Halloween

I'm not even all that in to Halloween. But alas, Charles was just too stinkin' cute. I'm so sorry I didn't have video to shoot him running faster than his little legs would carry him...hence the new cuts and bruises! We carried him to the first few doors and he seemed interested that a stranger would have him reach into a bowl and then we'd walk off...and do it again at the next house. Then he chewed on one of those things from the bowl, with the wrapper of course, and saw the beauty in it when he got a little taste of what it was he was reaching for. Then we let him walk to the next couple of houses...then we could barely keep up with him. He is so funny, when he runs fast, his feet barely touch the ground and his arms wave akimbo. He would RUN up to a door with his hand outstretched, grab something from the bowl, wave goodbye with the other hand, run to us and slam dunk the candy into his bag then run to the next door. It was hilarious.


I was feeling guilty for not being more in the holiday spirit and had not yet taken Charles to a pumpkin patch...so I found they were all still open until the 31st and ran off to one locally for their last hour and half of operation. Actually, we made out quite well.

climbing on pumpkins, picking out pumpkins...running with pumpkin

Climbing...still fearless with the animals.
And here's a great series, that shows some very typical behavior...
THROWING...I've been working SO hard to get Charles to stop throwing everything...and I mean everything. When he finishes drinking, he throws his cup, eating-he throws his food across the table, keys 2 pews up in church and silverware 1 table over in a restaurant!!

This is actually a pose for the camera

this, however, is his 'wind up' face. I know it looks sweet and innocent and kind of like he's going to sneeze, but I've learned, he's just winding up. I think he prepares mentally first.

That one didn't go so well, it landed right on his head. Not that that should stop him, he's hit ME in the head plenty of times and it hasn't stopped him yet.

And there it is...a successful toss.
