Pumpkins

We got our first Halloween pumpkin yesterday and had lots of fun carving and scraping it out. Max enjoyed picking out seeds and feeding them to Lincoln and throwing pumpkin "guts" all over the balcony. Then he got bored and decided to jump on my back....Charlie did an excellent job carving out the face.

Pony!

Max has just realized how fun it is to climb onto Charlie and jump up and down like he's riding a horse. We started our day with some pony rides the other morning...then he got tired out. Bobo was in on the action of course...

A talking update - he is saying a few new words...he really just decides what he does or doesn't want to say. Lately, he is into every animal saying "roar" like a tiger (with a hand gesture of course). He mostly sticks to the staples - Car, Ball, Adya (airplane/garbage truck/motorcycle), more, down, nana (banana), and lots of Mama/Dada/Bobo. I do wish he had a larger vocabulary, but I think he mainly just hates doing anything I ask him to do, so...
