Beware of Dragon!

We had a great Halloween! Julius loved looking at all of the costumes! He also loved having his first lollipop! Hopefully Daddy will be home soon to see all of our fun pictures! Let the countdown to North Carolina begin!

He scoots best...

when I'm pretending to ignore him :)

Boo to you!

We had some friends over on Monday and carved pumpkins. Unfortunately Julius and I didn't have much of a choice when it came to carving because our pumpkin had a bad spot and the large O is a result of what I had to cut out...so we did what we could...Happy Halloween everyon!

A boy and his dog...

Sanford is really taking to Julius now! Whenever he comes in from the yard he finds Julius and plops down beside him. He must like being pushed on, pulled on, layed on, climbed on and sometimes when I'm too slow he even gets chewed on :)

10 Months Old!!

Now that is something to clap about! :)

65 degrees and sunny!

We played outside for a bit...Julius was going on and on about something :)

I love that his hair flies up whlie he jumps up and down! I know the picture is fuzzy but I just had to keep it!

Julius has two very good friends in Browni and Sanford!

Sooo Big!

We decided to try coloring a picture for Family Home Evening last Monday...he didn't get it that night but the next day he started to pick up the crayons and put them on the paper :)

This rosebush came from Uncle Clay on Valentine's Day because Aunt Emily and Gabby were spending it with us, so after I forgot to tell Nick to water it (who would think living in Wa. I would need to do such a thing!!) when I went to Hawaii and I had to clip it down to just a few stems when I got back, it has decided to live and produce some beautiful roses!

Here he is showing us he is SOOO BIG!

What do we do all week?

Well, we take a bath every day...and this week I decided to taste the side of the tub and I came down too fast/hard and chipped my tooth!


We got a present from Nana and Papa Suggs. This is Monty Rex and he was a little too lifelike for me in the beginning...

Then Mommy sat me down with some of my favorite toys and sneeked Monty in beside me...

And I eventually warmed up to him :)

We play in the kitchen...this is taking all the bags out of the drawer...

Putting them behind my back...this is a new skill I love to practice!

Then I turn around... And do it again...we think this is sooo funny!

We play in my bedroom....I scooted over to the door to check out things...

My coat hanging on the wall deserved a few yells....

The door stoppers make great noise...my cousin Galina loved them too!

I made it to the gate and found out what its purpose is....let me out!!

We play in the kitchen some more...these cans roll very nicely!

Practicing my bowling skills...

Daddy will be proud!

And finally, we play in the kitchen again! I love this place! I'm learning that there are doors everywhere!

My favorite are the pots! They make lots of noise being thrown around the kitchen!

I love to feel different textures on my tongue! That results in a lot of extra dishes for Mommy!

Julius is growing so fast! With his new ability to move has come some serious investigating! He is also developing quite an appetite! I love watching him grow and learn new things every day! I'm so grateful for the amazing opportunity of being a Mom! It is everything I dreamed it would be...and yes, I dreamed of being a Mom!
