halloween 2010

  Cleary wanted to be a fish
for halloween this year.  How did I know you ask?  He walked around making fishy face for a month, unfortunately now that the costume is made he seems to have forgotten how to do the face, but he can say (shhsh) and sign fish.

Cleary will love anything he is lucky enough to get for his bday!  But for health and safety we like to keep plastic toys to a minimum.  Most plastic toys have toxins such as BPA's, PVC or lead paint.  Thanks!

Halloween!

For Cleary's first halloween he attended my bf's bday party thrown by me on friday night... it was a Diva Party and mommy dressed up as lady gaga!  He was the perfect baby and slept through most of the party when he was awake he enjoyed visiting with all of the Divas.

blue bird costume

On Halloween we visited my mom who had a small get together so we could hand out candy together... it drizzled all night but Cleary didn't mind.  I made his blue bird costume out of fleece after trying to find a baby bird costume unsuccessfully :( But I love the way it turned out and it looks super cute on him and keeps him extra cozy and warm.  I wouldn't have been able to make it but Cleary's Mimi came over and held him while I finished sewing.
