All the thanks go to my wonderful mother, Gigi. All I had to do was show her a picture of what I wanted Wells to be for Halloween and she started to work on making it without me even asking. I think she knows it would have never gotten done if she would have left me to do it:)
Oh and I didn't mention that all this was done at lighting speed since I just told her a few days before Halloween what I wanted? Mom is so busy with school and her recent conferences so I know this wasn't easy for her. We even managed to squeeze in a fitting during the making of the costume. We really really appreciate all that she does for us. The list would go on for days on what she has done for us since Wells was born and we cant thank her enough for everything. She is the best!
Now, on to the costume. It is a complete understatement to say that Wells did not like his costume. He HATED every single minute of having it on (all 15 of them). I have never seen a breakdown of this magnitude from him. He won, and the costume was off right after pictures. We did not even leave the house. Thank God my mom came over to help dress him cause there was no way we would have made it to her house as previously planned. We had big plans to go over to the Jones for Halloween and we had to abort the plans after the breakdown. I actually started to feel really bad cause he was so upset. After we took the costume off, we were going to go over to the Jones for a second minus the costume but he was still so upset and he was completely exhausted that we decided that it was best for us to stay home.
Surprisingly there are some pictures of him not crying. I was kind-of shocked when I went through the pictures cause I felt like he was crying the entire time he had it on. I have to say, even after the breakdown, I still think he was the cutest rooster I have ever seen!

We pulled it together for one semi decent family pic
The only way to calm a very angry rooster!
Poor Baby, I really do feel bad for him at this point
In other big news;
Wells rolled over for the first time on Sunday (10/30/11). Chris had gotten up with Wells when he woke at 6:30 and I stayed in bed. Chris was playing with him and then he rolled over. Chris said that he was so shocked that he put in right back up on his stomach to see if it was just a fluke or if in face he did roll over and he did it again so he yelled for me and thankfully Wells performed for his momma and I got to see him roll over :)
