Halloween 2009

I really cannot believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas are almost here. I will also be turning 30 next week. Really, where did the summer go? Anyway, we are moving right along over here. Gabriel is getting bigger every day. He is now walking around furniture, standing for short periods of time on his own, and eating everything in sight. Really, there is nothing I have found that this kid doesn't like. He can eat and eat and eat. Right now as I type, he is eating an entire Gala apple that I steamed for him. He is lucky that he is thin like his daddy;) Gabe is also now sleeping 11-12 hrs. a night.

Halloween this year was pretty uneventful for us. I usually have big plans and go to some huge party, but we just stayed at home this year. We took Brendon and Gabriel to a festival in Mt. Holly during the day, and then Eric's mom took Brendon to trick or treat, while we put the baby to bed. Brendon was a ninja from GI Joe (the bad guy wore white???) and Gabe was a chicken, costume courtesy of Lora.

Chicken and Daddy

This was pretty neat. Brendon was standing in line to do the jousting, and there was a kid in front of him the exact height and weight and age as Brendon in the opposite GI Joe ninja costume. His true doppelganger. Brendon and this little boy decided to joust each other in the competition.

Brendon won the jousting and knocked him off, and then showed good sportsmanship and helped the other little boy up and gave him a high five.

This is a dreadful pic of me, but I wanted to include at least one of me and the babe
