treat time

A couple weeks ago I listed some of my favorite things, one of them being treat time for Pip. Both Cameron and Pip are very excited to come home from work for the daily treat. 

Poor Chris has to wait for his greeting until it’s over. Treats wait for no one.

french doors are fun

We spent our Saturday sitting on the stairs, enjoying this.

It’s great to be greeted so enthusiastically!

h-a-double L-o-w-double E-n spells HALLOWEEN!

It seems that Halloween always has several events, which is nice since we can wear the costume several times.

 

First up is the CheckMark Pet Parade, where all pets and toddlers are invited.

Cam went as a robot and Pip as a punk rocker.

CHEESE!

Parading the wrong direction.

GROUP SHOT!

Next up was Halloween night. We took it easy and went to three houses, and then played outside while other kids came up and collected candy.

 

Will you fill up my pumpkin?

Cam and favorite neighborhood buddies, Joe and Nick

Still empty?!?

We had a nice time, and our candy was quickly gone. Too bad I couldn’t teach Cam “Beep-bop-beep” before the night was over.

who likes spaghetti?

This messy boy does!

Conquering the toddler smile

You know how every little boy decides that smiling is when you tighten every face muscle you have?

Cam has somehow learned it recently.

Take out a camera, say smile, and this is the face you get.

It’s a face only a mother can love. :)

And Daddy!

list of favorites

With the speed of my little boy growing up, I feel like I need to document some of my favorite things he does that make me giggle every single time.

• With fall comes long sleeves and Cam is a fan. When we put on a new shirt, I ask where his hand is and he pushes it through by raising his hands way above his head until his hand pops out. And his face is full of accomplishment when it happens!
• When you ask Cam to say puppy or point out a puppy, he will say puppy and immediately scrunch up his face and make a panting noise. It’s his puppy impression.
• Cam thinks he’s sneaky. He will try to put his cup in his lap, and when I tell him it belongs on the table he’ll slowly bring it back up all while watching my reaction. Then he’ll slowly bring it back down to his lap with a big grin. Never-ending fun!
• Light switches are FASCINATING!
• So are any buttons that make noises when pressed. We learned how to lock laundry machines, fridge water dispensers and dish washers quickly.
• Cam loves his woobie. He starts shouting for it when it comes into view. Not that it’s the cleanest thing in the house since he enjoys walking around with it hanging from his mouth. Yummy woobie!
• When I get home from work, it’s treat time for Pip. Now when I walk in the back door Cam and Pip both run to the jar and beg. Pip stands on his hind legs staring at it, and Cam points and shouts for it. I always give it to Cam to give to Pip. When Pip takes it to the other room, Cam chases after him to watch him eat it.
• He knows how to wake up my iPhone and starts hitting every single button to get it to do something.

There’s so much more, but this is a start!

where do you bring a pumpkin?
