HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
So of course this is the holiday that warrants many pictures and much hairspray. Both were in order for Tivon. I made the costume out of trick or treating bags that we picked up at the drug store. Only the best for my little guy. Enjoy (or excuse) the barage of pictures. . .

Musical Safety

Tivon has really taken to playing the piano but what you can really appreciate is his need to be safe while playing the piano. It's a dangerous world out there. You never know when a key might jump up and grab you. And tackle you to the ground.

Say "CHEESE" or I mean, say "DAIRY FREEEEE"

And to think that he used to look like this:

The first BIG lip . . . it's not pretty.

Josh, Ti and I ventured to the park one evening before dinner. Alas, Tivon did not know what was in store. He of course had to slide down the slide first thing but then he made the fateful decision to go to the sandbox. While there, he scooped, he dug, and he toddled around in the sand. BUT there was a big hole (dug previously by some devious toddler) next to the side of the sandbox. Both Josh and I thought Ti saw the hole and was maneuvering around it when, BAM, in an instant, he fell down, lip first into the concrete wall around the sandbox. There was blood. There was screaming. There was cuddling. Then there was Tivon pushing away from me because he wanted to play some more. I guess he's okay but here's the evidence.

Visitors to the Big Apple

We had a wonderful (but quick) visit with Bill and Christie this past weekend. I'm not sure you can do more than they did in two days. We went out for a nice dinner--thanks to Gretchen for babysitting a sleeping Ti!

We went all around Central Park--we even went out on the canoes. Tivon LOVED this. I still carry Tivon alot because it's much easier than taking a stroller up and down the subway stairs. Uncle Bill and Aunt Christie got to hold him too--a little small compared to his cousins. :)

The boys rode their bikes (with Tivon in tow) down to the tip of the island and then Christie and I met them there via public transportation. It was perfect timing to see the Statue of Liberty at sunset. Tivon, however, just wanted to pick up the trash on the ferry. I guess I should be proud?

It was much too short but we had a fabulous time. For more pics, visit Bill and Christie's blog at http://billchristielee.blogspot.com/
