A poignant Halloween 2010

This time last year I was getting ready to be checked into the hospital so the 8 pound lump o' baby that was "residing in my tummy" could be monitored more frequently. Of course that baby ended up making his debut instead of simply being monitored, so these few days around Halloween are especially memorable.

This time this year that 8 pound lump o' baby is a 17 pound energetic bundle of crawling and climbing mischief, although I still didn't let him have any candy to fuel his exploits. He seemed to enjoy dressing up like a lion, although his paw booties were a little too big.
