Can't believe it's almost the end of October

All I can think about lately is "next year, we'll be doing/celebrating this with the baby." I can't wait to dress up the baby in a costume for Halloween with the dogs. And Christmas is weighing on my mind as well. I really can't believe how close it is already. And all the toys and fun things we can buy and spoil our little one. With a birthday that will closely follow. I've been debating on buying small gifts or trinkets for the baby this Christmas, though that baby won't be here yet. I know the baby can't open them, but maybe it would be fun.
