Halloween 2009

Big Boy Bodacious Beautiful Baby Baker is a Wee Willie Wallace who has a winning smile. He smiles more than any kid I've ever seen but he also can be a bad baby. He loves the left hip. Baker has been crawling for about 10 days and doing 3 point setting for over a week-- which is fanny in a setting position using one hand as support. On Halloween he sat straight up for the first time. Then today he pulled up and was standing all by himself when I picked he up

from school.

In the mean time Jack has entered the world of three year olds. He is a great little guy except when he is tired which is when he does his best Aunt Caroline imitation. Every day we have one of those 'out of the mouth of children stories'. The other day we went down the street to see our friend Clark who loves to shop. Jack said, "Clark's car is gone, Clark not home." When I said he was a work Jack corrected me by saying, "Clark not at work, he at Costco!" He was probably right.

Jack can spell Jack, car, go, Wallace, boy, baby and a few more I can't remember.

Halloween was a big day. We went to a well attended neighborhood party over on Stocker Drive. All the kids wore their costumes along with a few of the adults--Papa thought the guy with the yellow hair was a little weird. There were games for the kids along with pedicab rides by Papa Pedicabman. Later Jennifer manned the door while Papa and Dolly took Jack around the immediate neighborhood to Trick or Treat at some of our friends houses. Jack was a big hit in his monkey suit. Later Jennifer and Kim took Jack over to Chadwick for an impromptu book club meeting where the girls got a little thirsty. When the Jello Shots came out Jack had to come home where he begged too much candy off of Papa. Later when Baby Baker woke up for his 9:30 PM topping off Jennifer had to come home and the partying was all over. Life in the fast lane.
