The latest

Here's the latest batch of photos. We had lunch in Richmond on Saturday with our friend Kate. Elio was delighted to meet her. And it was cooler here for a couple days, so we busted out some cute hats and the dinosaur sweater. Yes, we put pants on him when it was time to go outside.

Busy bee

It's not even Halloween yet, but Elio's already gone out as the busy bee twice, at our regularly scheduled Thursday playgroup and at a costume party on Saturday.

Here he is at the costume party:










And here are the babies at our playgroup:

Busy week

Elio's had lots of visitors recently -- both sets of grandparents came to dote on him.






Also... today is Elio's five month birthday. In the last couple of weeks, he's figured out how to roll over from his stomach to his back. It's only a matter of time before he's crawling around and demanding solid food. It goes by so fast!

Halloween preview

Oh, we're very excited around here about Elio's Halloween costume. I've been hard at work on it... and the only things remaining to do are finishing putting some glitter on the wings and duct taping them on. But here are some preview shots of the busy bee.

The pumpkin gets a pumpkin

Dan's folks are in town, and we all trundled off to the pumpkin patch to get a pumpkin for the pumpkin. Nevermind that it was about 85 degrees out and just didn't feel like fall... the pumpkin had a good time.






And later on...

More napping
