Happy Thanksgiving!

Melody started day-care this week! We found a great place near our house that has a small infant classroom with really nice teachers and kids. The anticipation of leaving her was much worse than the even itself. Melody was so busy playing with her new friend Kayla that she wasn't even interested in us saying good-bye. That was a huge relief! She had two days this week and will be going three days a week for the immediate future. She's such a social little girl we were starting to feel bad making her hang out with just me all day.

We got an update of her first day, and yesterday she made us a Thanksgiving gift!

Swimmin'

Melody had her first swim lesson last Saturday. She did very well considering we woke her up from a nap and walked her into a pool. She even got a new back pack for her wet clothes! She was so impressed she threw up on it.

Every night, no matter how crabby she gets, she immediately calms down when she hears us filling the tub. As we lay her down on her rug to get ready for bath-time, she starts dancing and laughing!

We have to make sure to give her her fish to chew on.

After every bath, she loves watching Daddy pick up her toys and drain the tub. This is one of my favorite moments of the day.

Halloween

Friday night we decorated our pumpkins! Melody had picked out some stickers of bats and bugs.

We also made sure to decorate the front porch.

Melody spent her first Halloween sweating bullets in her sheep costume trying to stay away from the hungry fox!

We made it down the block and back. Melody was very good, but wasn't quite sure what to think of all the silly people dressed up! We also learned a very valuable lesson about how much candy to buy next year... Thanks Vince and Tressi for the back-up candy!
