I culled. Really I did. I took 335 photos in the last three days. He's just too darn cute. Every photo makes me laugh, and I hope they will do the same for you.
Friday we went on the most beautiful hike with five of our baby friends and their mamas. We hiked and picnicked at Lair O' the Bear near Red Rocks. So beautiful and so fun! We also pre-decided to dress all the babies in fall-ish gear and bring pumpkins to take autumn photos.
Eli and the rock.
Clockwise from the pumpkin holder: Inara, Jakob, Savannah, and Eli...and the rock.
Eli and the rock, the sequel.
Inara and the pumpkin. Savannah and Eli...and the rock.
Funny Face.
Funny face and pumpkins.
Love a pumpkin.
Amazing tree and beaver-made-lake.
Gorgeous scenery.
More autumnal goodness. I love autumn.
Funny face. Beautiful aspen trees.
Funny face. Excellent hair. What's inexplicable is that some days his hair stands straight up, and some days it lays so so flat. There's no predicting it.
Rock fest with Savannah.
More please.
I see me!
Toothy goofy (notice...hair completely flat).
I've been a glazing and firing fool for the last three days (with breaks for hiking and autumnal photography). This was my pile o' pots to glaze.
Eli watched.
Boooooring.
I set him up a little play area in the spray booth.
Eli's fun cookie jar! I had such fun making it.
So, today I finished glazing while I was firing. Eric kept Eli this morning so I could glaze like crazy. And then the boys joined me for a pumpkin fest while we waited for the kiln to finish.
My fellas.
It was another gorgeous day. Eli really enjoys playing in the pack in play now. It's really cute.
Our four punkins. Awwww .
He crawled around and got all muddy. So...STUDIO BATH!
Water is cool.
Zzzzz.
Peek-a-booin' on the way home.
Our little pumpkin family all lit up. Pumpkin seeds roasting in the oven. Cool fall breeze blowing in the window. Yay autumn.
Just being cute on the floor.
Eli spent Halloween morning at the Children's Museum, hanging out with lots of other costumed kids. The turtle look is in this year.
The turtle in his natural habitat. Or, at least someone's natural habitat.
Jessa and Christa made a whole new set of jack-o-lanterns, since our other ones committed suicide and jumped off the deck. Note the creative use of bell peppers.
We held a little church young adult party last night, and here are the folks who came dressed up.
The turtle has vanquished his panda bear foe.
Cute turtle face.
Jessa hasn't been feeling good today, so we went outside to get some fresh air. We don't usually use this swing, since it's not very safe, but we thought it'd be fun to try it out. Eli loved it.
Swingin' like a big boy.
Then we moved to the trampoline, where Eli's hair got a little crazy from the static electricity.
Checking out the pine needles.
Our house is under a flight path to the Denver airport, so Eli is in the habit of looking up any time he hears an airplane, which is about every 45 seconds.
Cutest kid.
