Halloween!!!!! (Sorry so late!)

Oh boy has it been a busy few weeks. Halloween and my birthday are so close together that it always takes me awhile to recover. This year I had an amazing idea for Aurora and I to dress up together but I couldn't make it happen in time, so I'm gonna hold onto it for next year. Get ready to be blown away though! This year, I went with something a little simpler. Aurora still doesn't eat candy or sweets so trick or treating is still a long way off. I knew that our only chance to show off her costume would be our neighborhood party, so spending a ton seemed silly. Plus I wanted something I could recycle for another idea I had. Soooo..... Aurora was a rag doll this year, she was still a huge hit!!
The party we went to had a trebuchet to launch pumpkins in the air!
Ready... Set....
GO!!
Aurora saw her first police horses up close!
So curious about everyone...
Clapping for the ladies who were playing music!!
Costume parade around the park!
The one and only time I got her to sit still for a picture.
Silly face!

Oh, did I mention I was a doll too? Yeah, that happened.


Hope everyone else had a great Halloween!! <3 p="p">

What we've been up to lately....

Aurora is getting so big and is really becoming her own little person these days. It's beautiful and exhausting at the same time! So, what's new? Aurora dances... all the time. She sings little gibberish tunes. She's obsessed with the video of the baby who dances to Beyonce and yells "Baby, Uh-Oh-Oh-Oh" every time she's near a computer. She likes water beads and 'coloring' and play dough. She loves to point at cars and yell "Vrooooom!". She gets excited for rides on the 'bus-bus'. She can drink out of an open cup (in small amounts), she eats with a fork (when she has the patience), she brushes her teeth almost all by herself. She knows when her diaper is dirty and she understands what the potty is (thought we haven't officially tried it yet). She knows SO many words, even if she says them silly. It's baffling to me when I think about what she could do just a short year ago... which was none of those things. When people say 'It goes fast', they mean it. I have no idea where the time went. We're already planning for birthday number two, it's mind-blowing.

Painting with water at Hasboro's Big Backyard!

Fishin'!!
Getting a closer look...
She loved this giant wooden xylophone!

Check out this awesome treehouse they have for the kids to explore!
Aurora tried pizza for the first time, she'll get the hang of it eventually...
All dressed up for brunch with her grandparents.
Coloring!!!


My teeny little bean has officially sprouted into a big bean stalk!
