Trick or Treat!

Halloween sneak peak. . . .

Today was Bella's halloween party at school.  She's growing up so fast!

We have a Halloween party tomorrow and will try to get pics of both kiddos dressed up.

9 months. . . .

I'm 15 days late on this one, but I think Leo would have come 15 days late if we would have let him cook in my belly that long.

He's a total momma's boy (which I love!)  He also likes to eat, and eat, and eat.  No specific favorite foods yet.  He's back to being a good night sleeper and looks so cute in his pajamas.  He would stand all day if you'ld let him and he loves to bust a move.

Bella's bday season comes to a close

Last weekend marked the end of Bella's birthday season.  Sunday abuela, abuelo, and uncle andy visited.  Fel snapped a few pictures, and this one really made me giggle.  Parenting definitely is like this sometimes. . .

Bella finally got excited for cake, candles, and the birthday song!

This weekend I'm on call.  Bella has been invited to a gymnastics birthday party, but otherwise we are taking it easy.

Saturday adventures

This morning we went to the pumpkin patch with one of our favorite manhattan families.  (They got her an awesome super-heroine outfit!)  The kids (and adults) all had a blast.  After a quick lunch - B, Leo, and I went to Lucy's painting birthday party in Topeka.  This is the second birthday party Bella has been too, I think I have gotten myself talked up to planning her a 4th birthday party next year.

Omaha

We had a blast on our family road trip to Omaha.  Ate some great food, splashed in the pool, explored the zoo. . . . .and got way to little sleep.  We did revive an old Charleston tradition - - Trader Joe's snack shopping spree!

Leo loved his oatmeal for breakfast!

Bella grilled us some steaks at the Children's Museum.

Leo and I enjoyed some outdoor time while Fel and Bel napped.

Bella peeled and ate a million shrimp!

Our little bonbon monster.

Waiting for our pretzels and cheese.

Me: No (Thinking. . . .awwww, she loves being a big sister and wants another sibling. . .) 
Bella: (patting my tummy).  It looks like you have a baby in there.
