I couldn’t decide which pictures to post, so they’re ALL here. Lately, he get’s VERY excited when he sees giant toys like big stuffed animals and blow-up Christmas lawn ornaments. He gives short bursts of high-pitched screams to vent his joy.
First Halloween Costume (Gallery 7)

He looks like a combination of Ian and Milo. He is a good lookin’ kid and I can’t wait to meet him. I bet Milo will love to be buddies with him. He’ll probably clobber Christian right now, but give them about 2 years and they’ll be great partners in crime.
Tia, your costume you made is fabulous. When I have another baby… I mean if I have another baby sometime in the distant future, can it wear the turtle costume for Halloween? How did you make the shell?
Unfortunately we destroyed the shell part of the costume, but you can definately borrow the fabric part. Tia made the fabric part and we both made the shell. For the shell we did paper mache over chicken wire over a plastic kangaroo-styled bib.
We both think we’ll never make a costume again, though I’d just blame the unhappiness making it on my absurd perfectionism – which turned out a product only as good as if I’d just done it without redos.
Um.. sorry I didn’t notice your comment till a month later.
