So, it's Halloween!!!! Elise's top FOUR teeth have started to pop through. We noticed them coming last Sunday night, as we were driving, and now you can definitely feel the sharp nubs. We had her 6 month doctor's appointment on Thursday, Oct 28, and all is well. She's squarely in the 50th percentile for everything. Nothing astounding to report on that front.

For Halloween, she was a spider and I was her web. Jonathan was adamant about being a "white ghost." So, I made costumes for us this year. We tried them out at our Whole Foods program and tweeked them for the big day. Jonathan did not like only having eye holes, so I cut out an entire face hole for him. Then we tried it out again at our village 'parade,' which was actually 'mayhem.' He preferred it, but I think the hole was still too small and kept slipping. And, today we visited cousins Bobby and Catherine to trick-or-treat in their area. He decided to be Spiderman (one of Bobby's old costumes), which still worked out nicely b/c it matched our spider theme, and was much warmer. He was a real trouper, having gotten up early, pushed through our 3+ hour adventure at the mall to get new phones, the 1 hr drive up there, and then running after his cousins for a good 3 hours.
