One Little Monkey, Jumpin' on the Bed....



Kaysen was a monkey for Halloween! The costume didn't last too long, as she got hot in it, and she had an incredibly runny nose, but it was very sweet while it lasted. She was photographed in her monkey suit by the Boise "grand-paparazzi" complete with a green backdrop and a photographer's assistant (grandma) making faces in the background.

No trick-0r-treating for this little monkey, but for sure next year. We didn't even get any real trick-or-treaters, except for our neighbor Duncan who dressed as a mummy to hide his newly broken arm.

Adam wore an afro and a flashy shirt, and Courtney was Hilary Clinton. Our friends who threw the Halloween party (also next door neighbors, extremely convenient!) got in costume as well, with Shannon dressed as Sarah Palin. All hail the political scene, live on Scyene Way! Shannon even created a faux-article documenting the interaction between Sarah and Hilary and added photos. Pretty funny, check it out here - http://reagan.weebly.com/1/post/2008/11/sarah-palin-pallin-around-with-hilary.html

Kaysen's most recent accomplishments include rolling over, sitting up, and a wide variety of noises and calls and lip pursing and buzzing which seem to be indicating the onset of some early vocalization! She may be talking by Christmas! We don't know where she gets this verbal affinity??? She is enjoying rice cereal, oatmeal, and a variety of veggies and we're getting started on some fruits as well. In particular, she loves homemade baby food concoctions and also begs for more when we feed her Happy Baby cereals and baby food -www.happybabyfood.com. For our friends with kids, I strongly recommend this line which has everything from beginning cereals to toddler meals. One of the co-founders has become a friend of mine and she is an amazing woman who deserves a lot of credit and support for creating such a fantastic line of foods with organic ingredients and probiotics.

Kaysen calls - more updates very soon!
xoxoxo to all from all of us
