Happy Halloween! / Still Getting Better / Almost 5 Months Old!

Hi, everyone. It's been a pretty busy week. I have some photos in this entry that are from the middle of October, when Fischer was chillin' in his swing watching Joe rake leaves...

There are also a couple showing Fischer "finding" his feet this past month... ...and hanging around with Daddy...

...and Jumperoo-ing so much at daycare that he tuckered himself right out!

Fischer is still battling chest congestion, cough, and now nasal congestion! He's not sleeping the greatest at night, and today it's been affecting his appetite, too. So, Daddy's taking him to the doctor for the 4th, yes fourth, time this month. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this cold or whatever, so we can concentrate on teething...which seems to be right around the corner. Fischer's been munching on everything he can grasp--which often turns out to be his thumbs, which get pretty bright red from so much chewing!

Today at Bright Beginnings, almost everyone had some sort of costume on. Ms. Evelyn, our cook, dressed up like a chef. I sent Fischer in his 3rd and final costume--a Jack-O-Lantern outfit. Keep an eye out on the Fisch Finder--there's another video of Fischer.

In this photo, Fischer sneezed just as I snapped the shot...

And then he recovered nicely for a cute little punkin sprout pic! Caleb had a similar punkin sprout jack-o-lantern suit, and Maxim was a blue bunny, and Hailey was a Dalmaitian--soo cute!
There are more photos, because we got some group shots--I just want to be sure I have everyone's permission to go on the blog. Just wait until you see Collin's batman costume!!

Last Saturday, Fischer spent his first night away from us at Grandma D's house. He was up throughout the night like he is at home, but Grandma used a little maple syrup on her finger to get him to calm down when he was really wailing at one point! Grandmas know all the good tips! Joe and I had fun at our party. Our friend, Ben, came from EauClaire with his karaoke stuff and rocked the house.
The whole Enz family showed up--including "Ed", Mother Earth, Dorothy, and a Bag of Jellybeans.

The Caspersons (our "crazy neighbors") showed up and did a little "Welcome to the Jungle".

The "crowd" really went wild when "D-Style" and "V-Disco" did a smashing rendition of "The Time Warp" from Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Also in attendance (but sorry, no photos--you guys can e-mail me if you have pics of yourselves!!!) were George & Joess, Laura, Steve & Karen, and Scott & Donna. So we didn't have many guests, but we had a spectacular time. We're not as young as we once were, however, so the party fizzled out around midnight. Thanks for coming, guys!

Happy Halloween, Everyone!
