October Goodness

Cheese!No, I'm not lazy! Just very, very efficient. I just wanted to wait until October was over until I updated again. Yeah, that's it!

September and October were very busy around here. We had lots of grandparents visiting!

First Mimi and Pop came to town. We had a blast at Greenfield Village and walking around town. And swinging!
Then Grandmoms and Grandpops came visiting. We went all over, to Grand Rapids and to Holland, MI where they have a funny Dutch Village.

This giant bird tried to fly away with me, but Pops saved me.

Grandmoms helped me ride this horse (or as I like to call them "eh-yews, " you know, like the sound of a neigh!)Here's me riding another eh-yew. I love the ponies!I tried to pack myself into Grandmoms's luggage, but they caught me at security.The weather has finally started to get colder, so I've been wearing all kinds of new clothes. And shoes! Check out my Chuck Taylors that my cousin Evan picked out for me! They are my favorite-est shoes of all time, and they make me run real fast!
We've also been going on lots of nice walks in the woods lately.



Shadow dancing!

Smelling the "flowers."

Here's a little video of how we walk through the woods together:



One day we went to a pumpkin patch and played!

Of course, we've been living it up indoors as well.

Like diapering my monkey!
I call this one "flour power."
This is called the "I love tractors" scream.
And this series I call Bucking Bronco:

I'm an adrenaline junky. Here's me riding my eh-yew that Mimi and Pop gave me! I ride him every day, but he still doesn't have a name.
Here's me cooking in my new kitchen from Grandmoms and Grandpops!



And here is what we call the Mittened Musician.



But I know that the real moment you've all been waiting for is HALLOWEEN! As you can see, I was a froggy.

You didn't know that frogs rode ponies?!? Mama and Dada even took me trick or treating, and let me have just a teeny bit of candy. It changed my life.

Mmmmm, sugar coma....Well, that's all for now, peeps. I'll be back soon to post the 4 billion photos that grandmoms and grandpops took during their visit. A baby can only post so many pictures at a time!

Be cool.

Your humble, adorable toddler,

Teef Times Two!

Hello loyal readers!

The other day I was acting really quiet while Mama was hanging up clothes in the closet. She found me like this:


I was like, What? I'm eating a cracker, mom. What's the big whoop? I've been reading in Discover magazine about things called molecules. I've been trying to systematically break down stuff into it's molecular components - well, mostly tissues and crackers, really. Mama calls it "messy" but I call it very, very interesting!
Have I told you guys about Mama? She is really funny.
She's trying to convince me to show you guys my two teefs, but I'm like, No, mom, mine aren't done yet! Show them yours!
She was pretty relentless, so I had to illustrate my reluctance in squeal language.
Here I'm saying, "Mama, are you sure this is a good idea?"

Oh alright. I guess I can show you guys.
Teef!

Two Teefs!!!!!!! On the bottom. In the middle. In case it wasn't, y'know, obvious.
Anyway, I gotta go catch up with my boys, the fish. Those guys are so cool.
Snnnngghhh.....later peoples.

Snnnggghhh...I'm trying to catch my beauty rest.

Some New Faces

Greetings loyal readers!

Just a quick update to showcase some new facial expressions I've been trying out. Let me know which is your favorite!

(By the way, Mama wants me to tell you all that anyone can comment on my blog - you don't have to have a Blogger account. Just make sure you sign your name so I know who you are!)

I've been working on my Fire Breathing Dragon faces, in which I also huff and puff through my nose while looking very menacing:
But then when Mama kisses my tummy it spoils the effect!
Here's what Mama and Dad annoyingly refer to as my "boo-boo" face. This is the face that I make when I'm hungry, tired, wet, feeling ignored or bored, or any combination of these.
This is my "Thanks Dad for throwing me up in the air" face!

Other than trying on new faces, I've also been trying on some new shoes. Dad's in this case.
Here's me reaching for Harry Potter before Dad can hide it from me. He hates Harry Potter. Mama calls him The Ultimate Scrooge.
Ok, well gotta go, the cat's bugging me to take a nap with her again. She is so bossy, seriously.
Until next time, I remain your humble adorable baby,
Silas T.
