Halloween & Other Happenings

Halloween is a pretty crazy holiday. Everyone kept telling me that there would be all of this candy, but from what I can tell, all you do is dress up in silly outfits with hats that you spend the entire night pulling off. Maybe when I have more teeth I will be able to actually get the candy, too. In an effort to reduce my carbon footprint, I decided to borrow Ben's Halloween costume from last year - a duck (or a chicken depending your perspective). I gave it a whole new look though since I can walk and Ben couldn't last year since he was younger, so the striped tights get a whole new look and feel with movement.
I had a great time at Ben's Halloween party and at a little party in our neighborhood on the actual day. We also visited Kelly at a party at her house. I am quite popular to get invited to all of these parties!
After the Halloween festivities, I had my first haircut. I wasn't sure what to expect - as you can tell, I was a little apprehensive in the car.
They did put me in a pretty cool fire truck to cut my hair, so I spent most of the time steering my car instead of worrying about my hair too much.The hairdryer was a little distracting, but I am used to helping mom with her hairdryer every morning, so it didn't scare me at least! In the end, I have a cute little bob and feel like a bona fide toddler now!
Today was an exciting day for mom as she was able to get a little Pebbles ponytail in my hair today and I did not pull it out all day. So of course she had to take a few pictures of this momentous occasion.Pretty cool, huh? I also enjoyed the fall here in Charlotte - today we raked some leaves. Here I am helping mommy.
I also love to harrass everyone around me by avoiding all of my toys and insisting on only climbing on and up furniture. Here I am swinging from the chandelier in the kitchen.
And here I am trying to climb up the table in the front hallway. Really it is so much fun - no danger involved at all and clearly no opportunity to damage anything.

Looking forward to seeing all of my fans in Cincinnati over the holidays coming up!

Michael, there's no excuse for you not to update the blog on Fridays! Especially since you're finished with school.
