Halloween @ Sunflower Part 1

Sunflower Day Care had a Halloween Party and Anna was nice enough to forward us a bunch of pictures of our little monkey!  Here's a few shots of Elodie with her friends:

Halloween @ Sunflower

We picked up Elodie early from school to go trick or treating!

Ready to go trick-or-treating



Bye Elodie!

Trick or Treat?!

Elodie really got a kick out of trick-or-treating.  At first she thought it was over after the first house and she just wanted to sit and play with her one piece of candy.  By the 3rd house, she realized she could take as much candy as she wanted!  She seemed to get a kick out of all the costumes and decorations.  Our neighborhood is the best for Halloween!

so excited!

spooky spiderwebs

don't you know all monkeys carry bananas in the pockets?

trick or treat

sure, i'll take 5 pieces

we ran into Coco (the butterfly) on the way home

The Treats

Just like we always did, Elodie dumped out her pumpkin bag as soon as we got home and admired all her candy.  Then she ate a few pieces and threw the candy every where and did about a hundred push-ups.

Pumpkin Carving

Elodie has been very excited about Halloween this year!  She knows all about pumpkins, costumes, trick or treating, candy, ghosts and skeletons!  On Saturday, there was a freak snow storm and we had to stay home all day - perfect day for carving the pumpkin.  We also rearranged the living room furniture (hence the mess) and watched some Gator football (Elodie is in the spirit!)

Remember last year when Elodie looooved the pumpkin guts?  This year, she shied away from the messy stuff - she didn't like getting dirty! 

ooh, slimy seeds

what is that gunk?

18 Month Stats

A couple weeks ago, Elodie went in for her 18 month check-up.  Now that she has seen the Yo Gabba Gabba episode about the Doctor about a hundred times, Elodie was actually excited to go to the doctor!  It was interesting how she was much more interested in what the doctor was doing this time and she only cried when she had to lay down on the table. 

Height - 33.5" (still in the 92nd percentile!)
Weight - 25 pounds even (59th percentile - up 10% from last time!)

High Line

On Saturday, we walked on the High Line.  We wanted to check out the new section that opened this year, but it took us so long to walk the old part that we didn't get to see much of the new part before Elodie had a meltdown!  Here's some pictures, pre-meltdown:

Playing on the seats

In this last picture, she is pointing to a black spot on the wood that she thought looked like a cat!  She started "meowing" to the cat spot!  So imaginative!

Pumpkin Picking

We picked our pumpkin! Remember last year?  This year Elodie picked out our pumpking herself and ran around investigating the whole scene.  Her favorite thing to do was pick the flowers and mash them up, even though we told her not to do that...  She hammed it up for the camera a little bit, but was also caught some more contemplative moments!
 

Elodie + Jasper = Playground Fun

Pedicure

Elodie gets another pedicure from Aunt Ali!  Apparantly, she didn't like the nail polish on her finger nails so she ended up with 10 red toes and 1 blue finger!

More 10-10 pics

More pictures from the birthday party!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Happy Birthday to Mommy.... Happy Birthday to YOU! 

Elodie learned to sing this song - Grammie has a video stuck on her phone.  Hopefully, we can post it soon!
