So Chandler had a little Halloween party at daycare a couple of days before Halloween, I love the fact that her babysitter [Carla or G-maw] is so involved. When I arrived she was asleep amongst all the chaos- smh how does she do that.

 

She finally woke up and was so interested in everything and everyone around her. We decorated little pumpkins and sparkly ghosts.

She then had her picture made with an owl mask Carla made her in her Halloween pjs.

They then had festive snacks, which bug was too little to partake in, and everyone ran around on sugar highs.

On Halloween night we had my parents, my grandparents and Spencers mom over to pass out candy and see Chandler in her costume. We kept it simple with the meue: chili, caramel apple dip and caramel apple cupcakes... can you see a trend there :)

 Her dad picked out her costume this year and she was so stinking cute but she didnt stay in it long since she just stayed inside and slept.

 

 

 

 

and she's out again

Baby girl is 4 months old!

Wow, 4 months, I still feel like I just had her yesterday but I'm pretty sure I will always say that with her milestones.  She had a great checkup:

Weight- 13lbs
Height- 12 1/4
Long, slender little thing <3

She is giggling and squealing like crazy and she loves to blow bubbles.  She started daycare this month and she loves Gmaw's [Carla] house; she actually sleeps all afternoon and night so I'm sure the kids are wearing her out there.  She is constantly chewing on anything she get her hands on and pretty much always has her hands in her mouth.  This past weekend we transitioned her into her crib and she has done so well with that [I think Ive had a harder time].  We also bought her a jumper which she loves but like all other things she has a short attention span for it.  She sits up assisted so we like to let her sit in her Bumbo and she is still doing well with tummy time [almost rolling over]. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the fair with Aunt Gwen and Ungle Jason

 

Her first pumpkin patch-she wasn't amused

Pumpkin Patch & Fair

Can I just take a minute to say- I love Fall! I love everything about Fall.  The weather couldn't be anymore perfect.  I love fall clothes better than any other season- layers, lots of layers because you're going to wake up in the morning freezing your tail off and then sweating like crazy by noon [well, especially in the south].  I love pumpkins [not so much in everything I drink or eat though]. I love mums.  I love Halloween.  I just love Fall!

 

I needed to pick up some mums and I really wanted purple [Marion Co.] and orange [Go Vols] so after talking to my mom we decided our best bet was Grandaddys Farm in Estill Springs.  So on Saturday little miss and I loaded up and headed that way with my parents.  In true fashion I fiddle farted around all day and we didn't get over there until late but I was able to snap a few pictures of bug before it got too dark [she was in a horrible mood so I couldn't get a smile out of her to save my life].

So I got my mums and we hightailed it out of there to meet my sister and brother-in-law at the fair.  I was so excited because I thought bug would love it! All the lights and noises, that should be right up her alley, right?? Once again she was just like ehh and could have really cared less.  Like I said she was in a mood :/

I on the other hand was in heaven, I love the fair... well at this stage in my life I love fair food... not so much the actual fair- I've come to realize its a dirty place, its crowded and makes me antsy.  That being said when Chandler gets old enough I hope she loves it too and I will just get over myself so she can make great memories like I did as a kid at the fair.

Chandler is 3 months!

Little miss is definitely coming into her personality.  She is smiling like crazy and gurgling [trying to laugh out loud]- she has also discovered her voice so she squeals when she gets excited- cutest.thing.ever!.  She loves to be talked to and has started blowing bubbles.  She chews on her hands constantly and has started over producing slobber so she [and I] is usually covered in it. She adores Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Doc McStuffins and Sophia the First- pretty much anything with music and bright colors.  She sleeps though the night, usually 7-8 hours [she will occasionally wake up but goes right back to sleep after some snuggling/nursing].  Has started sitting up with assistance but has a hard time with the Bumbo seat- maybe in the coming weeks she will master that.  She loves the new play mat that our cousins let us borrow- it has a piano at the end so she kicks at it like crazy.  She has pretty much quit sleeping during the day and only takes 10-20 minute catnaps so we do a lot of things in the carrier or we just lay around all day playing :).  She halfway rolled over but couldn't roll her behind over so she got frustrated and cried- that was a one time occurrence so I'd say in the next month we will have a new milestone added to the list.  She starts daycare next week in preparation for me returning to work in the next couple of weeks so fingers crossed that she and I handle that ok, I'm excited for her to be around other babies but I'm going to miss my little bug like crazy! 

Happy 3 months love!!!

[don't mind the above picture-she's usually a happy baby... she was just not into having her picture taken that day]

Wishing her daddy a Happy Birthday!

sweet chunk of love <3
