TRICK OR TREAT!

This year, I got to be an angel for Halloween. And baby Grant was a devil. Mommy said that wasn't quite accurate, that perhaps Grant should have been the angel...I'm not that bad, am I? Well, mommy didn't exactly spend tons of time on my costume, but despite her efforts making it for me, I refused to wear it for longer than it took to get pictures...I did my trick-or-treating in street clothes. But baby wore his costume from the moment he woke up in the morning until the moment he got in bed tonight. He even wore it during his nap! And what a handsome little devil! Nice bowtie... ...and tail!

The whole crew: Angel, Ariel, Devil, Ladybug and the Human Torch Before we had a spooky dinner, we did some Halloween-y arts and crafts. I got to use markers! Mommy doesn't let me use markers at home... Here I am, carving our pumpkin with the help of our neighbor, Mikey. I'm an expert pumpkin carver! This is the finished product - a Jack-O-Lantern!

Believe it or not: First Haircut

Today, Grant and I had our first official haircuts. Mommy took us to this place designed for baby haircuts, where Grant had his hairs cut by someone other than daddy for the very first time, and I had my hairs cut for the first time EVER! Look how pretty they made my hair! And just check out baby's new 'do! He is so handsome. This may be blurry and washed out, but Grant is so cute...mommy couldn't resist.

Grant's First Steps

Here I am, parading around in front of the camera while Grant takes his first steps in the background. I really thought the camera was something else, but apparently mommy thinks the baby walking is a bigger deal.

Lunchtime Follies

I love giving myself hugs! Wow...baby has a messy face. Peeek - a - boo! Here, baby is signing and saying, "All done!" at the same time.

Pumpkin Patch

Here I am, sharing the big swing at the pumpkin patch with Grant. But I'm really not in the mood to share... A doggy scarecrow! How cool. The wind was so strong, we almost blew away. We even got to read a book together at the pumpkin patch! And pick out our very own pumpkins, which mommy promised us we could help carve. After we picked out pumpkins, we went on a festive hayride. What a fun morning!

Hangin' Out

Hanging out with the neighbor kids before bedtime. Here I am with Grayson in front of our neighbor's tree. Grant's doing his own thing over there somewhere...and that's Gage, playing with the red car. I think he's flirting with me!! Wait! Grayson, come back! Well, hello, handsome! I like to call Grant lots of different things, such as "baby," "buddy," "bubba," and "handsome," but I know his name is really Grant. Just ask me! He, on the other hand likes to call me "Ra Ra." :-D

Fall Festival

This Saturday, mommy took us to the Fall Festival! They had funnel cake, bouncing castles, obstacle courses, big, inflatable slides, face painting, pony rides (which we missed by mere minutes) and more!! Here I am, climbing up the huge, inflatable slide. Look ma, I can do it all by myself!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee TADA!

Here I am, climbing through an obstacle course. And this big slide is the obstacle course's grand finale. I LOVE BIG SLIDES!

Itty Bitty Pumpkin

Baby brother figured out how to carry his pumpkin with him wherever he crawls!! "TA DA!" He says.
