First Halloween!

So, Bananas of coarse had his first Halloween this past Monday! And of coarse we took a ton of pictures to remember the event by. :) We were originally going to dress him up as a banana (fitting, huh?) but it was a bunting costume and as soon as he realized he couldn't move his legs, he freaked out and wanted nothing to do with it. Then, I found a good deal on a Yoda costume. And with the boy being a huge Star Wars fan, how could I resist? :P

So we started off the day with taking Bananas to see his grandma at work. All the kids in her class love seeing him, and they all were excited to see "Master Yoda"!
Then we went to visit his great uncle, great aunt and great cousin. His first trick-or-treat! He was asleep when we got there, but he woke up and got his candy. We let him nibble on one of the lollipops they gave him, but with the wrapper on! Ever since his 2 bottom teeth came in, he's been staying up until 3am and we need to get him back on his normal sleeping schedule! But he was still happy just with gnawing on the wrapper. :)


Then we went to my parent's church. They do the whole Harvest Festival thing, and they set up games to play for candy and do free pictures and hand out food. It's good times, and everyone's always really nice and happy. So we had Bananas "play" the games, and he loved doing that and getting the prizes. His first prize of the night? 3 little gold fish! Lol. He's fascinated with them, but wants to play with them, and that's no good for the fishies!
Then we played some other games. He had to fling the coins so they landed on the circles.
This one, he picked out a ducky and that was the number of candies he got to pick out.
And then, of coarse, putting the football through the hole. :P
And we let him pick out the candy. He doesn't get any of it this year, but since he's in the grabbing stage, we figured we'd let him have at it!
And we gave him a wrapped Twizzler to nibble on. He was perfectly content and happy with that.
And then we took advantage of the free pictures. Bananas kept looking at everything but the camera, but we finally got him! These were my 2 favorites. :P

And then he crashed. Such a cute sleeping Yoda! <3 He had a blast, though, and he lasted a really long time! Of coarse, it went too quickly for me, but I always have the memories!
Sleeping in the car on the way home.
And then this was his stash, including the 3 fishies he won! Next year, he'll actually get to eat a few pieces. ;)
Hope everyone had a great and amazing Halloween!

Del'Osso Farms 2011!

On Saturday, we took Bananas to Del'Osso farms to have his first trip to the pumpkin patch! :) He was a little overwhelmed by all the people at times, but he was constantly fascinated and even manged to take a little nap!

Of coarse, we had to get a picture of him sitting on a large pumpkin. :P Already having fun!
Choo choo!
He was laughing at grandma and grandpa. :)
Going through one of the corn mazes!
He was helping mom try to figure out where we were in the maze! Contemplation!
After the first maze. We only went through one other one and then decided to take a break and do a few other things. Never got around to the last one haha.
Oops! He knocked over the bottle! :P He refuses to drink water out of his baby bottle. He wants to drink it like the big people do!
He had so much fun! <3
The boy decided he wanted to do this:
I hate heights. So of coarse, I skipped on it. But here he is, crossing one of the broken bridges:
Then we went on the scarecrow ride. He loved this, too!
I love him in sweatshirts. :P
And of coarse, we had to take a picture of him in front of the height pumpkin! My baby's growing so fast!
He had such an eventful night! He passed out pretty hardcore once he finally stopped fighting it. I love taking him to new and exciting places and I can't wait to take him to Disneyland at the end of this month! :) Ha makes me such a happy momma! <3
