Happy Halloween

One of the houses in our neighborhood

 Happy Halloween from Melrose!  Ava was a Ballerina Bee for her first halloween.  She didn't mind dressing up and I think she enjoyed her pumpkin.  She held it the whole time we were out for Trick-or-Treat.  I think the best part for her was getting the candy or maybe for her mom and dad.  She had a blast either way!  Next year will be a lot of fun!

Where is the candy?

Can you tell she's have fun:)

Craving Pumpkins

Ava got to crave her first pumpkins this weekend!  Well Daddy did most of the craving so she watched most of the time.  I don't think she liked getting messy:)  I think they turned out really great, Cary did a awesome job:)

Pumpkin Picking

We went to Connors Farm in Danvers, MA to pick our pumpkins.  We had a lot of fun eating apple cider donuts and watching the pigs race.  Ava got to pick her pumpkin which was so cute:)  She loved watching all the animals and maybe next year she can ride some of the rides.  It was a beautiful fall day for pumpkin picking.

Ava 11 Months

Ava is 11 months today!  I just can't believe my baby girl is almost a year!  She is changing every day and trying new things.  Her biggest thing this past month is she started baby signing.  Also she's talking and crawling every where.  She loves her books and flips through them every day.  Ava is such a delight and the love of our lives:)

Newburyport Fall Festival

 We went to a fall festival in Newburyport this past weekend.  It's a cute little harbor town, full of great shops and food.  It was a beautiful day to walk around and take in all the sights.  Ava loved looking at all the people and dancing to the music.  We had fried dough and it was so good!  Ava didn't have any but I know she would have loved it:)  It was a wonderful day!
