Halloween

Eli finally started walking all over the place. It was kind of crazy how fast he went from taking a few steps a day to not crawling at all. Being able to walk makes playing outside so much fun! And since he could walk, we were super excited to take him trick or treating. We started kind of early since Eli goes to bed early, and since he walked most of the time we only went to a few houses. But that was totally fine with us because I didn't want Eli eating tons of candy. He has a pretty bad sweet tooth. 

He tried to go in most of the houses that we went to. When the person in the house would put the candy bowl down for him to pick one sometimes he would look at the candy selection and then walk away. We would just tell the people that he didn't need the candy and we were really only doing this for the experience. 

By the end of the night he had about 10 pieces of candy, including a full size twix bar. The house that was passing out the full size candy bars, set the bucket down for Eli to pick one out and he promptly grabbed the whole bucket and started to walk away. Then when we told him that he couldn't have the whole bucket but could pick one, he grabbed one right out of the middle.

We all had a great night, and it was so fun to see Eli knocking on the doors and saying hi to everyone. This picture is Eli practicing the parts of the face. He knows exactly what eyes are and can say eye very well. This is him pointing to Dad's nose.
