Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween! I love that Halloween was on a Saturday this year! Libby has been in costume all day long. She woke up and wore her princess dress, crown, and sparkly shoes to breakfast and the grocery store. Then we came home ate lunch, napped, and got up and got ready to trick or treat. We ended up going to a big Halloween thing put on by the University. They had lots of games and tons of candy. She really enjoyed it. I loved that it was inside so we didn't have to wear a big coat over her costume plus it was nice that Brynn didn't need to be bundled up. Brynn really enjoyed watching everyone tonight too. She was a bear if you can't tell from the picture. Libby really understood Halloween this year. She even started to appreciate other kids costumes and even thought a few were funny or cute.

Libby Update

Libby is doing much better with her broken collar bone. She has to wear her support straps until November 17th. However, she is able to move her arm with little to no complaints without it during her bath and in the morning when we get her dressed. She is supposed to wear the straps all the time. In fact, when they're not on she does ask for them so I think it feels better to her to wear them.

Girl Down, We Have A Girl Down

Libby fell down the stairs on Sunday and broke her collar bone. We rushed to the ER and they did some x-rays and confirmed what I knew to be true long before they said it. She spent all day Sunday and most of Monday on the couch. She has to wear this clavicle strap for a month. She seems fine now when we have her loaded up on both Tylenol and Motrin but when they start to wear off she's sort of a bear. Poor baby!

Tooth

I noticed last night that Brynn has her tooth coming through!! That probably explains some of her recent behaviors.

Lots to update

Brynn started solid foods last weekend. Her first food was bananas - well I guess it's also been her only food so far. She seems to like it. Today she ate a significantly larger amount than ever before. These pictures are from last week. She can also roll onto her belly and is going to be crawling soon. She can get her little knees up under her but can't go anywhere - yet. She also has a little friend she's very interested in. Libby's best friend, Piper, has a sister right about Brynn's age and they just check each other out all the time.





I know it's hard to tell but Libby is actually happy here. It's also difficult to tell but Libby and Brynn have on matching (but opposite) outfits.


Please ignore the blue icing on Libby's face. There is no "blue icing remover" photo fix like a red eye reducer. Oh well! Brynn really likes playing with Libby!
