More Fall Photos

Earlier this fall, I took Calvin out to a local park to get some pictures of him enjoying the beautiful fall weather we were having. 

 Calvin says, "That hill looks fun!

 Here

 I

 goooooooo!

 Yay

hills!"

More Monkey Business

Calvin got one more opportunity to wear his costume at a walk in the nature center. 

 We got some parachute time there, too.

 Photos of the rare forest monkey in his natural habitat.

 A monkey can climb a tree, right?

I tried to get a picture of  him running around the balcony area, looking like a caged monkey.

 But he wouldn't stand still, though. Shocking.

Silly monkey!

Happy Halloween

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! Since we had trick or treating on Sunday, we got together with Calvin's little friends for a music class and Halloween party. 

For some variety, Calvin borrowed Chip's bear costume. 

 All we needed was a lion to make this group complete. (Get it, lions and tigers and bears?)

 We had some parachute fun after music and books.

 Calvin had to do some serious bead counting.

It's a little known fact that bears and owls often fight over keyboards in the wild.

 Calvin and Chip did some housework together.

 Calvin had to get some sliding in (he had to move quickly before a tiny elephant pushed her way through).

 Later, Calvin went for a horse ride.

 He even went for a little horseback riding date with Maeve.

A fun Halloween for all!

Itty Bitty Baby

Calvin and I went over to Baby Isla's house to finally get to meet her. 

Hi everybody! I'm Isla! 

 

 This is not her mommy holding her. This is Anne.

 This is Anne's daughter Kaitlyn and her unique method of mobility. 

                                     She pulls herself forward with her arms.

 I think she is going to be a swimmer.

 Calvin had to check out this Baby Isla he's heard so much about and seen so many pictures of.

 Calvin liked Kaitlyn's hair.

 Kaitlyn wasn't so sure about her mommy holding Baby Isla.

 Giving Anne an idea of what having 2 kiddos might be like.

 So where was Isla's mommy? Entertaining Calvin, of course.

 She did that as I got my turn holding the little one. She says,"Hmmm. What is this thing?"

 "I think it might be my hand."

 "It IS my hand!Yay!"

Isla is growing fast and packing on the pounds. Quite the impressive preemie!

Trick or Treat

So I am jumping over a lot of photos I have waiting to be posting and going straight to today. Today we had trick or treating in our neighborhood. Calvin got all dressed up in his monkey suit. Literally. 

 This is Calvin doing his monkey impression.

 He was SO excited to walk down the street with his good friend Naomi.

 And to get to walk up to every house on the block.

 He borrowed Chip's monkey leash to go with the costume.

 He liked to walk with one piece of candy in each hand.

 You can see the little monkey peeking over his shoulder.

 Walking up with the big kids.

 Opps! He kept dropping his precious pieces of candy.

 He didn't really know what he was carrying.

 Til he tasted some chocolate.

 Then he got a little hyper!

 And wanted some more!

I have to wonder what was going through his little mind on this fun day!
