Halloween 2008...

October 30-31, 2008...I had lots of fun with all kinds of Halloween activities this year. I was Donald Duck for Halloween, and I just loved my costume. I went to a Halloween party at Luke's house, a fall festival, and went trick-or-treating with my buddy, Camden. I even got to try candy corn!!! Here are some pictures from all these events...

Trick-or-treating...I only took one treat per house!

Taking a break from all the hard work...

Walking to Grammy & Grandpa's house...

When we got to Grammy & Grandpa's house,

I didn't want to trick-or-treat anymore. I wanted

to stay and play. Here I am riding around on my

"garbage truck". Grammy gave out the best treats,

in my opinion...Cheeze-its!!!

On Grammy & Grandpa's porch swing...

Mommy took me to a fall festival at the school

where she used to teach when she was pregnant

with me. I was a major hit in my Donald costume.

I got to see lots of kids and play some games, too.

(Reese came, too, and is in the pink sling). Getting hugged by Erin & enjoying some

really yummy popcorn! I ate the whole bag!!!

Here I am with J.T. He was in Mommy's first

class at this school. He is in seventh grade now.
He is the one who gave me my big monkey that

I take pictures with each month.

Here I am with lots of Mommy's old students.

They are all in the fifth grade now. She taught

most of them when she was pregnant with me.

Erin, Leila, Robyn, and Marley).

Here I am with Andrew (left) and Alex. Mommy

also taught both of them. They are now in 6th grade.

October 30, 2008...Mommy took Reese and me to

a Halloween party at Luke & Allie's house. Here

are all of my friends...Julia (Care Bear),

Mason (skunk), Eli (The Cat in the Hat), Camden

(Thomas the Tank Engine), me, and Luke (Spiderman). Here we all are with the new babies, Lily, Reese & Allie.

Two of my favorite things...my little brother, Reese, and my dog, Spot. (I still love my pacis, but only at naptime & bedtime).

Pumpkin Carving Party...

October 26, 2008... I went to my second pumpkin carving party at the Hintons' house today. We had a lot of fun. I didn't really want to have anything to do with hollowing out or carving the pumpkin. Daddy hollowed it out, and Mommy carved it. I had fun running around with my friends.

Daddy & me hollowing out the pumpkin...

Funny picture of Eli pulling Camden and me

More October Fun...

October 26, 2008...Mommy's friend, Ms. Chiann,

came to visit us for the weekend. She did lots of

cooking and played with me, too. We had fun

together. Here we are making pumpkin bread.

I'm 28 Months Old...

October 23, 2008...I am now 28 months old! Time is really flying, and I'm getting so big. I'm quite the talker these days...I talk all the time. I also love to sing and hum. If I'm not talking, I'm singing and humming. I still love to go to the library and pick out books and enjoy Rhyme Time. I am now into picking out nonfiction animal books (about elephants, hippos, rhinos, tigers, and polar bears). I also have to get digger books (or anything related to construction/job sites). My current favorite books are Bob the Builder books; Machines at Work; The Cat at Night; The Runaway Pumpkin; It's Pumpkin Time; Airport; Little Bear; Dazzling Diggers; Amazing Airplanes; Tough Trucks; Clifford Gets a Job; Jesse Bear, What Do You Wear?; and Goodnight Gorilla. Reading is one of my favorite things to do with Mommy. I love playing with Daddy when he comes home from work. We like to go on walks together. I love to go to Grammy & Grandpa's house. I get on the Bob the Builder website with Grammy. I like to play with airplanes and dump trucks with Grandpa. He takes me to the job site and to look at the horses, too. We have fun together. I love being a big brother, and I especially love to hug, kiss, and hold Reese. I am still into sports, Little People, construction, going on walks, and playing. I love my family and friends, especially my friend, Camden. I am happy all the time, and Mommy and Daddy think this is a great age!

My Trip to the NC State Fair...

October 23, 2008...Grammy & Grandpa took me to the North Carolina State Fair today. I'm not sure who had more fun...me or Grammy & Grandpa. We had such a blast! Thank you very much, Grammy & Grandpa, for taking me to the fair. Here are some pictures from my awesome day...

Here we are, getting ready to head to the fair...

We saw cows...

Here I am holding a chick...

Aren't these chicks cute? I also saw bunnies,

horses, chickens, ducks, and a swan.

Mommy a long time ago that he would never

My First Big Boo Boo...

October 16, 2008...Tonight, while playing with my concrete mixer and diggers on the coffee table, I fell and bumped my head really hard on the table. Within seconds, I had a huge, blue goose egg and a cut. I think it scared both Mommy and Daddy a lot!!! Here are a few pictures later on in the evening.
