Trick or Treat!!

First things first... HUGE announcement... Jack walked BY HIMSELF this weekend! On Sat. he was playing with John by one of the chairs and John moved away from the chair and called him over and he took five unassisted steps to get there! It was SO exciting! Now we've opened a huge can of worms though - he wants to walk to and from everything... and of course being like his daddy he has NO fear and has decided to add attempting to climb things to his latest list of talents!

So, that was our excitement over the weekend... Great Aunt Anne was in town for a visit so we had her, Grandma, Mary, Tim, Ben and Josh over for dinner on Sat. night so Jack got to show off his amazing walking skills! We took it easy on Sunday - Jack of course practiced walking - and pretty much just hung out at home. Nothing too exciting.

Yesterday Jack had a Halloween Party at the library. It was so cute watching his reaction to all the kids dressed up in their costumes. It seems that Lions are all the rage this year and Jack thought their manes were meant for petting so he kept reaching out for them like he does our dogs. The party started with a little free play in the children's area of the library and then we went into the meeting room for songs and a snack before trick or treating at all the different reference desks of the library. Jack had a blast walking with Grandma from desk to desk.

His Halloween plans for tonight are much less festive I'm afraid... we're going to visit Poppy at his office this afternoon and then this evening we're going to stay in (keeping warm and dry) and let Jack play in his costume while we hand out candy.

There are some pictures from the party on the photo site... check back next week for some from tonight!
