Diamonds are a Little Girl's Best Friend

Notice anything, sparkly?...


Anything, stunning?...


Radiant?...


I'll give you a clue. It's not just those big beautiful brown eyes!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin',

Yup, Natalie rolled over today for the first time! From her back to her tummy. She did it about half a dozen times in a short period of time and fusses everytime she ends up on her tummy. And everytime Natalie flips over Marisa says, "Look! She's swimming!"

And if you look closely, look who found her thumb! =o)

(Of course, Marisa had to show me that she can roll on her tummy too.)

What life is all about

Marisa: "Mommy, you are special."

Me: "I'm special?"

Marisa: "Yeah, you're special."

Me: "You're special too, Marisa. I love you."

Marisa: "I love you."

Me: "Good night."

Marisa: "Good night, Mommy."

Trick-or-Treat

If you watch Playhouse Disney in the morning, can you guess who Marisa was for Halloween?

Marisa was June from Little Einsteins! No one really knew who she was, but Marisa knew exactly who she was! She loves the Little Einsteins and has always loved them since she was old enough to watch tv!

Doesn't she look just like her? (Thank you Liesl for making the costume! It still fits!) And Natalie was a cute little black cat. The tail on the costume was my favorite.



Halloween this year was extra fun with Marisa. Mainly because this was the first time she was able to understand and enjoy the Halloween festivities and grasp the concept of trick-or-treating. Marisa has been looking forward to knocking on doors and getting candy for weeks now. She has probably worn her June outfit in the house everyday since October started.

Marisa went trick-or-treating with her cousins. She was pretty scared and unsure about Cade's scary skeleton costume!





I really love these pictures above of Marisa. It totally describes her. Before we even started trick-or-treating she managed to get a hold of a lollipop, which is her favorite type of candy, and knocked on doors with a lollipop in one hand and a pumpkin bucket in the other!







Whenever Marisa was allowed to pick out a piece of candy at someone's house she always went for the lollipop. She has a lot of suckers in her bucket!
Also, Tim said that at one house she picked a plastic spider ring and when the lady told her she could pick a piece of candy, she went for another plastic spider ring, and when the lady said she could still have another piece of candy, Marisa went for a third plastic spider ring. haha Marisa obviously doesn't understand the value of candy yet. =o)



Happy Halloween!
