November 2010 - A Time for Adam and "Punkin"s!

(pumpkins)...November begins with the throwing out of Halloween jack-o-lanterns and most often ends with Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.

November was a really full month, from having our good friend Steven stay and visit with us on his way to a New Orleans software developer conference to a nice, breezy day at the zoo and ending it all with a bunch of Chow-side family over at our house for the Thanksgiving break. Lots of time for Adam to play with his cousins and various aunts and uncles, lots of time for the elders to play Mahjong well into the late hours.

One day you're carrying your son everywhere he needs and the next you're wondering how he got so tall and so fast on his feet!

Halloween 2010 Adam - October

Nearing the 1 1/2 year mark, Adam's continuing to branch out his personality. Whether getting funky to his toy music or excitedly grabbing a book and plopping down on Mommy or Daddy's lap to point out the animals and shapes, he's staying active on a constant basis. Mommy and Daddy having a great time too!

Technically Adam's second Halloween this year but this time around he was no mere candy-distributor, he took his costume on the go and made the rounds on our street to collect some various forms of sugar to be eaten by Mom and Dad later.
