Happy Halloween!

Fun Outings

At our spooky haunted train ride:

Atticus was obviously terrified.

At a nearby pumpkin patch:

At the petting zoo (Atticus was actually terrified of the animals there):

Atticus is Eight Months Old

At eight months old (seriously, already?) Atticus:

• Weighs about 20 pounds (I doubt the precision of the bathroom scale on this matter--since it read the same last month).
• Is on the brink of crawling, but just can't translate his momentum forward instead of backward yet.
• Waves "bye-bye" (sometimes on command).
• Is sleeping from 8pm to 7am at night.  Hooray!  Goodbye to the 4/5am feeding.
• Loves to look at himself in the mirror.
• Still thinks taking baths is great.
• Likes to play "peek-a-boo" with Daddy, especially with the curtains in his room.

Autumn Walks

Kisses

Apparently Atticus LOVES getting double kisses.

Pumpkin Fun

We began our Halloween celebrations with a pumpkin carving party this weekend. Which pumpkin is your favorite?

Apple Season

Over the weekend, we made good use of the apple trees in my parents' yard.  We picked the apples together and got out the old apple press.  Everybody had a great time crunching up the apples and pressing them into fresh juice.  It was delicious.

Everyday things

Atticus makes us smile when he's:

playing outside,

rolling around on his teddy bear rug,

grabbing for the camera,

getting his hair cut,

and trying to feed himself.
