Just when it seemed like things were starting to improve, we had our worst night yet on Sunday night. Marley woke up crying around midnight and pretty much stayed that way until about 7 am. Amelia's congestion was still bad enough that she couldn't suck her thumb, so she woke up every hour or so. Jeff took Monday off work and we brought Marley to the doctor - double ear infection.
He started antibiotics and began feeling better right away. His last two nights of sleep were 14 hours (!) and 12 hours long. Unfortunately Amelia didn't get the "we're sleeping now" memo, and she's been up a lot during the night. She's still a little congested, so I'm hoping when that goes away she'll go back to sucking her thumb at night.
Despite the sleep deprivation, we enjoyed a lovely sunny Seattle day today. We traveled on foot to the post office, bank, toy store, library, and grocery store.

Yes, it is. No, it's snot.
My poor babies are sick. Marley is so congested that he can't even blow his nose. Amelia is just confused and angry that she can't suck her thumb at night. So, she wakes up crying every half hour. Maybe tonight will be better...
Oct 23rd Update: Things seem to be improving. Marley is not coughing as much, though he is still producing lots of snot. He's been sleeping pretty well, too. Amelia has still been waking up throughout the night, but can be suctioned and, fairly quickly, soothed back to sleep. Both of them are in good spirits during the day.

The Pumpkin Patch = Cute
This year we decided to go up to Edmonds to Fairbank Animal Farm, and I'm SO glad we did! For $2.50, we each got a cup of animal food to feed the birds, and a gigantic helping of CUTENESS! We started off by petting the pygmy goats. Anything with pygmy in front of it's name, is automatically adorable.
Marley loved feeding the ducks, chickens, geese, and turkeys. He did get his finger snapped by a goose, which he will probably never forget, but he recovered:)
Other cute things of note: Marley petting a fluffy little duckling and a young calf, six tiny kittens sleeping in a pile with their Mommy, a little piglet sleeping on his Mommy's back, and the incubator where you could watch chicks hatching out of their eggs.
Other things that were fun, but not necessarily cute: a giant tee pee to play in, wagons to ride, a hay tunnel to crawl through, and a mini corn maze. Oh, and we even came home with a pumpkin!

Sorry, Amelia
Bored with choosing his own mismatched outfits each day, Marley has moved on to dressing Amelia, as well. "She should wear the polka dot shirt with a cupcake on it, the pink flower pants, and this pink sweater. I can do the buttons for her. She can't do it because she's a baby."
