Baby's First Halloween

Today is Halloween. Just in case you hadn't noticed. We were invited over to Jake and Merrie Beth's house, and they said Chloe would be in a costume, and we were welcome to dress up if we wanted to. Jason and I didn't, but I wanted to put Kayla in something. I had picked out a cute Tigger outfit but it turned out to be too warm for the heavy fleece, so Mommy got creative and Kayla went to the "party" as a ballerina. Here are the cutest monkey and ballerina you'll ever see. Chloe's outfit even had a removable tail. So cute!

Watching the Sky

This evening Jason and I decided to take Little Miss for a walk. She was supposed to be napping, but wouldn't actually fall asleep. So we thought putting her in the stroller would do the trick, as it has before. No such luck. We walked about a mile and a half total and she was still wide awake when we got home. Oh well! We walked to Safeway and got drinks, then sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful sky for a while. Aren't the clouds gorgeous?

Then, on the way home, the sky lit up with a fabulous sunset. I took several pictures to capture the sheer beauty of the autumn sky.

3 Months!

I can't believe it's been three months already. In some ways it feels as though we just went to the hospital to meet our little bundle, and in others it feels as though we've had Kayla as a part of our family forever! This picture makes me laugh. We were trying to get her 3-month picture with the giant teddy bear, but she kept lifting up her leg for some reason. I'd prop her up and grab the camera and she'd instantly stick her leg up in the air again. I have no idea why!

In Perspective

Today I did Kayla's laundry and threw in a few of our clothing items. I've never washed our clothes with hers before, and when I was pulling them out of the dryer I was struck by how tiny her things are. The difference between her pants and ours really boggled my mind.

End of the Day

The sunset was beautiful tonight, even though it was super cold. I think it was raining in the southwest, the direction in which this picture was taken. It looked like it might be decent, but when I went out to take the picture it was freezing! The thermometer said it was around 40 degrees. Brrr! It's going to be a cold night.

Grey Skies

It was rainy today and the clouds were gorgeous. Here's what I saw on the way home this afternoon.

Standing Up For Herself

It's hard to tell in this picture, but Kayla is holding herself up on her own legs. I'm just keeping her from falling over, because she doesn't have the trunk strength to hold herself upright yet. She's pretty good at it! We were practicing standing during playtime today.
