Camp Jefferson Haunted House

Pumpkin Carving

Dylan and Daddy spent the afternoon making a jack-o-lantern

Lafayette Village

An afternoon at the Lafayette Village where Dylan did his first trick-or-treating.

Halloween Contest = 1st trophy

Here comes the shark...

won 1st place for the funniest costume (it really wasn't meant to be funny, but we'll take the trophy anyway)

Halloween Weekend

We had an early start for Halloween. We took Dylan to various events this past weekend. He wore his costume and even won 1st place for the funniest costume - although it wasn't really meant to be funny. =) I think it was the combination of his adorable shark costume and waddling across the stage that made people laugh. In any case, our little one won his first trophy and we were a couple of silly proud parents!!!

(lots of pictures coming soon....)

For the love of grapes...

If you've been around Dylan lately, then you'd know that he will practically eats grapes ALL day long if we let him. He just loves it and he asks for it after every single meal and during snack. It's pretty funny watching him eat them - with every bite, he says.... "mmmm...gud"

He's also been starting to talk a lot and letting us know what he wants. He can say about 30 words, but he does have his favorites: apple, grapes, wa-wa (water), thank you, hi, ball, mommy, mike (yes, that's what he calls Daddy), uh-oh (is that a word?), cracker, and buh-bye. He's also great at repeating things we say - a good and bad thing. For this reason, Daddy and Mommy have to start watching what they say around D.

Another favorite thing of his: walking while holding Mommy's finger. Yup, he isn't walking on his own yet, but he loves to walk.

Ort Farm

We wanted to take advantage of the nice weather so another day at the Pumpking Patch. This time we went to Ort Farm in Long Valley.

check out his molars... yup he's got 12 teeth now! and boy, can this kid bite!!!!

Of course, we had to feed the cows, sheep, goats and horses...

(It's hilarious when Dylan gets mad after they grab the carrots from him)

so kissable!!!

His favorite part - the hay ride

playing peek-a-boo behind the pumpkin

And a family picture with Dylan smiling...

Playdate with cousin Jade

We finally met the adorable baby Jade. Dylan loved giving her kisses, but was not happy when Mommy was carrying Jade.
