19 Months/Happy Halloween

So our little one is now 19 months, and just celebrated her 2nd Halloween...but the first where she got to do the trick-or-treating. She even managed a thank-you at most of the houses we went to (7 in total). She was a little hesitant at first, but quickly warmed to the idea.

Maria has also been a bundle of energy lately. It may have to do with the shorter days and slightly cooler temperatres (I say slightly as we have had many days of above average weather here) meaning that she has to spend more time indoors than out. That doesn't stop her from finding ways to amuse herself though...and us at the same time (just check out the crazy hair). She has also amused herself a lot in the last two days with her newest phrase: "Mommy, don't do that." Guess she hears the latter part of that phrase a bit much as of late :)
