Our little Blockhead!



Here's Vaughn at the school Fall Festival! He was a hit! We also dressed him up for the Downtown trick or treating. Obviously he doesn't quite "get" the trick or treating yet...and unless people are handing out Goldfish crackers, he can't eat it but...we had fun seeing him and the reactions to all the different costumes.
Now here in the south, there is some question as to if we are to trick or treat Saturday or Sunday...which is actually Halloween. We will see!

Fall fun


a cute shot that micah got when we were in Vermont...Vaughn has a great furrowed brow.

Vaughn in Brandon, Vermont (thus the hat!)

October is already half over! I can hardly believe it. Vaughn is walking all over like he owns the place! And you can tell, he thinks he is pretty cool now. Here is a video showing his moody side...He isn't always smiling. I think his teachers and us are the only ones who see him like this.


And here is another video showing Vaughn in his favorite spot. Looking out the front door. We sometimes open the storm door and put up the baby gate. He loves to hang out there and rattle his cage. Here, he is watching Micah mow the lawn.


We had a great time in Vermont visiting Courtney and Jon. We got a chance to check out their new farmstead, the market garden and surrounding towns for a few days. The GPS took us on an adventure through the Green Mountains in which it thought we were in Georgia for a time. It was quite interesting! The fall was arriving and there was a nip in the air. The tree lined country roads were beautiful. Vaughn did really well traveling despite a cold. We scoured the local small markets for comforts like infant tylenol and Vaughn's familiar formula (there was a recall on his and Vaughn's discerning palette noticed the similar brand change).
We had a great time and it was good to see my dear Court in her pregnancy. I can't wait to have her experience the craziness and wonderfulness of becoming a mother for the first time.

Is Vaughn Ben or Jerry? I didn't catch that on the tour.

The next blog entry will have Halloween pictures of the little man! I'll give you a hint...AAARRRRGGGHHHH!
