Watch out for the little pink butterfly!
Elise celebrated her first Halloween! With Halloween being mommy's favorite holiday, I had already sought out and bought her costumes a month in advance (yes, I said costumes - plural). Mommy couldn’t decide what costume she liked best, so I got her both! She was a pink butterfly and a little black cat (complete with a black and green tutu). We got some great photos of her in each costume. Daddy even got her to stand, practically unassisted, for some of the photos.
Believe it or not, we did take our little four month old gal out for her first evening of trick-or-treating. We dressed her up, in her pink butterfly costume, and took her door-to-door. She did great for most of the evening, and got plenty of attention. Everyone loved her costume and we were stopped many times, so she could be ogled and adored. It was fun, more so for mom and dad, as we got to show her off!
I should also point out that Elise is now extremely coordinated. She grabs at everything with pinpoint precision! We are starting to wonder when we need to baby proof the house. She is still not crawling, but we see it on the horizon. Fortunately, we remodeled and organized the house before she arrived. Aside from our home office, every other room is clutter free. Clint has all our electronics and gadgets hidden away in the hall closet, so there is really very little she can actually get into. Im sure she will still manage to find something to get into, but here's hoping that baby proofing won’t be so bad after all.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
