Elmo is a no go

I repeat elmo is a no go. Rayce is without a doubt scared of Elmo. The real life version anyway. He loves to watch Elmo on tv but for some reason he is terrified of my hokey pokey Elmo. Here's a video check it out for yourself.



If you listen I ask Rayce if he likes Elmo and he responds!

Me: "You don't like Elmo?"

Rayce: "NOOOOOOOO!"

Sounds like it to me...What do you think?

10 months

Rayce turned 10 months old today. What a big boy he is. In the midst of everything else I totally forgot to update you guys on crying it out. Well, lets just say it was a SUCCESS! Yep you read it right. Rayce is now sleeping through the night like a big boy. He usually goes to bed around 7:30 (because of the time change), will wake up to eat around 6 and then he will go right back to sleep until 8 or 9. Hurray for over 12 hours of sleep! It makes a world of difference let me tell you. Other then that nothing else has really changed. We’re in the market for a new car seat he has just about grown out of his other one. He hasn’t cut another tooth. He isn’t close to walking. Still no clapping but he does wave occasionally. He does however understand the word NO, he knows when he is not suppose to get into something. Although he does try my patients many time through out the day. Little stinker.

Here are some pictures I attempted to take. I had to bribe him with a sucker just to get him to sit still. Not the best of pics but I still love this kid so much it hurts.

First Halloween

Rayce's first Halloween was a hit and we had a blast trick or treating. He absouletly loved it. I tell you he is such a good kid. He did not even get scared at the scary houses and did not once fuss or whine. We walked throughout the park for almost 2 hours, he just looked around and was just so curious as to what was going on. We had a lot of fun as family. I'm am really pleased with the way the night went. I must say we really did have a Happy Halloween! My son is the champ of all champs!
