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,

Busy!!!

What?

It's been a MONTH since I last updated?
Hello my PATIENT, loyal readers! I'm so sorry it's been such a long time since my last update! But, in my defense, Mama and Dada have been keeping me verrrrrry busy.
For instance, they have me filing their paperwork...
I try to tell them that they should really SHRED some of the older stuff, and that I would be happy to help them carry out this endeavor.Alas, they get out a machine to do it. It's quicker, I guess. But I have to admit, the machine is very fascniating...

Is it Christmas already?! No, it's just the KITTY! Almost as good. (Run, Kitty, Run!)My parents are obsesseed with feeding me food.
Dada, I'm not so sure about this pear.

In fact, I think I'm finished with this pear. But I'll save a little for later. On my face.
Bread, now we're talkin'! They say that I take after Grandpops in this way. Mom sometimes shakes her fist at the sky while talking about this. I don't know what that's about, but bread is GOOD!Good enough to save some for later. On my face.
I don't know why servers give menus to BABIES. But they do make fancy hats.

Did you know Babies can go swimming? I didn't know, either, but it's true!Mama and Dada took me to this weird place called Frankenmuth, MI, which is a "Bavarian" town. It looked funny, but their pool was really neat!




Sometimes playing is hard work. I mostly make it look easy, I know.
Sometimes my friend Enzo comes over to help me play.
We are plotting to take over the world. This walker will be instrumental to our reign.
Can you imagine a world run by BABIES?! I know, I'm excited at the thought, too!
Here's me in my "Huckleberry Silas" outfit, as Mama calls it. These pants used to be Dada's! I can't believe he ever wore them, either.

Ok, well I gotta run. Mama is taking me off for some new adventure!
Until next time (and I promise it won't be so long!) I remain your humble adorable baby,
Silas T.
