Okay, I realize Halloween is still more than a month away but you have to understand one thing. I LOVE Halloween!!! Not just like it or find it fun, if there was a holiday I could marry, this would be it! (Sorry Matt.) Although Matt loves it as much as I do. I LOVE the decorations, I LOVE the candy, I LOVE finding/making costumes, I LOVE getting dressed up, I LOVE spook houses, and I LOVE scary movies! When September hits, I practically count down the days until October 1st so I can put up my decorations. That being said, I've been trying to decide what to dress Kalianna up as for her first Halloween. Yesterday I went to the Halloween store with my sister to get ideas and we now have it narrowed down to three ideas.
1. A spider. They had a super cute spider costume for babies! It was pretty inexpensive and would fit up to 2 years. All we have to do is change out the black leggings as she grows. Also with this, Matt or I could wear a pig nose and be Wilbur.
2. A monkey. Again, they had a super cute monkey costume for babies, and we do call Kalianna our little monkey a lot. I also thought it would be way cute if Matt dressed as an organ grinder! However, the monkey costume was more expensive.
3. Pebbles. We saw a costume for Wilma Flinstone and thought it would be super cut to dress Kalianna as Pebbles! I know I could make her costume fairly easily as well. Plus Matt as Fred and me as Wilma...too cute! However, we don't know for sure if Matt and I are going to dress up. So would this costume still be as cute on its own?
Thoughts?
Kalianna is now rolling over...both ways. Back to stomach and stomach to back. Look out world! Before you know it, she'll be running around!
Also, I got a new calling yesterday. I'm now one of the Achievement day leaders! I'm super excited! I'll be back with the girls we were teaching in primary.
I miss my husband! Yes, school is back in session. So I barely see him now. We used to work at the same place, so even when school was in, I'd see him during the day. Now its just me and Kalianna. We knew this would be a hard semester, and I'm super proud of him and how hard he works! But i still miss him! Matt leaves every morning before we are up and on Tuesdays and Thursdays, he gets home after Kalianna is in bed. Poor guy! We do get to see him for a couple hours on Monday/Wednesday/Fridays, but usually just for dinner and then he disappears to study. Weekends are now more cherished than ever! So if anyone ever wants to come visit us...we get lonely sometimes.
Kalianna is five months old today! She is rolling over great now (stomach to back) and she is loving getting to try new foods. She is talking constantly, which people at church find very entertaining, and she even has sounded like she's said "mom" a couple times (though I'm sure it wasn't on purpose). She gets cuter by the day! I can usually get her to giggle fairly easily now. She is much more interested in toys and she is absolutely fascinated with the dogs. She even "barks" with them sometimes. The other day was a true test of Sobaka's patience. He was laying next to her, licking her hand, and Kalianna grabbed his tongue. She had it in a vise grip, but Sobaka just laid there and patiently waited for mommy to come to the rescue. Kalianna keeps getting taller and taller! She has grown almost an inch for every pound she has gained since birth! A lot of her onesies fit fine through the waist, but are too short. She has a long torso. She's getting better at sitting up, but can't do it on her own yet without falling forward. She is such a happy, loving little girl! We don't know what we ever did before she joined our family!
Matt does not like Disney's "The Little Mermaid" for the following 4 reasons:
1. She is scantily clad through most of the movie
2. She disobeys her father
3. She practices witchcraft
4. And then she gets everything she wants
I love "The Little Mermaid"! I think the music is fantastic, the story is fun and everyone lives happily ever after. I keep trying to explain to Matt that little girls don't see the movie the way he sees it. They just think its a fun, happy movie.
The other day I turned on "The Little Mermaid" cause I hadn't seen it in a long time. Kalianna really liked the bright colors as the fish swam around on screen. I sent a text picture to Matt at work of her playing with the movie box. He was horrified. I still love "The Little Mermaid". Matt still doesn't.
