I'm Sid the Science Kid

Hope you all had a great Halloween. This afternoon, after Destry took a four hour nap, we carved pumpkins. Destry colored while Tiff and I carved our masterpieces. Check out our work.

After we finished, we started getting ready to go trick-or-treating. Destry dressed up as his favorite TV show character, Sid the Science Kid. We then headed to downtown Duvall to trick-or-treat at all the local businesses. Destry loved to grab a piece of candy and put it in his bag. He would say "bye-bye" to everyone each time we left. He had a great time and chowed on an apple fritter Tressa gave him at her bakery. When we finished we headed over to Michelle's house to visit. He snagged Michelle's stash of candy and for the first time counted. He was counting soda cans and counted "two, three, four, five". Missed a number but exciting none the less. He has never done that before so we were quite shocked. We then came home for a bath to wash out his hair color, ate dinner and headed to bed. Here are a few photos of our night. You can see more in the photo gallery.

Just in Time for Halloween

Destry got his vampire fangs just in time for Halloween. His top two canines came in on Monday. One more to go and we'll have all but the four back molars. Hopefully those go better than this last round. After two weeks of not sleeping, he has finally started back to his old routine again.

18 Months and Lucky Number 13.

It seems like Little D has had 12 teeth forever. After several weeks of cutting, tooth number 13 finally broke through today. It's his left bottom canine. From the looks of things, the other 3 should make an appearance soon. Also, he had his 18 month checkup today. He is 32 1/2 inches tall and a tad under 24 pounds. The Doctor said everything looked great and that he is developing perfectly. He got four shots and only cried for a minute then was back to his old self. Tomorrow our little boy turns 18 months old. Man has time flown by. Before we know it he will be embarrased by us and asking to borrow the car.

Sorry Grandma Lee and Grandma Johnson

It has been quite some time since I have updated the blog and the photo albums (as the Grandmas have let me know...several times). But hey, I have an 18 month old, that's a good excuse, right? Anyway, I have finally updated the albums. I added a few new photos to September's and started the October. Sorry this took so long. Enjoy!
