Hello everyone--as we move into the fall we have so many "firsts" to look forward to enjoying with Audrey--her first Halloween, first birthday with us, first Thanksgiving, first Christmas and hopefully her first snowfall. Keep coming back to our blog and I will share them with you as well.
Halloween was great! I wasn't sure what to expect and when we started looking for a costume about a month ago I was worried that there would be no Halloween. She did NOT like the cute ladybug that we first got and she wasn't very interested in any dress up outfits. Every time I showed her the ladybug she would through it and yell No, No, No! But one day we were at Babies are Us and she was very interested in the costumes--finally she picked out the lion and even wanted to put it on. So it was settled--she would be a lion (or as she puts it--RRRRR).
For 3 days we celebrated--at her School/church carnival (she quickly learned that at each activity you got candy--what a deal), then at the Zoo--thousands of kids and adults--crazy but fun and finally trick-or-treating in the neighborhood. It was a great week. Every night she was bouncing off the walls. Brad called her "sugar baby", but we all conceded we liked Sugar baby Audrey.
The first photos are from a Halloween festival in the Paseo. They had a little art activity where the kids could get dressed up in paper creations--Audrey wanted to be right in the middle of this. She was so patient and loved her paper dress--she kept it on all afternoon. We should all have paper dresses!
