What a great day for our little man. Started off pretty normal but when he got changed out of his jammie's he put on clean jammie's for the day...Halloween Jammie's. They are just too cute so they became his outfit for today (until he donned his costume). Early afternoon Declan was in his excersaucer at the front door while Mommy and Auntie T put out the Halloween decorations. The faux graveyard on the front lawn was tremendous. Declan wasn't scared at all, even when we showed him the creepy heads. So far he's Halloween tough.
Late afternoon before Daddy got home from work we popped over to see Hayley and Owen so that they could get a couple pictures together. Owen was a cute little Lion and Declan was a Monkey. The best part was when they first sat down on the floor together, Declan grabbed onto Owen's foot and Owen was reaching for Declan. They were both big smiles and there was some baby babbling. It was baby play and it was adorable.
They hung out for a little bit and then we were on our way home to get ready for Declan's first Trick or Treating. All dressed up in his whole Monkey suit, Daddy carried him and Mommy held the treat bag/pumpkin and Declan's little Monkey buddy and an umbrella to try and keep Declan dry. At one point when I was walking ahead Declan spied his Monkey and he was reaching out far to try and grab him. From that point on Declan held onto his monkey while we visited different houses. I think we went to about 10, maybe 15 in total and Declan was so good. Even when his monkey hat was falling down over his eyes he simply remained calm and cooperative.
After coming home and taking off the costume Delcan sat on Mommy's lap at the front door so we could see the kids that came by. He was babbling away and blowing raspberries. We were sitting in the dark too and he was just so happy. Then finally we sat down on the floor in the TV room and poured out Declan's treats so he could see his haul (even if he can't eat any of it). I love that the first thing he grabs is a KitKat. Now I know why the one thing I craved while pregnant (and carried with me everywhere) was KitKat bars. It was all Declan.
