Avery & Olivia's First Halloween

The girls had their 5 month check-up on Halloween morning and a lot of outfit changes throughout the day! Grandma Joyce and Grandma Alice both came over to visit with the girls and see them dressed up for their first Halloween.

To start the day off, the girls wore their long-sleeve Halloween onesies that Grandma Alice had brought them a few weeks earlier. They also wore these to the Riverhead Country Fair on Columbus Day weekend.

Both girls had their first colds earlier in the week but luckily never had a fever so they were still able to get their shots. Both girls gained 1.5 pounds this past month to put Avery at 14.6 lbs and 25 1/2 inches and Olivia at 14.8 lbs and 25 1/2 inches.





Grandma Joyce bought the girls 'Baby's First Halloween' pumpkin outfits that they wore to the pumpkin patch earlier in the month. This was their second costume change on Halloween.

The girls then changed into the sweetest strawberries. Grandma Alice brought these great outfits to the girls on Halloween. We had a blast taking photos of them on the front steps and front lawn. We had them sit in their bebe pod chairs and the trick-or-treaters' thought they looked great. One mom even took a photo of them b/c she couldn't get enough!

We definitely had a good time, and I think the girls did too...

My first attempt at blogging...

I was inspired to create this blog about Avery and Olivia from Megan's terrific blog that she created about her pregnancy and birth of her son Brennan. It's so great to be able to check out her blog once a week and see what her family is up to and how Brennan's doing. I hope everyone has a great time seeing and reading about the changes with Avery and Olivia.

The ironic part of all of this is that when 'blogging' first came on the scene, I remember saying countless times to Howie, "I just don't get it, what's a blog?"
