My first halloween

"I went trick-or-treating with my mom today. Oh! It was so fun! I dressed up a puppy but at first I wasn't comfortable wearing it. After few minutes, I felt warm wearing it outside the house so I kinda like it at the end of the night. Me and my mommy knocked on our neighbors house and mommy said the magic word "trick-or-treat" and they gave us bunch of candies. I also met my Kyle and Clayton. They are my mom's friend's sons. Kyle dressed up Buzz Lightning and Clayton was a lion. They both looked so cool! My cousins came to our house too and they were all dressed up with costumes. I love Halloween! I can't wait to dress up again next year".

Why the gate mommy?

"When I get tired of playing with my toys on the floor in the living room, I crawl going to my grandpa or my mommy and daddy's room. I like saying hello to my grandpa every now and then while he is watching his show in his room that is why I always go to his room. Grandpa said that he don't mind me visiting him in his room except that he is scared for me that I might get into his stuff (meds,tools etc.) which are dangerous for me. When grandpa's room is closed, I go to mommy and daddy's room to spend time with my daddy when he is off from work. But the thing is, they (mommy, daddy and grandpa) doesn't want me to go in their rooms without them knowing. They said that there are lots of stuff in their room that aren't safe for babies like me. When mommy hears me crawling going to grandpa's room, she immediately chase me and pick me up and bring me back to the living room where she said I am suppose to stay so she could watch me play. This morning, mommy put this gate for me so I could not just go to their rooms without  anybody's knowledge. She said she will take the gate off on the right time".

Halloween Costume

My mommy bought me a Halloween Costume and a candy bag. We can't find the costume that I want in the stores and that fit me so mommy just decided to buy online instead. Here is a video that mommy took when he got my costume from the package. You will notice that I can't wait to open it on the video. Halloween is getting closer and I can't wait to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood with my costume on and carrying my Frankenstein candy bag :)

I can now wave "bye-bye"

We were all so happy here inside the house seeing how Zac wave "bye-bye". He look so adorable! The only problem is, he will only do it whenever he wants to OR if no one is looking at him. So I sat the camera infront of him, turned it on, then I pretended that I wasn't looking at him so that he will wave and I'll be able to caught ot on camera. We are so proud of him. The videos below were taken today. Here are his videos.

My Hooter shirt

It was 80F today and it was kinda warm outside so my mommy let me wore this comfy tops. She said she bought this in a restaurant when we went to Florida last September. She took this picture of mine right after we get back inside our home.

"I met a mascot"

Yesterday, my mommy together with my grandpa went to the chilli cook-off. There were lots of people that I don't know in that place. My mommy and grandpa bought some tickets in exchange of the food they called "chilli". My mommy didn't give me some of her food because she said that that is not good for me. We went several booths for her to eat chilli, I think he had 5 cups of it. In that place, I also heard of a girl's voice singing on the stage, and near the stage, there was a mascot. The mascot looks friendly to everybody specially to kids. So my mommy brought me to him and took a picture of me with him. Mommy thought that I'd be scared of him but the truth is, I even touched him. I like him and I think he likes me too.

Zac finger eating

We decided to give Zac some Gerber cookies when he was almost 9 months old. The size of the cookies are too big for Zac that he will get choked so I cut them into small pieces using my fingers. When I laid the small pieces of cookies on his highchair tray, Zac looked at them like he was saying "Them looks yummy! But what are these mom?". So what I did was, I showed Zac how to finger eat. I picked a piece of the cookie and put it in my mouth and munched it. He looked at me and I felt like he had the feeling of wanting to do what I just did but seemed like he wasn't sure of how start doing it. So this time, I took his hand, made his fingers get a piece of cookie and put the cookie in his mouth. We did it twice, and on the third time, he did it by all by himself. And of course, I am a proud momma lol!

Now, Zac is get so excited everytime I say the word "cookie".Here is a video of Zac finger eating his cookie.

So weird

Awhile ago, I was busy and I want Zac to sleep so I could do the chores that I have to do, but after few minutes of him sleeping, I missed him. I wanted to wake him up and play with him because I was missing his laugh, our playtime, his smile and his whining. Weird eh?
