Happy Halloween you little dragon you

You didn’t really know what to think of this whole Halloween thing.  Halloween this year fell on a Friday.  At work, mom’s company participates in a big Halloween costume competition.  This year, my group was the Addams family.  Mom was Wednesday Addams.  We got robbed and got second place.  Afterwards, we had our annual Halloween pot luck where everyone brings in super spooky food.  After the luncheon, I was able to sneak out and come get you so we could go to your dad’s company’s Halloween party.  You had the cutest orange pumpkin outfit on but when we got to Dad’s work, we traded this in for a super scary fire breathing dragon!

At Dad’s work, there was a maze made out of hay bales, face painting, games, popsicles and all sorts of fun activities.  You are a little young for most of it (even the baby games) but you got to hang out with other babies (including Ryan and Courtney’s son Clayton – a sweet tiger).  We put all of the babies on the ground where you could roll on each other and try to gum each other’s costumes. 

Mom was SO excited for trick or treaters.  Ever since she left home for college, she had never lived in a part of the neighborhood where trick or treaters went…until now.  We catered in dinner and sat on the front porch along with Trey, Jasmine, Mimi, Papa, Gigi, Allison, Laura and Son.  You didn’t really care about the trick or treaters that much but you did love hanging out with so many friends and family.

The next night we took you with us to Natalie and Evan’s wedding shower at a restaurant up the street.  The shower was on the roof top bar and it was packed.  When we showed up, you were asleep but you woke up about 30 minutes into the party.  Like always, you were a great baby and let mom and dad stick around awhile as we caught up with friends.  You loved the fire pits and of course the fans around the restaurant.  You continue to amaze us with how laid back you are and sweet.     

You have FALLEN IN LOVE this UCONN huskie your dad’s friends got you.  I think you think it is Missy.  You discovered the house that the Friends gave to you.  You have started to press the buttons, flip the switches and dance to the tunes that it plays.  You LOVE prunes!  You gobbled up the whole bottle.  

You don't like when we have to wipe your face.  This is problematic because you are the messiest eater I know.
