We survived Halloween last night (our neighborhood gets TONS of trick or treaters!), and seeing all of the little kids in constumes got me excited for next year and the years to come. My mom sewed many of the costumes I wore over the years (princess, M&M, etc.). Even when she didn't, I was borrowing pieces from her wardrobe. One year in high school, I snaked her maternity overalls and went as a pregnant woman. I guess it wasn't as funny when one of my classmates turned up pregnant for real a couple of years later.
ANYWAY, Corey's first Halloween "costume" (when he hit his first Halloween at about 6 weeks of age in 1975), was being placed inside of a real jack-o-lantern. Sounds slimy! I have no clue what my first costume was (though I have seen very cute photos of us in Raggedy Ann costumes at an early age), but the one I enjoyed most was the M&M outfit I wore several years in a row (one of the bonuses of moving quite often was that you could recycle Halloween costumes since the audience changed).
We didn't get to dress Charlotte up yet, but here's an update on her progress at 21 weeks:
Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long — the length of a carrot. Her eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed.
