Waldo was found this past Halloween at GG's house hanging out with one extremely windblown parrot. This Waldo made many appearances around town, and even received a couple of jars of baby food for her first trick-or-treat experience. (However, it was the parrot who enjoyed the candy!) The costumes were fun to make, and next year James said he'd get into the spirit with us. Any ideas on a cute (but easy to make) family costume theme?
Over the last couple of weeks we've tried to enjoy the remaining nice fall weather with frequent walks uptown and playing in the leaves. The last couple of days have been unseasonably warm, and I'm inclined to believe its the calm before the storm. Fortunately we're prepared as I was able to finish her car seat blanket and cover for this winter (picture to come in a later post).
A couple of updates about our little girl:
1. She was in the 98th percentile in height and 50th percentile in weight at her 4 month check up.
2. She rolled over for the first time this Thanksgiving weekend (front to back), but has yet to make a repeat performance.
3. She's recently decided to refuse a bottle unless it contains freshly expressed milk and a latex nipple (which was discovered through MUCH trial and error). Perhaps there is an issue with lipase since she's refusing frozen milk that has been thawed, though I'm not 100% certain she's not just picky.
4. She's got one set of "pipes" and isn't afraid to use them.
5. 'Twas the Night Before Christmas has recently become a favorite story.
6. She's free with her smiles and enjoys laughing, as long as no one has a camera or cell phone out to document the occasion.
