Boom's first Halloween

Well it was not really Halloween but for whatever reason the city of Troy always has trick or treat on the Thursday before Halloween so tonight was Boom's first trick or treat. We didn't take her trick or treating (since she is almost five months old that would be a pretty obvious Mommy and Daddy want candy night), but she did help us pass out candy for the first hour. We dressed her up as Winnie-the-Pooh and she looked adorable. Boom's mommy was surprised by the number of Michael Jackson costumes. I mean I know that he passed away this year but some how seeing six and seven year old kids dressed as a dead 80s pop star just seems odd.
Anyways Boom got fussy after the first hour so Boom's daddy passed out candy and mommy and Boom came inside and got ready for bed.
We are very much looking forward to the weekend which is Boom's five month mark and Boom's Daddy's birthday. YAY!!!

Boom's favorite bib - and new favorite food

Well Boom has really started to get better at eating off the spoon. She is wearing here favorite bib here. It says "My Auntie Loves Me."

Additionally Ms. Boom has new favorite food. It is sweet potatos. I personally think YUCK but hey that is what she likes. So here favorite food list is currently as follows:

1. Peas

2. Prunes (I know right)

3. Sweet Potatos

Personally I think she may be a little weird here. She does not really like fruits and we recently found out that she is allergic to bananas - which is a really unusual allergy in a baby. The doctor says to try again at one because she probably will out grow it by then.

Boom's first trophy

Well I am extremely biased but I have always thought that my baby was one of the cutest around (I actually think the cutest), but yesterday we got a little bit on of confirmation of that. Ms. Boom won third prize in the under 1 catagory at the Halloween parade. she was soooo cute as Winnie the Pooh and here are the pics to prove it!!

Pics from Aunt B's and Uncle R's visit

I pushed the pubish button to fast. Here are the pics.

Visit with Aunt B and Uncle R

Well this has been a busy month which is why there has not been an update recently. Most importantly on October 1st Aunt B got two weeks R&R from Iraq and Uncle R had not yet deployed so we got to see everyone at Nana's and Papa's in Virginia. It was awesome! Boom loves Aunt B and Uncle R and trust me the feeling was mutual. I think Boom's mommy's favorite part was coming downstairs and hearing Aunt B explaining the use of the MK 4 rifle in a sing song voice. As Aunt B pointed out as long as you say it in a sing song voice babies just love to listen. It was very funny. Another funny part was Uncle R getting very upset (rightfully so) that there is no "I love my Uncle" stuff. There is some Aunt stuff but no Uncle stuff. If anyone is looking for a market there is definately one here!!!! Here are some pictures from the visit. It was great!!!
