This week was Halloween. This year we celebrated more for our own enjoyment than Addison's since she really can't understand what's going on, but at least it was a warm up for what's to come in future years. I bought some mini plastic pumpkin pails at the store as part of her costume. I only wanted one, but the store didn't sell them individually so I bought a small pack of them. Instead of letting the extra's go to waste, I put the rest of the pumpkins on Addison's highchair tray and let her play a while. It was super cute watching her knock them all around and she was getting a huge kick out of it.
Milestones:
First Halloween: This year, Addie was a "Trick-or-Treater in Training" for Halloween. We just took some odds and ends and threw a little something together. She wore a witches hat that read "trick-or-treater in training", a onesie and bib that read "I'm new at this", butterfly wings, a fairy wand, halloween socks, and a fluffy fairy skirt (see pictures below). Saturday night the three of us went to a party at a friend's house and then Sunday night we took her trick-or-treating. We only ended up going to one neighborhood house, but it was really special because Addison had been their first trick-or-treater in three years! Of course Addie wasn't able to eat her candy, but her first treat was two fun-size Snickers bars. The cutest thing ever was that Addison held her little pumpkin pail the from the moment we left the house until we came back from our neighbor's house! It was too cute!
Eating Solids: We made popcorn for Kristin's niece and nephew one night. Addie kept licking her lips watching them eat so we decided to let her try a little taste. Mommy made sure that the piece we gave her did not have any seeds. Addie LOVED it!!
Puppy Love: Addison seems to love our dogs Annie and Buddy. When they play-fight, Addie laughs hysterically!! This week, daddy was holding Addison in his lap while the Buddy sat up against them. Addison kept trying to reach for Bud's ear. Buddy loved the attention for sure because he leaned into her even more.
New noise: There is a new noise that Addie has started making. The best way to describe it is like a grunting. She does it wether she's mad or happy and the tone doesn't change for either one. Shane said it reminds him of the little boy in Forest Gump when he's grunting on the front porch. It is really funny when she does it.
