Anyhow...back to the blog. So this month was a busy one. I took Little Morris, Bree and Bradley to the Pumpkin Patch, and they loved it. They had a lot of fun there. They even got to go on a hayride, and I think that was the most exciting for them.
For halloween, Little Morris was a Lion. And we taught him to ROAR, and it was sooo cute! Cutest little lion I've ever seen! :) He was so cute trick-or-treating. I wasn't sure that he would get the whole concept, but after 2 houses, he had it down! He held his little pumpkin bucket in his left hand, and would hold his right hand out for the candy! I tried to get him to hold out his bucket, but I think maybe he thought that they would take his candy, because he refused. It was cute though. He didn't want anyone to carry him. He kept up with Bree and Bradley for the most part, and just ran his little heart out! He was definitely tuckered out by the time we had finished!
We also went to the fair! He loved the Merry-Go-Round. It was the first and last thing we did at the fair. The first time, he enjoyed it, and he got a little upset when he realized it was over and I was taking him off. Well, everyone went to get some last minute fair food, and while we waited, I decided to take Little Morris on the Merry-Go-Round for one last ride. Well, this time, he screamed when I tried to take him off, he latched his little legs around that horse, and held on so tight to the pole, that I had to literally pry his hands off. He did love it though! He and his daddy won a stuffed animal playing one of those little water gun games where you have to shoot the target. I was surprised because Little Morris was in Morris' lap trying to grab at the water squirter, but they still won! Yippee!
Little Morris is keeping us very busy, but we are so thankful that we were blessed with him! It is difficult to imagine or even remember life before him. He is constantly making us smile and laugh. He is a very particular little guy, but I think that he must get that from me. And he knows what he wants and when he wants it...and i guess that probably comes from me too!
What is going on with me and daddy? There really isn't a whole lot new going on for us. We are getting excited for our upcoming cruise in December. Excited, but also very nervous about leaving my baby for 7 days! I know he will be in good hands...but I also know I am going to miss him like crazy...probably more than he will miss us! I am also headed to day shift in the near future. No definite time yet, but it seems like it might happen soon! I am very excited about this. Again, nervous, because Little Morris will have to go to daycare, but I know it will be better for our family in the long run. I can't wait to have the weekends to spend together as a family. I know that daycare will be difficult for Little Morris in the begining, but before I know it, I'm sure he will be waving bye-bye, and saying, "I don't wanna go home yet!" He is just such a momma's boy that I worry. He is just so used to it being just the two of us during the week, and he is VERY dependent on mommy. I know that the socialization will be good for him, etc. but I'm still nervous. So please keep us in your prayers and pray for a smooth (or as smooth as possible) transition when the time comes.
We love you all, and hope that you enjoy the pictures below...there alot! I just couldn't choose! That is what happens when you have such a good-lookin' boy! :)
Gettin' ready for Halloween with his ghost pj's. The little ghost on the shirt glow in the dark!

Ok...so I LOVE this picture! The story is this - Breana and Bradley were at my house and they wanted to feed the ducks. I gave them bread and let them jump over the fence to go feed them. And there is Little Morris, just looking over and watching...probably saying to himself "I wanna come...." So sweet!
Pumpkin carving time. Luckily, my wonderful husband cleaned out the inside (I don't like the goo). And apparently Little Morris doesn't like the guts of the pumpkin either because he refused to grab any of it!
Gotta love those Mema's!
Loving on his daddy!
He has recently decided to boycott the highchair. I guess he thinks that he is a BIG BOY now, and likes to eat at the big table!
Happy Halloween from the Ferocious Lion! PS - check out our pumpkin in the back...it is a ghost with the word "boo"
The fair...and the infamous Merry-Go-Round!
Mema and Poppy fed him anything that he wanted...and he loved the chocolate ice cream.
The teddy bear that Little and Big Morris won!
