Claire's First Halloween!

On Friday, Mommy and Belle went to the "got chocolate milk?" Halloween Tour at the Children's Museum in Easton. Belle enjoyed looking at the cut-out elephant but was a little overwhelmed by everything else. We'll keep trying...

Claire enjoyed her very first Halloween and both girls, true to form, were the cutest bumble bees ever! We went early but really enjoyed ourselves. Daddy wore Belle's antenna because she didn't want them and Mommy borrowed our neighbor Sarah's wings and antenna from an old costume so that she could be the Queen Bee. Belle walked a bit on her own but was a little confused by it all and didn't want to take any candy. Claire, on the other hand, stuck her hand into every candy bowl she could find and then proceeded to put wrappers in her mouth - that's my girl!




And Annabelle is still enjoying goofing around with Daddy and his beer bottles - boy am I in trouble!




We're also realizing that Claire's quite the opposite of her sister, our cautious one. As she experiments with crawling and trying to pull herself up to sitting and standing, we've experienced one cut tongue and two cut lips, plus a few goose eggs on the head - in just one short week!

The other big news of the week is that we took the front off of Belle's crib and converted it into a daybed. It seems to be helping a little, though we've also figured out that she seems to be waking up when the furnace kicks in at night because the heat is so loud! Claire's having a growth spurt so she's still waking up some at night but both girls are making progress and Mommy and Daddy are confident that we'll sleep again one of these days!
