Halloween

Deborah's first Halloween was spent dressed as a flower and hanging with her cousins. We went to Uncle Chris' house and trick or treated with Tanner, Kendall, Finlee, Noah, Kennedy & Paxton. Grandpa David pushed you in your stroller and you fell asleep halfway through the fun. Afterwards we  went back to Uncle Chris' and stayed the night because Uncle Chris & Aunt December went to Costa Rica to celebrate December's 40th birthday. 

I've always thought you were a little needy child, and expected that while we were staying at someone else's house you may have a hard time sleeping but child, you are one for the books. last night i managed to get you to sleep and no sooner than i put you in the pack n play, you start wailing. I decide that instead of throwing you in bed with me (which I know is what you want) that I will try to soothe you while you remain in the pack n play. That lasted for about 90 minutes until I finally caved because 1) I am a TOTAL sucker for you  2). I was afraid you would wake up the kids and I would have three in bed with me. 

Mommy really has to devise a separation plan from you. You almost refuse to nap in your crib now too. I keep allowing you the snuggles because I know they are short lived and I secretly LOVE them. Also, I'm not sure that this extra clingy behavior isn't attributed to the fact that you are teething (poor baby).
