Thirsty Bear

I could hear him in the living room talking to the bear, saying "wa wa? more?" and making slurpy noises with his mouth as if the bear were drinking from the cup.

Halloween 2009

Around here, they do "Trick-or-Treat Street" in downtown Evergreen, since it's hard to do a lot of door-to-door trick-or-treating. He got lots of comments on his lion costume (thank you, Grandma Kozel!). He even gave out an occasional "ROAR" to people walking by while trick-or-treating. He seemed to have a really good time (and apparently loves M&M's and Twix).

Playing in the snow!

Christopher's 1st real outing in the snow. He had a hard time moving in his snow suit at first...like a scene out of "A Christmas Story." Even got to do a little sledding at the neighbor's house.

After a long hiatus, it's time for another "Christopher's World." Just shy of 19 months and chatting up a storm these days. He particularly likes to repeat the last word he hears (note to self: if going to say a swear word, put it at the beginning of the sentence). Christopher loves going for walks and pointing out each and every ant, pine cone and rock along the way. You can understand why it takes a good hour to walk to the mailbox and back. He's busy learning his colors and loves to read books. He's also had his first chance to play in the snow and seemed to think it was a lot of fun. Good thing, because there's going to be plenty more of that soon.

"Donkey ride" - His first (and I'm going to guess, last) donkey ride at a local "Cider Fest." Doesn't he look amused?

"Helping" - Such a big boy, helping Dad to pick up all the pine needles from the driveway.

"Snow" - Oh yeah, snow! I can make a snowball to throw at Mom (again)!

"Kiss" - The adorable drool-covered face he makes when he wants to kiss you.

"Spaghetti" - His new favorite food (this was chicken cacciatore). Who needs utensils anyhow?
