Trick or Treater in Training

I can't believe it's October already! Only 30 more days until Halloween which means we got to get our little tricker treater ready. Mommy and Daddy need candy! 

We have decided on our family costume and I am on the hunt for a few more things to get our look perfect. Tonight, I pulled Zander's Halloween pjs out of the closet for the first time and gave him his new trick or treating pail. I think he is getting the hang of it. He can carry it around and even started filling it with spices from our cupboard. I can't wait until Halloween!

Smores

I found a way to make smores at home. Delicious!

16 Months Old

Weighs approx 22.5 lbs. * Says "cheese" and knows it means to smile at the camera. * Spent a whole week without us when we went on our cruise. * Tries to jump, but hasn't figured out that means actually getting his feet off the ground. * Climbing up on everything. * Got his 4th haircut. * Can find his belly button. We've been working on eyes and nose. * Stands in his high chair & I know one day he is going to fall out of it. * Loves cookies, but is not satisfied with just 1 cookie. He needs a cookie in each hand. *  Still hates his diaper getting changed. Hopefully this is a phase. * Knows how to use the IPad to play Elmo Loves His ABCs and tries to steal it away from us when we use it. * Hides himself in the cupboards. * Pulls the clothes out of his drawers and tries to put them on. * Doesn't like the covers on his legs just like his daddy. *

Devin makes fun of the fact that I like to take pictures of people sleeping. I think there is something so serene and beautiful in capturing these moments. 

New Camera

We got a new camera and I love it! It takes such clear pictures and is so easy to use all the features. I've been taking a lot of pictures lately and taking it with me every where so you can be certain that I'll be posting a lot more pictures on our blog. 

Hair Cut #4

I made a promise to myself that as soon as Zander's hair resembled a mullet or got too unruly that we would cut it. That day occurred a few weeks ago, but I was in a bit of denial. After coming to my senses, we went over to Megan's house for trim. His fourth hair cut! He did so well and sat still most of the time (except for the end when he was over it). His hair looks so much better! Thanks Aunty Megan.
