Happy Halloween from our Little Lion

The Allen Ranch was feeling under the weather for Halloween, but we made the best of it! After we all got some much needed rest we headed out for a small outing to our local mall to show off Jonah's super duper cute Lion Costume. Then, we did some trick 'r' treating in our neighborhood, which made a lot of our neighbors really happy. We laughed about how the candy we were getting was really for our benefit and not Jonah's. Though he had some of the treats that we handed out. We really have not introduced candy to Jonah, but when I have made a few attempts to give him chocolate he really is not a fan.

As Jonah cruises into nearly his 16 month he is truly such a joy to watch grow up. He is obsessed with books. He brings you book after book and crawls into your lap to read, or as you can see from the current album he likes to read in his chair. He has recently learned the sign for please. And its really cute to see it in action.

Heather and I also got the boys to the Children's Museum for their Halloween Party! Check out the super cute pictures in the new album.

I will have to retract my previous statement in which I made the claim that his molar teeth were worse than his eye teeth. This past week has been rough with a lot of broken sleep. I honestly think that if we had not gotten such rough sleep for 4 nights in a row we would have been in much better spirits on Halloween morning. Though, we are all doing much much better today. And I swear by Coldcalm by Boiron! Seriously, they are amazing!

Happy Fall-And healthy wishes to All-
