Recent-ish Pictures

10/23 Dinner. Luke stands in his chair most of the time and Max has recently joined the table compliments of the Bumbo our friend Laura was kind enough to loan us.


10/29 Max enjoying the Bumbo.


10/31 Trick-or-treating. "Regular Luke" and Max the Lion. I didn't do a very good job with pictures this year - possibly something to do with my anti-dressing-up, anti-picture-taking toddler! Luke rang the bell and actually said "trick or treat" at the first house, then rang the bell and ran at the second house. At the third house, he was already hanging back a little when Albert Einstein answered the door (holding a little rat-thing-looking dog dressed as a French Maid which was actually quite humorous) and that was the end of Luke being anywhere near the door!





10/25 Here's most of Luke's firefighter costume (minus the pants and hat) that he happily wore a week earlier to play in the rain with Daddy. His boots were on backwards and he insisted on keeping them that way for their entire 45 minute walk. He has refused to humor the firefighter jacket ever since it was referenced as a Halloween costume.


Stomping a puddle!


11/3 Max loves his exersaucer and so do I. It buys me some 2-free-hands time. Poor Max spends much more time in the exersaucer than Luke ever did. Good thing he likes it!


11/5 Popping a regular wheelie. Luke recently showed me that Aunt Jill taught him to pop a wheelie while turning the wheel at the same time. This is big stuff and makes him quite proud - I need to get a picture of the souped-up wheelie. When Luke does a trick or something he thinks is cool he asks "Is that was cool?"

Beat It

Our friend Al gave Max a Michael Jackson onsie. The tag says "Beat it" and it comes complete with fake zippers and a hood!! Pictures from Sept. 6, 2008.

New Old Posts

I just logged into Blogger for the first time in a couple months and found some posts (below) from this Summer that I never published. Now if I could just keep up with blogging on a regular basis ... it will never happen, but I can try!
