elmo is fun...

Well it has been awhile since I added anything here, sorry! I hurt my back, then I was catching up on everything, then my mom was here, then I was lazy! That about sums it up! Eric had such a great time when my mom was here, she totally catered to him the whole time- which grandparents are supposed to do- so I guess it was ok!!! I'm just kidding, it was great! He loved having her her and she loved being with him! It was nice to finally be able to go to the dentist, and not have to worry that he was going to scream the whole time on the babysitter! He was totally fine being with her, whether I was there or not! It was sooooo nice! He also started to walk while she was here too. He had taken 2 steps so far, and he started to take a lot more while she was here. She has a way of bribing him with cookies!!!:) Whatever works! He is still wobbly, and has a hard time getting up from the floor- so he crawls to a table or wall to pull himself up. If he is walking and falls, he is just as happy crawling still! Anyway, it was so sad to see her leave! It will only be a few weeks until we go back to Pittsburgh for the holidays, so that will be so much fun!

Well we are finally going to move next weekend! The people who are there are supposed to be out by the 25th, but we are hoping they are out by Thanksgiving! We have appliances being delivered on the 24th and the house is being cleaned and carpets cleaned on the 25th, so I hope those people cooperate!!! I have gone over there everyday since their house has been ready, but no moving truck yet! Keep your fingers crossed for us!!! I'll let you know how it all goes!

Eric has been getting into his bouncy chair everyday and sitting in it! He loves it! We think because it is just his size. So today we went out and got him his own chair- so he doesn't break the bouncy chair for his sister!!!:) We got him that "Tickle Me Elmo Chair". Eric loves it. His friend Jackson has one, and Eric loves to play in it when we go over thier house. Well he loves it just as much here!

trick or treat...

Eric had such a good time last night! I so thought he would not want to keep his costume on, but he did such a great job- didn't pull at his ears or anything! We went over Jamie's and went trick or treating with her and her kids. Eric didn't talk so much when we were up at a door- just looked at them and took the candy, but he was talking up a storm between each house! He loved to see all the other kids, and if a house had good lighting and if there weren't a lot of kids- I would hold his hand and he just walked up to the house! He is such a turkey, he will hold my finger and walk, but he won't walk on his own! I know I know, he will do it anyday now- or in his own time!:) Anyway, we really didn't need the candy, but he was having such a good time talking and waving and walking, that we just kept going!

Until John called and he was on his way home from work and something was terribly wrong with his truck! He was overheating and making crazy noises and I thought that I was going to have to meet him somewhere. Well he made it home- but I met him there so he could take my car to the auto parts store and fix the problem. What a night to have to be out in the garage fixing your car! He said that the only kids that came in to trick or treat were teenagers- it was getting pretty late though- so that is all that was still out. He was able to fix it though, which was great because I wasn't stranded without a car today! It is very nice to be married to a very handy guy!!!

Anyway, for the most party, the night was a lot of fun! Eric had a great time! Here are pictures of all of the Star Wars characters.
