Happy Halloween--the real deal!

Good morning little pumpkins!


Walking home from the neighborhood Halloween festival at Joe DiMaggio Park.

Happy Halloween!

From the Peter Pumpkin Patch in Petaluma.
What fun!

Animals at the Pumpkin Farm

Here are Brennan and Luciano at the farm.

Practice, practice, practice...

Here Brennan is practicing for Halloween--both wearing the costume (we are up to about 4 minutes!!) and being in character...

A Walk in the Park...

It was beautiful here today, and we took advantage of the afternoon by taking a long walk through Aquatic Park and up to the park above Ft. Mason. It overlooks the Golden Gate bridge and the bay was filled with boats. The park with its grass and walkways, and many people, dogs and bicycles was perfect for our little guy who is all about walking these days, loves dogs and is fascinated with bikes. Seeing all the boats also gave him a chance to say one of his favorite words--boat (he sounds Canadian when he says it!)

His other words at the moment include: hot (hawt), ball, bowl, nose, NO, nuum (milk), hello (heyla), shoes (zeus), yes (ses), more (mo'), moon, (moooooonnnnn), moo, baa, and just tonight: apple (clear as day!) and abanama (banana)--he understands 10x as many and will point away. He still signs for more, milk, and all done.

He has been sleeping great this last month, which is very normal with walking, but the naps have been much less significant and therefore my time to get stuff done very limited. I do miss being able to pick up the phone and talk to a friend until we are all talked out... I do love my time with B and enjoy the changes that are happening every day at a rapid pace. Enjoy...
