The Daintys

I love Halloween!  On what occasion other than Halloween can you dress your little one up in tulle, styrofoam, and wire wrapped in nylon, and watch her wiggle around the house while the dog tries relentlessly to figure out what these wings strapped to her body are...  I know neither Leah nor Lucy really appreciated the homemade ladybug costumes, but I will cherish the pictures of them looking out the front door at the trick-or-treaters forever!  Now, Ryan and I are going to watch (another) creepy movie.  Eeek! All the kids at a friend's halloween party last weekend...

Our first attempt at capturing Leah at 11 months  was clearly not very successful. ...But, we got some goodies the next day! (Something about Leah in this picture reminds me of her Aunt Teresa... maybe it's the strawberry tint to her hair?) (If only we had the screechy noise to go with this picture in an audio file!)

Leah had her first spaghetti dinner this week, and it was extremely entertaining,  so we'd thought we'd share these pictures!   Here she is, nice and clean at the start of dinner. It didn't take her long to figure out she liked it! I love the foot sticking out of her high chair... "More please!" By the end of dinner, her legs were plastered with noodles. We put her right into the bath to avoid any possibility that she might become a snack herself to a certain canine...
