All Hallow's Eve

As it is the 'firsts' for both Makenna and I, it has been so fun to document and enjoy every minute! However, I am so busy enjoying the process, that I sometimes forget to take pictures or post about our happenings.

This isn't her costume, but she needed a plain white hat that covered her ears and some mittens. We found these at Target......not plain. I told Darren, they are ridiculous and putting something like this on our baby feels the same way when people put ridiculous things on older people. However, she makes EVERYTHING cuter, so I tried a little bit of 'kitschy' in her wardrobe. My little Lammie...

Our morning ritual when she wakes up......I take a big blankie in and wrap her in it, sit her on the chair while she watches me make her bottle. (She's getting less and less interested in nursing these days). She's just so cute in that huge blanket, I thought a "Where's Waldo" picture would be fun.

Last Sunday, we took our little sweetheart over to the park to let her see the beautiful colors that Heavenly Father has created for her. She was so tired, but she just LOVES to be outside. I hope she always feels that way. I love her little angel face looking up at the leaves. This photo reminds me how important it is to look up anyway....

Since she's a baby, parents like me, take total advantage of this fact. WE get to choose what they dress up as for Halloween. I looked at quite a few options, but we ordered one that said "Guppy." I giggled and giggled at that. Evidently, that place hasn't ever seen Finding Nemo. She turned out to be a little clown fish. This is a picture with just the hat part on. So cute!

Darren and I went as Ketchup and Mustard. I thought it unfair if we didn't dress up too. We are so vanilla, that I want us to be fun parents, so we are committed to gettin' in the game. Besides, guppies eat their young, right? So it works. I know.....macabe. I do have 3 brothers you know.....it comes naturally.

We didn't get photos of all our stops, but we had to get one with Grandma Cecile and Grandpa Kay. It's a difficult thing to describe the feelings you have when someone, who doesn't have to, loves you and then loves your baby as if you were their own. Makenna was happy as a clam being toted around by Cecile and Dr. Kay. How we love them.
