Halloween & Our Growing Boy

McKay has grown up so much this last month. I took him to his new doctor about a month ago and she wanted to see him again after she had a chance to review his record from our doctor in Utah. He grew 1 inch and 1/2 a pound in one month! Between that and his haircut, he seems so much older to us!

McKay giving my vitamins their daily shake.

We went to our ward Halloween party and McKay loved running around the gym in his dinosaur costume, kicking balloons and eating our food. After Jordan put his costume on, I helped him look at himself in the mirror. He loves his costume!

How often do you get lucky enough to have the camera all ready AND focused when your child does something like this? Funny boy!

McKay has always loved to be outside but now going out at least two times each day is a must. I am so glad we have a little yard! He is having a lot of fun playing in the leaves.

We weren't going to take McKay trick or treating but when we were outside playing earlier in the day, a couple of neighbors said they were looking forward to seeing him so we decided we had better not disappoint them! ;) McKay wasn't too sure what to think at the first house. By the second house, he understood that they wanted him to take their candy and transfer it to his bucket. He didn't quite understand why she only let him take 3 mini candy bars... there were still some left in her bowl!

McKay was very polite and signed 'thank you' at all three houses. Pretty good 'loot' for three houses huh!?! BTW: McKay LOVES to sit on the front porch step. He backs up until he can feel it on the back of his legs and then sits. He is the perfect size! We usually start our 'outside time' sitting on the step.

One of the houses had Ritz Bits (peanut butter cracker sandwiches). Obviously, McKay LOVED those! We let him have all of those and helped him eat the rest of his candy. We try to help out as much as we can!
