Anna's First Halloween

It was Anna's first Halloween and she dressed up as "Anna Banana". She wasn't a big fan of the costume but she kept it on long enough for me to take a few pics. We didn't go door-to-door this year. Instead, we sat in our driveway and handed out candy to all the kids. Anna had a lot of fun watching everybody in their costumes but as predicted, she was in bed asleep by 7:30. 

 

 

 

Anna's First Pumpkin Carving

We carved our pumpkins this past Sunday and I think they turned out pretty good and Anna had a lot of fun. We got 4 pumpkins this year... a big one for daddy, a medium one for mommy, a small one for Banana's and a tiny one for her to play with. I think this will be our new tradition.

 Looking cute in her Halloween Shirt. It says "Mommy's Under My Spell". Isn't that the truth!

 Here's Anna with her First Halloween Pumpkin.

 

 And here they are... the Yarbrough Family Pumpkins. Kevin made the scary one, I made the cat and Anna's is the cute one with the tooth. (I probably should have made it with no teeth since she still doesn't have any.)

Yarbrough Look-alike Meter

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She really is my kid!

Pumpkin Patch

We all headed out to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. We went to Schaefer's Farm Corn Maze in Mayflower. It's stuff like this that makes having a kid so much fun! Now I have an excuse to drag Kevin out on these little adventures. 

 

 

 

 First comes Halloween, then comes Thanksgiving. Looks like Anna's already got the turkey picked out!

 

 

 Thank you Grammy and Poppy for my Halloween shirt. I like how it lights up!

Teething Biscuits... YUMMY!!!

We're working on solid foods now. So far, we haven't been successful. She doesn't like the texture. She does like teething biscuits though. Me? Not so much! They are soooo messy! 

 

RFTC '08

Anna and I participated in the Race for the Cure this Saturday. It was my 12th year to walk and Anna's first! We walked in celebration of Nanny and Grannanny! We love you guys! We had a great time and it was great to see so many people out there supporting the fight against breast cancer.

Remember ladies... save 2nd base and get 'em checked!!! :)

 

 A record 45,928 people walked this year!

 Our walking buddies... Julie and Kellie. Sorry girls, you know if you take a picture with me it ends up on the blog!!! :)

 

 

9 Months

 

Anna turned 9 months old this past Sunday. I can't believe I'll be throwing a birthday party in just 3 short months! CRAZY!!! She is such a good baby. She crawls all over the place, talks a lot, laughs all the time... she's a real joy to be around. She's not pulling up on anything yet and she still hasn't cut any teeth but we're getting close. We went to the doctor this morning for her 9 month check up. She weighs 18 pounds on the dot. They mis-measured her because she was too squirmy so we're not sure how long she is. She had to get her flu shot, which she didn't like. Other than that, everything is great. She eats well, she sleeps great, God has really blessed us with a pleasant baby. (As soon as I say that, she'll really let us have it!)

Happy Birthday Poo's! We love you!
