16 months

hello everyone! hope things are well as you anticipate thanksgiving. zeb and i are excited because cade we be able to make it home for that weekend. for those that don't know, cade has been stationed at fort benning, georgia for boot camp. we haven't seen him since july when he left.
in harper news, he's still as cute as can be. he's a pro at walking and getting better with steps. he does have missteps occasionally. he got his first busted lip because he tripped and just couldn't catch himself. here's his swollen lip accompanied by a little blood. he's tough.
we always joke that he's such a little brute. he is rough and loves being outside. he tries to climb on anything, even his toys. anything that atleast two inches off the ground he tries to stand on it. several times i have walked into the living room and caught him standing on the coffee table with this devilish grin on his face. it's really cute. but i just have to leave the room and he gets down. he finds no joy in being bad and not getting caught. he's at the stage where he's testing us.

since he is a brute, i dressed him as bam bam rubble for halloween. it suited him quite well! we tried to teach him to say "bam bam" but he never did.
one of his favorite pasttimes is dancing. he'll point at the computer for us to play some music. he's a big fan of john mayer. zeb and i especially love his head bopping at the end.

these next pics are from the other morning. he was throwing handfuls of dirt everywhere. about half of the handful would go forward and the other half went backwards, basically all over him! he had no clue.



can you see it in his hair?
