Baby Genius

Mr. C's first masterpiece. 

We are unable to bring it home, as it will be on display in the Art Gallery at school. Can we make some money off this or something?

(from Halloween)

More playtime with Cliff...

different house; different basket...

Going to school!
SOOOO BIG!!

First day. Biggest boy. 

all tuckered out

I'm strong to the finish 'cause I eats my spinach

heyyyy

On the way home from the second day of school.

He has never fallen asleep in the big kid carseat before.

So...first, I put the spatula outside the play den.

Then I get it. 

Then I do that again for like 30 minutes, ok?

But you stay right here because if I CAN'T get it, I'm going to yell at you. 

Got it?

38 weeks + 2 days on the inside...

And 38 weeks + 2 days on the outside!

getting ready for school tomorrow...big boy!

Halloween Week!

This year (before C knows any better), daddy got to choose the costume. He initially chose Chewbacca, but...we looked at costumes online and Chewbacca for babies doesn't quite work. The proportions are off. They just look like members of an 80's hair band comprised entirely of mangy bears.

Back to the drawing board.

Plan B was far, far superior. Costume was ordered and has been waiting for at least a month. 

Monday
Initially, costume practice did not go well.

I rallied! Then needed a nap.

Tuesday
We joined the other members of the February Babies Club for a lovely dinner. Master Yoda was entertained by a pumpkin, a monkey, and a UVA Cheerleader. All our costume practice paid off. While his buddies cried and squirmed, Yoda was just cheesin' for the camera.

Thursday

Actual Halloween. 

The day dawned spookily.

It was actually a very spooky and yucky weather day. Many neighborhoods "canceled" or "rescheduled" trick-or-treating (still unclear on quite how this works. Hope we don't get trick-or-treaters tonight, because I bought zero candy). 

Because of the less-than-stellar weather, we made only one stop: The Big House!

Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm?

Thanks to Fairy GodMary for joining us (and hi Jean! Thanks for waiting on the pics!)

Have my thumb I must.

And then home to bed. So mommy could eat peanut butter cups.

The night was dark. 

They usually are. 

And with that, the holiday season officially kicks off. Can't wait for all the firsts!

Waving

Working on that royal wave so he can teach his friend, Prince Georgie.

Saturday night date with mommy #wineandpuffs

It's customary to then put your date in a cage 

The Big House is spooky!

I prefer to sit outside my jumperoo and play this grate now, thanks 

Too fast for pants

Playtime with Cliff. Maybe we should ask Santa for a wagon...
