Happy Halloween!

Our little pumpkin had a great first Halloween! Ashley and Mikael came down with cute outfits for Joseph. They tried to let him pick which to wear by holding both in front of him. His solution? Grab both at the same time! On his second try, he went for this one:


And he looked adorable! We even had orange socks, again, thanks to a previous Ashley and Mikael gift, but they are really easy for him to take off, so they didn't last very long.
We also decided it was time to pull the activity garden that I bought earlier this fall at the kids' consignment sale out of the garage. Joe wiped it down while Joseph was finishing up his morning nap, and it was all ready to go when Joseph woke up and finished off his lunch. He loves practicing standing, and this particular toy is great because it's heavy enough that it doesn't tip over when he pulls up on an edge.

 He was having fun opening and closing the mailbox door, and even managed to stand on his own while clapping his hands!
 Then of course, he had to start chewing on the toy carrot and onion, along with the pieces of mail. He hasn't figured out the whole toy, but I'm hopeful that it'll provide lots of fun as the weather continues to get colder and his activity levels go up and up.
More pictures to come tomorrow of Joseph in his second costume - the giraffe!
