Our Little Lamb

I guess it's about time I get a few pics posted of Haddyn in her Halloween costume. See, it's interesting because the costume she wore last year at 11 days old, which was a duck, still fit her so that was the plan. However, LUCKILY my friend took some pics of her a few weeks before Halloween and we discovered she absolutely hated (understatement) the costume and screamed the entire time it was on her. Not to mention the hat was getting NO WHERE near her. Here's a pic of Haddyn in her costume last year. I loved how her lips were still puckered from the binky, cause she screamed last year too, so she kinda looked like she had a little bill.Anyway, after seeing she was only going to scream anytime the dang duck got anywhere near her, I decided to get all crafty and make her a new one. So, I set out in search of a new, exciting (and easy) costume. Thus, one hooded black sweater, one pair of black leggings, two pieces of felt, about 600 cotton balls, and a nasty blister on my finger from the hot glue gun later...the lamb was born. (We were sure to keep her far away from any open flames) She actually enjoyed having the costume on and she had fun meeting new people at the mall. Her favorite new friend was a police officer that gave her M&M's. She wouldn't put those things down once she got them. Here are some pics:Here is a pic of Haddyn with her friend Marshall. He was a monkey, but he got too hot. Yes, we let them strip in front of each other...bad habit I'm sure. Marshall is 2 weeks younger than Haddyn and at least 2 inches taller. They have a literal love/hate relationship. One second Marshall is giving his tongue kiss to Haddyn's open-mouth kiss and then next second they are beating on each other. These are Haddyn's cousins Taylor, Amy, Ashley and William. William is 3 weeks younger than Haddyn and they are in the same class at school. They act like brother and sister, but it's really cute...deep down they are good friends.
William is about the lay the smack down in this one...Haddyn was done playing the Halloween game by the end of the night, but it was definitely more fun than last year and the best part of all was that it fell on a Friday, so Daddy got to be home!!
