we also went for our first family theme and chris and i dressed up as mr. noodle and miss. noodle from elmos world...
most people with small children recognized who we were. i thought it was hilarious. daniel had fun running around crazy till he face planted on this gym floor and got a huge fat and bloody lip. good thing elmo was already red.

i also attended a NOSC (Navy Officer Spouse Club) bunco night and i dressed up as a 70's disco chick for that.... but i only took a pic of my big hair... sadly you cant see my awesome burnt orange jumpsuit...
by the time real halloween came around we were all dressed up-out... so we didnt dress up... we went to our neighborhood block party at the park. they had bounce houses... free food... pony rides... and music. we met some friends there and had a good time... we walked home in time for the neighborhood parade to pass our house then we sat in chairs at the end of our driveway to pass out candy... once i could see the trick or treaters fading out the last couple kids got massive handfuls of candy as i didn't want any left in our house.
chris daniel and i all ended up with the flu at some point this month. i had insane migraine and fever and shakes and nausea and couldnt get out of bed for 24 hours... and couldnt sleep. daniel had a little fever and some nausea/ vommiting... chris had all of the above... poor guy always gets it the worst in our house...
i was looking at pictures of my niece amanda at daniels age and seriously my sister and i gave birth to the same baby... here they are at the same age...

he's also getting to be a lot more daring these days... climbing on things... walking down stairs alone... climbing on lots of stuff... its fun to see him explore. he is still super cautious so i never have to worry too much what he's up to.
i also got an awesome gift this month... some tools!!!! now i can do lots of crafts and things i really have wanted to do and now i can!! yay! some fun stuff is in my future... and the store clerk was totally lame and like wow this is a nice gift for your husband and i was like... no they are mine thank you!
daniel has been so good going to my check up appointments with me. my implant is doing awesome (i actually got my permanent crown in november!!) hes really good at listening carefully to the doctor and quietly waiting our turn. here's what this implant looks like on x ray....

elmo is a daily occurrence at this household. we watch elmos world at least once... and he watches and plays at the same time.. one day i decided to pull out his little sleeping bag and he layed on the floor and watched the whole dvd. it was pretty cute..
he also had a lot of fun one day doing his own hair.. with some lotion. he thought he was so funny and awesome. luckily all the mess was on his hair and a little on the dresser.
he also likes to help me clean. i need to clean more often when hes awake so he willl keep helping. sometimes he's just in the way but oh well right? how else will he learn.
he loves to make faces at himself on the phone... and then we end up with a bunch of pics of himself... with dried yogurt around his mouth... awesome right?
he loves cars. if i haven't said it enough. he loves cars. plays with them all day. he sits on this stool and pushes them around the chair and then he kneels at the coffee table and pushes them around that and then he kneels at the fireplace and moves them around there.. all day. its too funny..
aunt sharon sent us this super cute baby pluto doll and daniel loves it. it mostly stays in his bed for night time but this one day he had to have it everywhere he went including the swing at the park.
while hanging out with our good friends the millers chris was playing a game on his phone and pretty soon all the kids were gathered around him watching intently.... i'm not sure chris even noticed the kids for a long time as he was way into the game too... haha and aida was having fun showing me her giant diamond. she's my little friend who i really like as she reminds me so much of amanda.... who i miss a ton. love when we get to hang out with this family.
that was basically october.... good month. happy times were had even though we were super sick for a bit of it....
