A Pair of Mittens!

The weather has definitely been taking a turn and getting quite a bit colder during the day. So recently during one of our walks with Mesa, I decided it was time for Kailer to wear his first pair of mittens. He wasn't sure what to think of them and as I was putting the second one on, he said to me, "No." I don't think he was too thrilled about them at first, but to my surprise he kept them on! The picture is what he did when I said to him, "Show me your hands."

Tickle!

Kailer's new favorite game is to be chased and caught and/or tickled ... which for either activity he says "tickle" (which you hear him say in the 1st video and I think it's adorable!). In addition to running around like a WILD MAN, he also screams!! Yes, screams and you'll hear that in the 2nd video. Needless to say, with all of this tickling, we've managed to burn off a few calories after dinner AND probably lose some of our hearing with his high-pitched little voice!! :)

We're Baaacckkk!!

Within the past several days I've been asked, in some form or another, "where we've been, as the blog hasn't been updated recently."

Well, it's not that we've been gone, or too busy to take pictures, it's that Daddy had the camera neatly tucked away in his hunting pack in the truck. I knew where it was and probably could have went and found it, but figured I didn't want to risk forgetting to put it back and have Dan get "the BIG One!" and not have the camera!!
But Dan has successfully filled all of his tags and the camera has now been unpacked - so let the blogging continue!!

1 Shoes .... too big!

"Don't Play With Your Food"

Whoever said eating your vegetables wasn't fun?!

Ironically enough, I've seen politician's use this same pose when making "promises"
Little Green Monster.

These veggies are SO good that he even licks the jar!
This one reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire - when she has her head in the fridge and comes out with the meringue face.

Tid Bits from Halloween

Trick or Treat!!

Hanging out with Pooh Bear.

Helping to carve the pumpkin.
All Done!
Fascinated with the glow stick.
Picking out a piece of candy ... or 6!

"Hmm, this one looks good."

"Or maybe I'll try this candy bar."

"Nope, Laughy Taffy it is!"

(Thankfully he didn't get the wrappers off of any of them.)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

At long last, I present to you ....
Mr. Tiger!! (Or since he love Tigger, maybe we could call him Tigger)
After running errands on Friday afternoon, I decided to take him Trick-or-Treating downtown. It was a beautiful afternoon with kids, monsters, babies, dogs, ghosts, princesses (you name is) wondering around the streets. I've been practicing with Kailer for months now to say "Trick or Treat" and at home he'd give it an honest shot, but once we got to the people with the candy, he clammed up. Thankfully they were nice and still gave him some. Honestly he was more into watching the other kids and once someone put a piece of candy in his bucket he would look in to see what it he just received.
All in all, mommy probably had more fun than Kailer, but that's okay. If all goes well (and we're not in the middle of nap time) Kailer and I will head into Bozeman this afternoon to meet some friends and trick-or-treat at the mall.
We hope that everyone has a Happy Halloween!!.

Kailer "Scaling" the washer - it was a good side profile.
Practicing his "roooaaarrr"!

Happy 'Lil Tiger!

Friday morning I had taken the couch cushions off to clean under them, so when it came time for pictures I knew that taking of a cushion and letting him play on the couch while I attempted to take pictures might keep his attention. It did for a few minutes, which thankfully allowed for a few photo shots!

Carving Pumpkins!

As you can tell, Kailer was NOT into carving pumpkins! He had way more fun playing with the newspaper, bowls and spoons that we were using. All well, maybe next year!?
