Brass Monkey


I love Halloween. I've always really liked Halloween: the candy, dressing up, and a month of scary movies on t.v. But now I LOVE it. I knew dressing Colden up, even if it was against his will, would be loads of fun, but this much fun, come on! He enthusiastically donned his costume and, in true Colden form, began his barrage of facial expressions. I peed my pants! Nuff said. The pics are funny, but to see him waddle around raises it to a whole new level. It's a shame he is growing so fast that this costume will only last a few more weeks, but I'll get every laugh I can out of it.
 On top of the enjoyment I get from his new alter ego, he has started real food. I use the term real food loosely. It says green beans on the container, it smell like green beans, but I wouldn't be able to eat much of it myself. I guess it's like baby birds when their mothers chew up the worm then puke it into the baby birds mouth. The green bean fu-man-chu that he wears through out the feeding is comedy gold. It is hard for me to wipe him clean because it's so much funnier with it on. He has also worn a pea mustache and a banana beard. He is slowly becoming a master of disguise. He has enjoyed the things he has been exposed to so far, although he always makes a disgusted face at first while he figures out if he likes what is being shoveled into his mouth.
He has also mastered rolling over. Correction, he mastered rolling over from his back to stomach. The return trip is still being perfected. I'm so proud. I missed his debut, but he was very willing to do multiple repeat performances. He is also "talking" more and more. I think I heard "Daa Daa" and maybe "poo", but that might be wishful thinking on my part. Enjoy the pics.
