Oh yes it's fall time in South Carolina and Elijah is loving the weather. We've been spending a lot of time playing in our beautiful yard and playing at the playground just two doors down. We absolutely love our neighborhood and feel so blessed to be here.
The other day, in an effort to coach Elijah into his Halloween Costume, we figured we would try it out around the house:) He has been working very hard on learning what sounds animals make and his favorite is, "what does a puppy say?". In reply, Elijah will make this little squeaking noise that actually sounds like a puppy bark. SOOOO cute.
Elijah has also been getting into more and more (go figure). He loves the bookshelf in our ....well someday it will be our study. As I was working on my chair reupholstery project (which is finally complete and looks awesome), Elijah helped himself to some light reading.
These were buried behind the books....Elijah earned them for that afternoon :)
As a side-note, check out those molars!
In an effort to be super prepared for Halloween this year, Matt and I waited until the week of Halloween to carve pumpkins with Elijah. Thankfully, we found the perfect pumpkins for our beautiful front porch and Elijah even participated this year.
So as I'm catching up the blog once again, we're back to present time of Halloween night. Elijah put on his puppy costume and set out for the park. Our neighborhood HOA, which maintains the private park in the neighborhood, hosts a Halloween party in the park. Children are invited to come to the park in costume for pizza, fun and candy. It's a great activity for the younger children that may not be eating the candy, but who would enjoy running around and participating in the dress up fun. Elijah really seemed to enjoy it and had a great time chowing down on food he normally doesn't eat. Big surprise, he ate 2 1/2 slices of pizza and a ton of cheetoh/cheese puff things.

Thank you for this picture Sara Elise
Elijah was watching out for those trick-or-treat'ers :)
Elijah has been practicing his dancing skills more and more as of late. He'll start dancing around to anything from a phone ring to the music from his toys, however if you want a sure fire opportunity to capture this amazingly talented dancer, I recommend turning on Chuggington. Even I want to tap my foot to the song while it's stuck in my head all day. Life is so great. Enjoy it as much I we do.
