More Halloween Decorations

So...we got a little more into our Halloween decorations this year (and by "we," I mean Mom). We showed you some of our decorations in the last Halloween post, but we thought we would post an better picture of the house.

I told Mom I wanted to make our house into a haunted house, but she didn't want to go out and buy a bunch of scary zombies and skeletons for the yard. Instead, she made our house really look like it was haunted.







Peek-a BOO!



It's nothing too fancy, but the UPS man did say it was the best house he's seen this year. And that's saying something!

First Tooth!

I guess there isn't really more to say after that post title...I got my first tooth! I had a sleepless night last night and Mom just noticed why. It's on the bottom right (my right), and the left one looks like it will be coming in any day!

Yep. I'm turning into a big boy...right before my mother's tear-filled eyes.

A Bouncing Baby Ping Pong!

Because I could never grow tired of watching Ping Pong jump in his exersaucer, I've decided to treat you guys to 3 whole minutes of adorable (albeit, probably nauseating) video footage of him in action. If you listen carefully, you can hear that he's actually out of breath.

Happy Halloween!

What a Halloween! Decorations, Jack-o-lanterns, Boo at the Zoo with Scarlett, Trick-or-treating... Whew! There is too much to discuss! We'll just let you see for yourself:

An Accent Only A Babushka Would Love

Scene: Poki was playing with his matryoshka dolls the other morning when Daddy asked what he was doing.

Poki: "I'm playing with my mumuffin dolls."

Daddy: "Your what?"

Poki: "My um...my mumtufta dolls."

Daddy: "Do you mean your matryoshka dolls? Matryoshka."

Poki: "Sigh...no, Daddy. It's mumkufka. I know my Russian."

Hey! That Looks Like Something!

A few weeks ago (I know, I know...shame on my Mom for waiting to tell you until now), I was drawing on my kid's menu at the Ruby Restaurant (aka: Ruby Tuesdays), when suddenly, my mom realized what I was drawing looked like something. Like...a real something. And not my usual 100 swirls I claim is a tornado. No, this looked like a person! She couldn't believe her eyes!

She asked me what I was drawing and I said, "This way it's a guy with legs..."



"And this way, it's a guy with antennas!"

On The Move!

As some of you might remember, my Mom predicted that I would be crawling by my 7 month birthday. Surprisingly, I didn't. I mean, I've been scooting around in circles for a while now, but only in circles. Recently though, I started doing this:





Which made my Mom think I was just days away. Then I started moving backwards, like this:



But not really forward...until now.



I believe this is what they call the army crawl? I'm putting those elbow patches on my outfit to good use!
