Halloween Fun

To celebrate the holiday of tricks and treats, Eli proudly wore three costumes (hey, he did have four costume events to go to, so it wasn't really that excessive...plus, his mom got them all on sale, or as gifts, so it was very affordable, too!).


Eli was a pumpkin for Mom-Baby Hour. It made me chuckle all day, as I frequently call him "pumpkin", even when he is not covered head to toe in orange, so for once it was an accurate nickname for him.

All the mamas (and a daddy) and babies


Eli also wore his pumpkin costume for pumpkin carving at our friends' house. It was an exciting evening, with an infant, a toddler, a dog, many college friends, and an announcement from a friend of a baby on the way!

Pay no attention to the lady behind the pumpkin...


Eli wore monkey costume #1 for a visit to the Moms' Club Halloween Party.

Eli wore monkey costume #2 for the Aquatic Seals Halloween Party with the other mommies and babies from my prenatal aerobics class (and the daddies, too). The Brasel family received second place in the costume contest!

Lots of cute babies in costume

Eli also put on monkey costume #2 for trick-or-treating on Halloween. Eli did not collect any treats (since none of the houses seemed to be handing out breast milk), but he did go next door to say hi to the neighbors and show off his cuteness.

awww....
