Boo at the Zoo!!!

We attended Boo at the Zoo this past Sunday! It was a BEAUTIFUL day! Aiden dressed in his costume and we took Ava's but decided not to dress her up that day. She isn't a fan of her costume :-( We will be dressing her up on Thursday for Trick or Treat!

ARRRRRRRRR! Pirate on the train ride.

I still can't believe our baby is already 6 months old! We are going today to have her 6 month check up and her vaccinations. I had her official 6 month pictures done Saturday.

OcToBeR


(Okay....I lost two posts already... so third times a charm....so they say)


The picture above is from a Halloween Party in 1999, gosh, that was TEN years ago!!!!!! We were living in Raleigh and a co worker of mine had a huge costume party. We went as Pam and Tommy Lee. These were in her VIP days! I won first prize in the costume contest. The boobies were a blow up bra and one actually deflated during the party. Takes me back.....


I am just posting links to my new albums as it takes too much time to post all the pictures individually. Time is just something I don't have these days!

Here are some random pictures of little Ava playing in her room, she seems to randomly disappear and roll under anything she can find now a days....so cute! She is also just moving around like crazy, if she wants something she goes after it, just rolls to where she needs to go, it's fun watching her. She is also just about to sit on her own. I can't believe she will be 6 months old next week. I am taking her this weekend to get her official 6 month pictures! No teeth yet but they are coming, hopefully soon! She also does the cutest thing, when I pick her up she starts patting my back...like when I burp her. She must think it's a sign of affection of something...it's adorable!

The last picture on this album is of Aiden. At first glance, you might say "DANA" in a sacastic tone as Chris did when he first witnessed this sight. One would think I am putting to much energy into my current obsession with purchasing my daughter clothes and accessories, however that is not he case, I promise! He has plenty of clothes that so fit him but this was a kodak moment for sure. He just happend to pick out his own pj's and I haven't gone through his drawers in a while to put his older clothes in storage. We all got a good laugh out of it....

This next album are pictures from last Saturday, Aiden had a football game then we went to dinner with the Davis' to celebrate Felix's Birthday. The waiters came to sing at the table and I am not sure who was more embarrassed, Felix or Aiden. We had a nice time!

Sunday we went on our annual trip to the pumpkin patch! It's amazing to look back to last years trip as I was just starting to get a little belly and this year Ava was with us! We normally go a little later in the month however due to the busy weekends ahead we decided to go a little early plus the weather was nice! (Please don't focus on my muffin top, these pictures were my wake up call an I have started working out and plan on start weight watchers in the coming weeks)

There are two albums of pumpkin patch pictures and the last two pictures are of Aiden the morning of his first field trip which was this past Wednesday. He went to Strafford Farms and had a wonderful day!
