Halloween '09

So, this Halloween was kind of a 'poke fun at' holiday. Some therapists that work with kids with the Distal Arthrogryposis (which is what Caden has) lovingly call them "lobsters" because of the way their hands are kind of stiff and move like little mittens or 'claws'. Darn it all if I didn't find a lobster costume on Babies R Us's website...

This is what the back looked like as he was on his tummy and hands:

And this is the full Halloween get-up at my Mom's house Halloween night; Me and Brando the chefs and our little lobster. YUM. (he's squeal-laughing, by the way, not crying) Where's the butter?

Halloween was so fun. Nugget was so patient. Didn't mind being stuffed into the costume for 3 days, didn't mind sittin in his pot. And actually he thought the pot was kinda fun, just put his hands on the edges and hung out like it was some fun ride as we toted him around. The family loved him, and the pictures turned out so cute. Great day. The holidays are going to be so much more fun now that we have a kid of our own.
