Yes, I know Lexi was a ladybug last year but while shopping for her costume this year I came across another ladybug costume and I couldn't resist. She looks absolutely adorable while wearing hats and with the striped tights it was just too cute.
Here's a little reminder of last years ladybug and bumble bee...
We attended quite a few Fall festivals this year and definitely got lots of use out of Lexi's costume.
Her and Pooh (aka Lily) had a great time at the PLNU festival, they loved standing together and watching the petting zoo animals.
She had a great time picking out her 1st pumpkin of the season, there were lots of choices so she took her time trying to pick each one up until she decided on the best one.
We went to the Halloween Spooktacular at Sea World, she had a great time exploring all the Halloween displays they had set up throughout the park.
When we set her next to the mermaid she wasn't quite sure how she felt about her, she sat still waiting for all the pictures to be taken but did not take her eyes off the mermaid. She was not going to take the chance that the mermaid was going to try to touch her and characters are not her favorite thing right now so I was just happy she was willing to sit next to her as long as they were not touching.
Our fall parties continued with a trip to a boutique store called So Childish. They had a cute little party for little kids so Lily, Lexi and Wilder had a great time. The pictures of her standing by herself still amaze me since the whole walking thing is such a new concept for us and she looks so big standing all on her own.
They are so cute together so I had a hard time narrowing down pictures because Wilder's Davy Crockett costume (homemade by Emily and won best costume) is adorable and so authentic he even went barefoot to the party :) Too bad I couldn't get any pictures where they are actually looking at the camera at the same time....
I know she isn't in "costume" but she is still in disguise and her little face looks so dang cute
Another trip to Balboa Park for their family fall day (which was pretty pathetic) but they were cute in their costumes as always...
Lily is such a good helper she knows Lexi is a new walker so she offered to hold her hand and walk around with her, such a great cousin!
And finally Halloween! Lexi unfortunately was teething pretty bad for a few days and had a fever but we still managed to go to the Trunk or Treat at the Flood. She enjoyed it and there was a lot to look at which always helps distract a slightly fussy/tired baby.
When we got home from Trunk or Treat we were overtaken by trick or treaters so our little bug and bee had a great time hanging out in the entry way waiting for trick or treaters to come to the house. Halloween is Millie's favorite night of the year, what more can she love than tons of kids coming to the door and asking to pet her. Who can resist such a cute combo of a bug and a bee, I will try to branch out next year....
