Baby Vader

Hello there baby vader,

Halloween was a blast! You were dressed up as Baby Darth Vader (per your brothers request- though they then subsequently bailed on their Star Wars themed costumes):

We started the day with your Halloween parade at school. Aunt T and your Dad came by to watch. Ms. Erica carried you since it was a bit overwhelming:

Our friend Rey took the picture above and photoshopped you into a more appropriate environment:

After the parade we went home and got everyone else in costume. Caleb went with a My Little Pony named Rainbow Dash & Noah requested a giant squid that your Dad spent literally all of Halloween Eve making (he went to bed around 5:30 AM), Emma was a yo gabba gabba character:

 

It was an extremely entertaining Halloween. Aunt T came with us, so you and her got lots of good trick or treating in. You were very happy to pick out your own candy and put it in your bucket, though stopping you at just one could be a challenge. You were very polite and said thank you every time you grabbed a piece. You were extremely possessive of your bucket and clutched it with a baby death grip all night long. 

Here is your very first trick or treat experience:

And some other miscellaneous shots from the night:

After Halloween the weekend was pretty low key. You got a weekend alone with Mommy and Daddy so we lived it up a bit. We went to lunch at Daddy's favorite burger spot (Crave) where you proceeded to put the onions from my salad on your wrists as bracelets. Then you decided you'd wear the boys motocross helmet for the rest of the afternoon while cruising around in your sweet ride. You are a crack up:

 

 

We also took some pictures with Grandma, so I'll get those uploaded when I get a chance. You are rocking away with your words and love being in the middle of whatever action you can get into. You're getting a bit feisty and have been known to hit/bite when you're not getting your way. Yelling at you doesn't seem to work as you mostly find that hysterical, but time outs seem to at least get your attention (again, you love being the center of attention, so if we pull you out of that you're less than thrilled). Regardless, you make me smile constantly and I am so very happy and lucky to have you in my life. I adore you sweet pea, happy halloween!
