Today was Halloween. I want to say it was your first but I guess it was your second. It seems like your first because you were actually old enough to participate! How weird for you to wear a ridiculous costume and walk up to strangers for candy.
You had the walking up to people down. You would hold your bucket up and stare at them. Then you would continue to stare at them and not move after you had your candy. Anything verbal was beyond you this year.
I'm sad to say, you only went to a few houses before I took you home. You wanted to walk this year and you were a pain! You didn't want to walk with us but did your own thing. Whenever I carried you to the rest of the group, you wriggled and fussed.
Dad and I decided you had enough. You were pretty bummed about being at home. However, I let you eat candy the whole time your siblings were gone and that perked you right up.
You are such a sweet boy. You gurgle a lot of made-up words. You've started speaking a lot more the past few days. You can say, "Hello!" really clearly. It's pretty dang cute to hear you say it. You can also say, "Mama" and "Dada" and "Nana." You can say, "Dallin" but it just comes out as "Da!" The rest of your siblings names are beyond you. Oh! You can say, "breastmilk." It sounds something like a tiny bit of baby gibberish ending in "ma!" I need to get it one film. You are a stinker with the camera! You have a sixth sense and pout and refuse to do anything cute when I'm taking a video.
After your siblings went to sleep, I sat and breastfed you for a long time. I love breastfeeding you. I'm not a touchy person but I sure do love snuggling with you. You fall asleep on me less and less these days. After a solid 45 minutes of breastfeeding, I put you to bed awake. You were tired though. You stayed laying down in my arms as I carried you to bed. Then you let me kiss you on the mouth a dozen times before finally pushing my face away.
I love you, Crew!
