In an attempt to be creative, I decided to make Bryce's Halloween costume this year. I figure he will not let me choose his costume for him in the years to come, so I picked an adorable monkey costume for his very first Halloween (last year he was too small to go out trick or treating, so we didn't dress up).
This past week has been quite interesting. Bryce had his first ever ear infection, which was no problem to him. However, the antibiotic was a pain - side affects are not so much fun. Ok, so it wasn't actually interesting. In fact, it was the opposite. We stayed inside most of the week so we could go to Averi's birthday party on Friday night.
Rina and Allen put on quite a birthday bash for Averi's second birthday. There were tons of people, more food than I could even imagine, and lots and lots of costumes. Averi's blog has some great pics of her costume - but I forgot to get any pics of her. She was a very sweet peacock. But, since she can walk around on her own, Bryce didn't get his hands on her the way he did Maggie.
When the Oxford family arrived at the party, Bryce went straight to Emily. Then, he decided he needed to hold Maggie. No, I didn't say "want", I said "need". He was desperate to hold her. He whined, he begged, and he finally got his way. Maggie was given lots of lovin. And, when she left, he helped John carry her to the car in her carrier. What a gentleman!!!

MMMMM.... Candy.....
Can you see how much he NEEDS to hold her???

Swinging - no, I did not fit in the toddler swing. That didn't stop me from trying, though.
Bryce tried to get Annie to get up and go play with him. He didn't want her to miss any of the fun!
Bryce just wanted to be close...
