We're Still Here!!

Here is a catch-up post for anyone who is still checking this blog.  It was a busy month moving and unpacking.

Andrew still likes his Sunday morning pancakes, now served in a new kitchen.

He mastered the monkey bars this month

And we found that our new neighborhood is not as well-suited to our rainy day puddle walks.  Too many hills and apparently better drainage too.  Except for this one spot across the street from the park....

As for Graham, he is crawling and cruising around and enjoying the new house, especially the stairs.  Below he is engaging in one of his favorite activities -- playing with the top of someone's head.  He thinks it's hilarious.  He also does this cute thing where he bangs on the top of Andrew's head a couple of times, then snuggles it with his own head.  This goes on for as long as Andrew permits.

If left to his own devices for more than a couple of seconds, Graham usually manages to find some cords.  Or he makes a beeline for the stairs.

Graham likes burritos and eats them with impeccable manners. 

Here are some fall photo ops taken at a some sort of pumpkin festival that we went to:

Typical outtake from Graham:

And lastly here are a few scenes leading up to Halloween.  Last weekend we decorated pumpkins at the park with our two little bats.  Andrew decided last Halloween that he was going to be a bat this Halloween and has never wavered.  And Graham didn't fit into any of Andrew's old Halloween costumes, so he got his own bat suit too.

We also carved our jack-o-lanterns last weekend.  Andrew designed the one on the right.  Anytime he wants to draw something scary he includes a "belly with teeth," which is what that jagged beard-looking thing is at the bottom of his pumpkin. Graham's was styled with two teeth to match his own mouth, but in the 5 days since we've carved them Graham has sprouted two additional teeth, so it's no longer an exact match. 

Happy Halloween!
