Pumpkin Carving

Christopher was not very interested in the pumpkin carving this year. He looked inside the pumpkin at it's guts but that was it. He did enjoy staring at the finished pumpkins with their candles lit and the lights out. Next year he'll enjoy it more!

The Second Tooth is Here!

The second tooth is right next to the first one! Soon he'll have a mouth full of teeth and probably starting biting all of us!

The Second Tooth

I think the second tooth is just around the corner. He wants to be held all the time and is pretty cranky just like with the first one. When will it come???

Nana

Christopher loves his nana. I think he is even trying to say nana. He holds onto her like he doesn't ever want to let her go! When she first arrived he hugged her and snuggled with her like he hadn't seen her in a year. In reality it was only a week. He even leans towards her so she'll hold him, two weeks ago he would turn away and want to stay with me. It's just the cutest thing!

Zoo Boo

Christopher enjoyed Zoo Boo last night - he stayed awake the entire time! I thought he would fall asleep but he was so busy looking around at the lights and listening to everyone that he was just wide awake! His little legs were kicking and he kept clapping at everything he saw. We watched a pirate show with animals and he was watching those pirates like they were the most exciting thing in the whole world! He just couldn't take his eyes off of them! He was also eating his puffs, which are usually his favorite, but even the puffs couldn't distract him from those pirates! I think he likes his first Halloween!

Pooh Bear

Christopher was Winnie the Pooh at the Halloween party - for about two minutes! He was sweaty the instant Uncle Markie put the costume on and we took a few pictures and then the costume was off! I guess we'll do the same thing for Halloween and it will look like he participated in his scrapbook at least!

Cascade + Poison Control = ?

Luckily it ended up being nothing. I thought Christopher swallowed some liquid Cascade but after a frantic phone call to the Dr's office and then poison control, things were just fine. It turned out that if he had swallowed some, he would have immediately thrown up the juice he was drinking. Since he didn't throw up, he didn't actually swallow any. The lesson I have learned is to make sure the dishwasher is shut before running to the bathroom.

The First Tooth!

Christopher has his first tooth! After the virus, flu shot, and many nights of keeping Nana awake - a tooth has appeared! He is nine and a half months and his first tooth is here! It is just barely poking through but it's the cutest thing I have ever seen!

Poor Baby

Christopher caught what Nicholas has, cough, fever, runny nose. It's so much fun when both are sick! Luckily my mom is here to save the day! He has to have breathing treatments for the rest of the week and I am going to watch to make sure it's doesn't get worse. Poor little thing, it always ends up in his chest. Buying the ventilator was best investment I ever made! We have used it so many times it has paid for itself. It would have cost me a small fortune if I had rented it everytime he needed it!

No Hands!

Christopher is about to take off running. His latest trick is to let go and try to take a step. He keeps falling down but that doesn't stop him from getting back up and trying it again! I think it's only a matter of time before the walking starts, he is very determined!
