Halloween Pics

Since we are hosting Logan's 1st birthday party at our local zoo on Halloween, we thought it only fitting that for Halloween Logan should be an animal. Knowing which animal wasn't too hard considering that Logan already seems to be a climber...so he's a Monkey! My Mom has typically made her grandkids costumes, so we found a cute monkey pattern and altered it a bit to our liking. She did an excellent job, as always. Logan is the cutest monkey I have ever seen!

I took him to get his professional pictures done and while he wasn't dishing out glorious smiles like usual, we still got 2 great photos. :)

Just before we arrived to the studio, I swung by Target and bought a few bunches of bananas as a prop (which I now have a lot of banana bread to make!). You'll see in the second picture he posed with all the bananas in his full costume. In the first picture the photographer (whom I have started requesting since she always seems to have a cute idea) suggested peeling open the banana and seeing if he'll take a bite. Great idea! I peeled the banana and gave it to Logan to hold...he just looked at it....so I put it in his mouth - he took the bite and she took the cutest picture...then he threw the banana down (so it was a good thing she got the shot!). We also tried a picture of him standing, but he kind of had a blank expression on his face....although he looked SO BIG standing by himself. Here are the pictures (I took a picture of the pictures on my dining room table, so that is why there is a brown border):
