Leah's 1st Halloween

It is nearly 8 o'clock the morning after Halloween; Leah is still asleep and I expect that is where she will remain for at least another hour. She was completely wiped out after her grandparent, great-grandparent, aunt/uncle tour of Hendricks County last night (oh, and she also went to Bible class). Needless to say, she loved showing off her costume, chasing around her dog relatives, and getting spooked by some crazy people in masks.

I was looking through old pictures recently and ran across some from last year. I was reminded that, even though yesterday was officially Leah's first Halloween, she did have a costume last year:

At about 33 weeks pregnant, I dressed up as Hope Solo (goalie from the US Women's Soccer Team) and Leah was my soccer ball.

Oh, the difference a year makes...

Our sweet little pumpkin

 I realize it isn't the most creative, but I couldn't resist this classic costume. Isn't she adorable???

"I know you want me to sit still and look cute, but I really want to go chase the dog around the yard."

 

"Who are you and what have you done with my Aunt Carey?"

Playing peek-a-boo with Uncle Mike an hour after her normal bedtime (she was a little giddy).

And here are some more fun Fall pictures:

This past weekend, we went to "Zooboo" with my parents and sister. Leah had a great time and enjoyed barking at the seals. It was hilarious!

She was mesmerized with all of the fish.

At the dolphin show. Can you tell it's her nap time?

The elephants were eating pumpkins. Leah was very concerned.

All warm and cozy in her stroller. She was asleep 2 minutes later.

Picking apples at the orchard with Grandma S. a few weeks ago.

Picking pumpkins

She loves Fall!

I took advantage of a warm day a few weeks back and took some pictures of Leah outside while the leaves were still pretty:

 She really wanted to eat those pumpkins.

Although she looks like Brian (and Uncle Mike) about 90% of the time, I think she looks a lot like me when I was a baby in this picture.

Now it is 3pm and Leah is waking up from her nap. She did sleep until 9 this morning, but I had computer issues and couldn't complete this before she woke up. It seems there's always something keeping me from this blog and, as usual, I am behind on my posts. Stay tuned for one that includes Leah's 8, 9, and 10 month pictures (I promise it will be done before she is 11 months). I can't believe we are only 7 weeks from the BIG birthday. Seriously, could time slow down just a little???
