About 2 weeks ago, I had a dream that Little Man had his bottom tooth. The next day, he was chewing on my finger and, whoah! Guess what I felt trying to come through? I couldn't see it, but I could definitely feel it! By the end of that week, I could feel not just one tooth, but two teeth trying to poke through.
Now, the teeth aren't all the way out yet, but they are definitely visible. It's crazy and sad to think that I will never see that toothless smile ever again. I get a little teary-eyed thinking about how fast he is growing up and changing...

Boo!
It's been awhile, but with school and trying to keep up with such a mobile baby boy, I haven't had much time to update.
But today, during Little Man's second nap (I think we're officially down to 2 naps a day!) I am taking the time to write.
I am officially counting down to Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays. I love dressing up and decorating. And on Halloween night I love to see the costumes the kids in our neighborhood come up with. (Although sometimes I feel so old because I don't recognize the character a child is dressed as....)

This year, I am making our costumes. I decided due to his blond hair and his affinity to hit things, Little Man will be Bam Bam Rubble.
So that means Dear Husband and I are going to be Barney and Betty Rubble.
All 3 costumes are relatively easy to make, so instead of shelling out $20 each (at minimum), I'll have all 3 of dressed up for less than $15. Woo hoo!
To add to Little Man's first Halloween fun, we picked up some pumpkins at a local nursery to carve later this month. (Dear Husband and I learned a few years back that you shouldn't carve a pumpkin more than 2 weeks before Halloween because rotting pumpkins on your front porch are not attractive!)
Not our pumpkins, but you get the idea...
I will try to remember to post pictures of our creations. I also want to throw out there that my pumpkin will be better looking than Dear Husband's. Don't feel bad for him; It's one of the few things I can actually do better than him....
