Happy Halloween!

It's Fayed's first Halloween today! We didn't really plan for it too much, we'll probably just go trick or treating around the neighborhood for a little while tonight. I'm going to dress Fayed up as a sailor. I couldn't get great pictures like I wanted (both because of the camera and the continually moving subject), but I made a little card with what I had.

Walking!

Fayed has been walking for a couple of weeks now. He's wobbly and awkward but he gets around quite well and it's very cute! I will put up a video of it as soon as I get my new camera cord. He's also getting more of an attitude. He has mini tantrums when he can't get what he wants - which right now is the radio attached to the kitchen cabinets, curtain rods, pens, his dad's glasses or phone, and real tools/screws. He is also getting sneaky, he will take things when I'm not looking (like my hair brush or small toys) and try to put them down vents or try to throw them in the garbage.

We're getting ready for his 1 year birthday party already! Time has been flying by! He's such a big boy - I was looking at his newborn baby pictures and it is amazing how much he's changed already. I just can't wait for the next step - talking!!

Update!

An update is long overdue! The past month we have bought a house, moved around while fixing up the house and getting things ready, and then finally moved in, and it has been hectic, to say the least! In the process, I lost my camera cord so I won't be able to upload many pictures for a while, until I get around to buying a new one. It is on my very long list of things to do! Fayed has been doing great though everything; he is growing in so many ways! He can walk a step or two now, he can do "so big," clap his hands, pat me on the back, babbles a lot more, pushes around his hippo walker, climbs the stairs, and seems to know what we are talking about. His favorite things are things that he, of course, can't play with - tools (especially screwdrivers), cell phones, car keys, blow dryer, etc. He Loves to eat crackers, sometimes we have to use them in the car to calm him down, and he has just started to stick out his tongue and spit things out that he doesn't like. Fayed's been seeing a lot more of his grandma and aunties as they've been around to help out with the house every weekend, and I think he is finally getting over some of his shyness. He still won't let me out of his sight and I'm the only one that can really comfort him though. It is starting to get cold outside so we are staying in the house most of the time and he is a bundle of energy!
