Ayla, you seem to get bigger everyday. It is hard for me (daddy) to handle. Basketball season is about to start and I am already thinking about the special moments I am going to miss with you each day. You held your bottle today. Luckily it was already in your mouth, so it just worked out well. Halloween is this weekend, and mommy bought you a flower costume. Spanky and Scrappy are going to be a bunch of grapes and a banana split. Tonight we took you to the Fall Festival at church to try out your costume, let's just say you were real pleased with mommy's choice. You didn't really fuss, but you didn't really seem as though you wanted to move at all. It was almost comical, but mommy felt bad so she changed you pretty quickly. Perhaps we will just put you in one of your Halloween outfits when the trick-or-treaters come. You are so precious to us and we can't believe that on Saturday you will be 4 months old!!!
