This is a video from October 15 where I did a little bit of standing on camera. I'm better at standing when I hold onto something first and then let go, but back in October, I liked the challenge of trying to stand up from the floor without help. Now, I've realized that I was doing it the hard way, and I usually don't do this anymore.
Here are some pictures of me in a costume that Mommy and Daddy struggled to get me into on Halloween. It's bulky and the head hole is tight, but once it's on, it's not so bad. First, we practiced wearing the costume on the back deck.
Then we went outside at night to see the neighbors. Unfortunately, I was sick that day, so I only lasted about 5 minutes and then wanted to go back inside for bed. Maybe next year I'll learn what this trick-or-treating is all about.
Once I started feeling better, I was back to my monkey antics. I climb into the dishwasher to help Mommy do dishes. She lets me in for a little while, then picks me up and puts me somewhere far away with pots and pans or a toy she thinks I'll enjoy.
We've been outside almost every day this month because the weather isn't too hot anymore. I like to play with leaves, and after many taste-tests, I've decided that they're not worth eating.
Daddy helped me climb a tree to see where the leaves were coming from.
On Mommy and Daddy's wedding anniversary, we celebrated by going to a Carolina Hurricanes hockey game. I got a seat of my own, but Mommy and Daddy had to hold it down to prevent it from folding up on me. They let me crawl around on the concourse during intermissions.
Today, we went to get pictures taken at Portrait Innovations again. Here are some photos we'll be sharing for my first birthday and for the holidays.
My four grandparents and my Uncle Ron and Aunt Suzie are coming to Greensboro for Thanksgiving and my birthday party. I'll write more after their visit.
