October 31, 2004 - Halloween

Stair climbing is a new sport around here.

Fall, incarnate.

Pre-Halloween Sky

Connor the Spider

Kiara the Pumpkin

Bryn the Doctor

Anders the Pumpkin leads the Halloween Parade!

Scary Anders

Trick or Treaters

It was a bit dark to see how I was framing things, so I just held the camera up and started shooting.

This one wins the scary prize.

October 29, 2004 - Michelle and Anders

October 28, 2004 - Cousin Anders Visits

Cousin Anders and Aunt Michelle came for a visit. (Maybe will get a picture of Michelle tomorrow.)

Bryn's gotten into the habit of standing up in his crib.

At the Gate

Don't eat the bone!

William and Bryn

Little Winker

Jamfi, STAY!

Hey, you little freak!

October 22, 2004 - Bryn & Dad

With and without flash:

October 19, 2004 - Bumper = Pillow

Bryn has started to pull down the bumpers in his crib to get a better view of the world. Occasionally, it even makes a good pillow.

October 16, 2004 - Yolanda's Going-Away Party

Yolanda landed her dream job, so she's moving from Toronto to Vancouver. We already miss her!

October 12, 2004 - Paul and Kate

Here are some more neighbors. We're surrounded by babies!!!!

October 10, 2004 - Bouncing Baby

October 9, 2004 - Boudin Sausage

We were in St. Lawrence Market, and we bought a little Pinnochio puppet for Bryn.

While at the market, Mike picked up the ingredients to make some Boudin sausage. It's a cajun treat, which he first enjoyed at the conference in Gatlinburg, this past spring. It was far more difficult to stuff a sausage than we figured it should be, and we probably won't be making them again, anytime soon. That sausage in the front is not only the first of the batch, it's the first the Mike has ever made!

October 8, 2004 - Bryn and Cosmo

Bryn and Cosmo, enjoying each other's company

October 7, 2004 - Crawling Bryn (With Babies, Pets and Neighbors)

Bryn's finally crawling on his own. He managed to discover the underside of his exersaucer.

Hey look, another baby!

Spider Bryn

Sometimes Bryn enjoys travelling during his naps.

Pets

Jamfi at the top of the stairs

Ferris

Cosmo

Neighbors

Jill took some pictures of Vania and her girls down the street. Since Bryn sees them almost everyday, they're like a second family to him.

Here's Eric again, just down the street. It's hard to believe that he's only a month older than Bryn.

October 6, 2004 - Stragglers from the crappy camera

We still keep the old camera in Bryn's diaper bag, in case the good one isn't nearby. Unfortunately, that camera doesn't date the pictures, so these were taken sometime in the past month or so.

Connor in his exer-saucer:

Amanda and Kiara

Lunch-time is a good time for sleeping.

Transluscent Bryn

Eating out makes me feel so sophisticated!
