11 months

Abigail is 11 months old today.

I am so excited!
 Because with each month that passes she gains a little more independence
and we get to know even more of her.



She is still as smile-ly as can be and delights in delighting others.
(Unless of course it's dinnertime and we are at home and then she yells!)

She is very cuddly
(unless of course she's rather be moving and then she's wiggly)

I predict this next month we will see her taking off and walking on her own!

 

 Here are a few of her precious faces:

 

 

 

 

She is a thumb sucker!
And we love it! 

We love you Abigail Jean!

For some reason, there was a lot of this on Halloween.



Not sure why.  Definitely can't blame it on sugar.
But hence, there are zero pictures of Abigail in her costume.

She was a cuddly little lion who hated her head piece and wore the costume for a total of 20 min. 
(good thing it was a hand-me-down from Peter)

The older two enjoyed carving pumpkins with daddy.

The special thing about these pumpkins? 
we grew them.  and they were a decent size!

 

Hannah drew both faces this year and Matt did the cutting.

Okay, there were a few minutes of crazy joy when we put the jack-o-lanterns outside.

 

And then we put Abigail to bed, got dressed in costume and the trick or treating began.

The larger Spiderman stayed at home to pass out candy,
while the younger Spidey and cute bumblebee went out trick or treating with mommy.

And the jack-o-lanterns greeted all who passed by!

 

Boo!
