Happy Halloween!

Carter had a lot of fun: we trick-or-treated at three neighbors' houses. Then he got to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters that came to our door (not all 63 of them, though, he had to take a bath and go to bed).

The first of our 63 trick-or-treaters.



"Oooooh, I made out good!"



"Grrrrrrr!"

Happy Nevada Day (Observed)!

Nevada Day is actually the 31st.



"Someday I won't need Dad's hands."



"Here, Hank, I'll feed you!" (Hank is being a very good boy).



"Next year, can I get the goop out?"



Cute little pumpkins!

Giving a Friend a Lift

Our friends Jay and Janee' came out for a visit from the East Coast for the last few days and brought their eight month old daughter, Jaime. Fun was had by all!

No pictures right now as I can't seem to get Blogger to accept any. I'll post some when I do. For some reason it let me post a video, though!

Apple Hill Today

For those of you not from the area, Apple Hill is a fun, touristy place a little over two hours southwest of Reno with a bunch of apple farms, cider mills, a brewery, and some pumpkin patches. It's a bit of a drive, but Carter seemed to enjoy it!


"I would like this one, please!"



"Can I have them all?!"



"Can you say 'mooooooo' like my toys?"

What a Big Boy!

Drinking without the sippy lid (just ignore the up-ended bowl).



Looking cute getting ready for a walk.

Eight Teeth!

Carter may not yet be able to say a mouthful, but he definitely has a mouthful -- of teeth, that is. He cut his eighth tooth today. We also went to the Great Italian Festival today. Carter had garlic bread and a garlicky artichoke sausage dish. You'll have to review the photographic evidence, below, but it seems pretty clear to me that he likes Italian food (although Mom was not too pleased with his breath afterward).



Short Stuff!



"Mmmm! Garlic bread!"



"Sure, I'll try it."



"Say, Sam-I-Am, I do like garlicky artichokes with Italian sausage!"

In Case You Were Wondering...

...Yup, still cute! With video proof!

Excited About Walking (Almost)!
