Our baby turned one on Sunday, it was a great day. We woke up and celebrated with doughnuts and presents followed by playtime and naps. She is as sweet as they come. She loves to play with and pester her big brother and sister. She is so satisfied when they acknowledge her. She brings so much joy to our family. I love to see them grow and their sibling relationships develop. She is 19lbs and 3oz (50%) and 28 inches long (25%). She is a speed crawler and gaining confidence on her feet. No official steps yet, but it isn't too far off.
We were excited to celebrate with family at Maggie's house for dinner and a reveal party for my brother, Sam and sister in law, Shelley who is due with her second baby (a girl!!) in April. Their son, Hudson is 10 and had the honor of cutting the cake. Everyone was thrilled with the results. We are looking forward to having another baby in the family (and thankful that it isn't mine this time around ;)).
We followed up the birthday fun with Halloween on Monday. The kids were SO excited to get their costumes on. Sully asked if we could go 'Halloweening' as soon as he got home from school at noon. When I explained that people wouldn't be home to pass out candy until after dinner, he was baffled. He said 'but why are you and daddy home now?' We had pizza for dinner and hit the streets. We have an awesome neighborhood for Halloween. The boulevard around the corner get 1,000+ trick or treaters each year. They go all out with decorations and sound effects. We love it. Sully was a pro, he would walk up and say 'trick or treat!' with such pride. Greta followed right behind him and quickly made her way back into the stroller so she could binge eat candy between houses. Piper and I cut the outing short so we could come home to hand out candy. We had about 285 kids at our house this year and were happy to get rid of most of our candy. Dave and the kids came home around 7 and Greta helped me pass out candy while Sully went out again with our neighbor Aidan. He returned on Aidan's shoulders around 7:30. It's safe to say his year was made.
We are already looking forward to next year and have even started to talk costumes ;).
