Halloween Part 1 and 2

So I completely forgot to blog about William's 15mo check up. Basically he's super healthy (yeah) and very large for a 15 mo old. He weighs 27 lbs and 13 oz and is the height of the average 26 mo old... Hmmmmm. I was wondering if he was still really big because our size 5 diapers are tight and I've noticed that diapers only go to a size 6. What will we do then???? Anyway, he was so sweet after he got his vaccinations he told the nurse through a few tears " Da- toa"...which means thank you :-) A tall, healthy, and polite baby. Makes a mommy happy!

OK, Halloween Part 1. Our friends Melanie and Jay had a Halloween Birthday Party for baby Joel (who by the way weighs more than WDP) and their 5 year old Jenna. It was so cute. It was a yucky morning, but the clouds departed and we had a great, sunny afternoon- perfect for a party! Melanie does everything perfectly, and this party was no exception. They went as the Scooby Doo show, we were Jedi Warriors (Chad's idea not mine) and William was Yoda. He refused to wear the costume at the house, but warmed up to the idea once he saw the other kids.

baby Joel has a play yard and William wanted to be in there sooo badly! Finally he made it in and just played. Isn't Joel a cutie Scooby?

Other party events included "Hay rides" in their riding lawnmower- a huge hit, a "pumpkin patch"- adorable (you could even cut decorate with pre cut outs of sticky felt eyes, noses, and mouths)...and of course cake, which I gladly took part in :-)

lHe kept dropping the pumpkin, but this one looks like he's balancing it :-)

The birthday boy! Joel is the most laid back baby ever!

Halloween Part 2: We only went to 2 houses to trick or treat- William didn't really get it, but he was cute trying. We came back home, had our tree stand heater going in the front yard and let WDP stay up too late just playing in the yard with his light saber. (By too late, I mean 7:45 :-) All in all trick or treating was a big success because there were no tears and he kept his costume on.

I am ready for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas- I'm almost finished shopping and am getting William ready to start "school" in January. He's been staying with a nanny, but needs a little more "structure" and I'm so excited bout his new school...and the new Chick Fil A that's being built near it :-)
