Tommy at 17-18 months

We've had a lovely late fall -- the roses were blooming well into October. (They don't call Portland the "Rose City" for nothing!)

But, pretty soon, fall did arrive -- then we had all sorts of leaves on the ground in the back yard.

Funny though, Mom insisted on putting them all in the yard waste recycling bin...I tried to help, but it was slow going.

Then one day Dad dressed me up in this funny outfit. (Mom was giving a paper in Boston.) I wasn't too happy when they tried to put my hat on!

So we comprimised and lost the hat.
I was a bit happier when I was outside -- they had things that glow AND people kept giving me things. Trick or Treat!

We're spending more time indoors these days and I've mastered a few new skills.. like sitting down in chairs (and not climbing into them)!
