Halloween Fun

So we decided to wait a few years before diving into the endeavors of costumes and trick or treating, but thanks to the awesome Aunt Susy, Lucia was decked out in her festive Halloween bib and ready to pass out candy. It was a crazily temperate day in Chicago - highs in the 70s and parents in shorts and t-shirts bringing around their kiddos. We went to Tricia and Evan's house to field the masses and we ran out of candy by 7 pm, much to the chagrin of the few latecomers who rang the bell. Luckily, their bags were not very empty so we didn't feel too guilty.

In other news, we're still awaiting some sort of daytime routine. Lucy is nursing a lot more easily which is fabulous, but her napping is erratic at best! She's so much more alert and has a ton more awake time, though, which makes taking her out more fun. Such a squirmer, though, we have a feeling that as soon as she starts crawling she will be off in a flash, so we're enjoying her time of immobility while we have it. She went to her first party the other night, where we celebrated the new president-elect emotionally and watched the massive crowds at Chicago's Grant Park (just a few miles away!) in awe and wonder.

Amy generously loaned me her sunglasses. Perfect fit!
