Baby Halloween Party

Today we brought Hailey to a Halloween party hosted by my friend Robyn and her baby Eleanor. It was a fun little play date with Ellie, Max and Alex. Hailey really enjoyed herself!

Pumpkin Carving!

Last Sunday we decided to carve a pumpkin with Hailey. It's her first Halloween and we want to make the most of it. We love Halloween but now it's even more exciting with Hailey around. She really liked playing with the little shovel that comes with the kit, so we let her play with that and also feel inside the pumpkin which she loved!
We took a Halloween photoshoot while we were at it. (This isn't her costume by any means haha).

October!

Wow, I can't believe it has been more than a month since my last post! We've been really busy. First Hailey and I visited the family in NB. We left Sept 13th and came back the 30th. It was really nice seeing everyone and of course allowing them to see Hailey in person a few months older! Although it was wonderful, it was a bit more stressful this time around because Hailey wouldn't sleep very well. She was up almost every hour if she didn't sleep physically on me. At the time I blamed it on the time change but her naps were adjusted and she went to bed at the same time. Now that we're back, she is sleeping through the night again! So, I've come to believe that it was separation anxiety since it is common around this age.

When we got back to Vancouver, we had a little get away weekend in Tofino for the weekend. It was really nice to have our first little trip with just the three of us! Hailey did wonderful and was so patient with the travelling (which isn't hard since she loves the car). She napped on the ferry, and had another nap later on in the car and went to bed on schedule! I think Hailey had a good time..she really liked the beach:)

Another update is that she is now 10.5 months!! I haven't gotten her weighed or measured in a while but she is into 18 month clothes!! She is growing too fast. She isn't crawling yet, or going from laying to sitting for that matter. She did, however, just started pulling herself up on her play table. It's not perfected but it's a start. She can also take steps with me walking her.

Other developments include her clapping when she's excited, dances with music and just recently started using a sign to let me know she wants her bottle (thumb to lips in a repetitive motion). I didn't even teach her this and someone else actually pointed it out to me that that's what she was doing!
She has been eating very well too! She now eats yogurt and cheese (which is a relief considering I thought she had a milk protein intolerance in her early months), as well as foods that we're eating. For example she ate turkey dinner with us and we had chicken stir fry the other night and pancakes for breakfast with us this morning! I just alter it a bit for her. Hailey loves food, just like her mom!

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I will leave you with a beautiful picture of her in Tofino! Well... a couple of photos!
