The Life of Stephen

He only lasted about a half hour in his costume but it was long enough to get a few shots off. The combination of a warm day (which meant a warm costume) and it being too close to bedtime made for a cranky baby. At least we got to take him to grandma and grandpa’s house so he could show off his costume a little. We’ll start to trick-or-treating next year. Mom and dad both were a little bummed, after having the costume for a few weeks we were anxious to see him in it. We’re are starting to see that some of these “firsts” don’t last that long sometimes.

Last weekend was Stephen’s first trip to the pumpkin patch. Thanks to The Mom he was perfectly dressed for the occasion, complete with BOO! on the feet of his onesie. Aunt’s Carol and Colleen and cousin Cole along with uncle Chris all made the trip. We didn’t do the corn maze this year although it would have been nice just to get away from the country music playing. Being as pumpkins are orange there was no problem getting Stephen to pick one out. At least we think he was picking it out - like most things these days he was trying to eat it, or put it to his mouth anyway. Stephen had a great time, visiting with the family sitting on a tractor, and if you look at the pictures page you can see he was pooped by the end of the day.

Pretty soon we get to see Stephen’s first Halloween costume.
