You would think that the first Halloween wouldn’t be a huge ordeal for a child that’s just shy of two months old. Turns out, that’s not the case for our Fiona. About four months ago, before Fiona was born (and before we knew the gender of our forthcoming child), Amy sent me an email with an idea for a Halloween costume. It was gender neutral, and even long before Fiona had eliminated my ability to act tough, it was adorable.
Turns out that the costume – a chili pepper – is the perfect fit for our little Fiona. As you can see, she wears it well and is beyond cute.

The costume is also getting Amy and I interested in taking some amateur photography classes to capture some of these moments. Amy’s already practicing.
While we’re a ways from taking Fiona trick-or-treating and keeping in touch with the little one via cell phones and the FamilyMap service, we can still enjoy our time spent with family, showing off our new addition and her spicy personality.

And dad can work on removing the bad puns from his vocabulary.

I think you could get more good out of the costume. I mean, she has some problems scratching herself when she gets worked up, right? I say, hot pepper costume every day, problem solved.

We’re looking at getting Bet a more professional camera for Christmas with the addition of Fiona to our family. There may be some classes on our end as well. However, I guarantee the puns will be staying around!

It will be hard to forget that first Halloween costume. I’m just so glad you have the technology to share these first with us and that we can share them, too!
