day for Kylie. It is apparent to us that someone purchased something for Kylie on Ebay, given that it was addressed to Kylie. However, the seller most have switched shipping lables by accident as Kylie received Nicorette gum. We don't have any details to contact the seller or even know who the package was supposed to be from. We hate to know that someone might have sent something and unfortunately things were not sent correctly. Please let us know if you can help solve the case.

Kylie's First Bath

Tonight was Kylie's first real bath we are over the sponge baths. What a totally different experience for all of us. Sponge baths were usually a lot of screaming and crying and tonight Kylie loved her bath. In fact she probably could have stayed in their longer.

Mac happy she was getting the bath and not him

All Clean and Very Happy
