Halloween and Family Visit!

Eli's first Halloween was a big hit. My parents came in and brought my niece Maya for the big holiday. The week before we went to pick pumpkins and I had grand visions that I would get the most precious pictures of Eli at the pumpkin patch that I would cherish forever. Instead I got approximately 45-50 shots of him looking anywhere BUT the camera, eating leaves, grass and various bugs and crying. No one told me that taking pictures would be this HARD!!! If anyone has ANY baby cooperation techniques, feel free to divulge as I simply ended up looking like a lunatic calling his name louder and louder and clicking, whistling and clapping. I am, thankfully, lucky I wasn't committed... Here's some pics... the good, the bad and the ugly....

Yummy...


more food!
