So I thought it would be cute to have Dane be a vampire for halloween bc he has soo much dark hair. I planned to slick his hair back and draw a little widows peak on his forehead but was kind of worried about how I would scrub it off after. I use thick hair paste on his hair usually to style it but his hair is soo fine that it still does not stay how I style it. I remembered my friend saying that she uses egg whites to make her hair look naturally curly and that it stays that way for days. If it worked for her hair than I thought for sure it would work for Danes. I decided to use egg whites and comb his hair forward so I wouldn't have to draw a widows peak because his bangs would be combed down his forehead to form the widows peak. well it worked well until he started having an allergic reaction and his face and neck started turning red with little rashes. After taking a couple of pictures of my cute little vampire I gave him a bath and washed out his hair. The rash seemed like it was still spreading so we made a trip to Albertsons to get something for it and ask the pharmacist what we should do. Anyways,....pharmacist said not to use anything on a baby this young, rash gradually got better, and went to ward trunk or treat without our costumes on. I have never felt sooo dumb. I know that babies can have allergies to eggs but I just assumed bc he was not eating them I had nothing to worry about bc I was only putting it in his hair. Ryan keeps reminding me how dumb that was and I know he is going to tell everyone what I did so I thought I would tell people first so I could justify myself.

Notice the rash on his forehead and cheek in the pictures below...poor boy!

okay so I tevoed 'dancing with the stars' last night and am watching it right now. I am amazed by all of the dancers bodies. It really makes me want to take up dance lessons. So I have given it some serious thought and have made it my goal to be on 'dancing with the stars' next season as either the "star" or the professional without any lessons.

This is the cutest most ineffective way to crawl. ONe day he will get it.

Dane has been trying to move around the last couple of days. He either pushes himself up with his arms but his legs are lifeless... or his chest is on the ground and his bottom is in the air. Sometimes he gets his legs kicking and pushing on the ground but in the end, one of his legs somehow overlaps the other and then when he kicks with his one free legs it flips him onto his back. It is so funny. I love that he keeps trying. I am pretty sure that one of these days soon it will just come to him and he will be all over the place. I better start baby proofing my place. aaahhh!!!... I don't think I am ready for a crawler.

Ryan just informed me today that we are part of an intramural volleyball team that starts playing next week. Um... I have not played volleyball since high school but it should be really fun. I need to figure out what to do with Dane while we are playing bc it will be past his bed time. I am so excited to something else to break up my week a little more. Hopefully the weather continues to be nice here bc the games are outdoors and in the sand. I will let you know how our team does.... well, I will just go ahead and tell you now... WE DOMINATED EVERY GAME!!!

Okay, so I have had it with my diaper bag. it is one big endless pit of which I can find nothing!! I have not been able to find one with pockets on the side, plain in color (would like a tan color if i can find a cute enough one), zips, will not stain easily, and in my budget (under 10 bucks...jk). if any of you know where I can look, please let me know. i have tried online, gap, target, ebay, potterybarn kids and have found nothin!

RYAN'S FIRST SEMESTER IS OVER NOVEMBER 10TH... WOOHOO!!
