Boo at the Zoo

We took Lexi to Night of the Living Zoo this past weekend - and she LOVED it! It helps that she adores (ADORES!) her Halloween costume - especially the wings! She was great about saying "Trick-or-Treat" and "Thank You" as she collected her goodies and let us take lots of pictures. Here are a few from the evening:

Dress Up Time

Saturday night, Lexi played dress up with Nana. These are 8 of the 56 pictures we took. Lexi kept posing for the camera and when we'd say 'all done' she would reply "No! More cheese!" meaning she wanted to say 'cheese' and have her picture taken again.

Go Wildcats!

Count Your Blessings (or Pumpkins)

We have been practicing counting to 10 a LOT lately. Some days, Lexi can say her numbers in order perfectly! Other days (like today) it's more of a random skip-count. She also really, really, REALLY loves pumpkins.

We are also planning on her being a ladybug for Halloween. Since she loves to make animal noises, we weren't sure what to tell her that a ladybug says. We just went with "Ladybugs say Trick-or-Treat" hoping that would prompt her to say 'Trick-or-Treat' come Halloween. It worked great for us, but we may have confused her for life about what sounds bugs make.

Just Because
