Happy Halloween!

I'll try and get the photos off the camera tomorrow, but I thought I'd post real quick. We had a GREAT trip to the Pacific Northwest. Nate did great on both flights. We didn't buy him a seat (after hitting some turbulence on the way out, I will likely always get a seat for him so he can be in his carseat), but on the way back there were enough empty seats for us to have him in his carseat. :). He had a great time watching all the kids we visited, and may be a bit lonely here! Nathan made lots of new friends: Cecelia, Nora, George, Anderson, Tatom, Annika, and Kai. :)

Lots of new firsts while on this trip:

1st plane flight, DEN to PDX, 10/25
Cut his 1st tooth, 10/25
1st carousel ride, 10/26 (on a horse called Little Joe)
1st hands free stand (about 3-4 seconds), 10/29 (in Amy's kitchen)
1st stair climb, 10/30 (a whole 1/2 flight - video to come)

Whew!

So, we didn't really plan to dress him up for Halloween. I'm not very into Halloween - I love Fall, but I can totally do without the scary stuff. I'm a wimp. Anyway, I figure we'll be more into it when he is. But, we visited Halloween central, otherwise known as the Metcalf house, and I got into the spirit. Partially because Erin "made" us help her carve her 17 pumpkins! Ha! Nate borrowed a dragon costume for a neighborhood party, and he promptly feel asleep! His cherub sleeping face make him look like the boy from Where the Wild Things Are! :) He wore a skelton sweatsuit today on the plane that I picked up last minute. See, I'm not a total scrooge. :\
