Halloween and Home

Halloween

Our girls got to dress up, but we didn't get to do our full family outfit since I went back into the Hospital for another tube to get another pocket of infection out of me. Luckily, we think that was the last one because I'm starting to feel a lot better and I'm home now as of Friday. Chris and I had planned to be Belle and the Beast with our girls dressed up as Mrs. Potts and Chip because they get cute tutus. It was fun to see their outfits together even if we couldn't go anywhere and be a family outfit together. We didn't have anyone come to our door for trick or treating either and didn't go get any candy ourselves so no treats filling up our house!

Claire

She got a new toy that was from when I was a child! We call the rocking horse chocolate because he is dark brown and adorable and was made by my uncle when we were all growing up. The older nieces have had it for a while in Tennessee but they all decided they were too old and wanted Claire and Shay to get a turn playing with it. When I came home she likes playing with me and listened to my heart with her little stethoscope toy that she got a while ago. It was pretty adorable and she is so cute when she is showing how smart she is with the words she knows and communicating.

Shay

Our little 8 month old has a new tooth! She has a small one poking out from the bottom and has now crawled 5 steps at once as of this morning. She's done 2 and 3 before but she was determined to get to mom's IV that hangs down she crawled all the way to it. She can swing and roll around to get places but mostly just moves backwards and can sit herself up as she is wiggling around. Her naps happen pretty regularly now and its so nice to have a schedule and routine that we can predict with our girls especially with me not feeling so well. Unfortunately, she is fully weaned from breastfeeding because of all the antibiotics and other things going on with me, it was easier for her to have formula from now on and even though it is sad, its only a month sooner than Claire did.
