Abby is a walker!

Right before bedtime on January 10th, Abby was so motivated to show Daddy her egg in a cup that she started walking to him! We got her to repeat this a few times. She hasn't fully converted to walking yet, in fact she has done any independent walking since then. We suspect she will be ready to take off soon, though! She LOVES loves loves loves to walk holding on to your hands - to the point where she cries and gets angry when you let go.

Knock knock. Come in. or Open door.

Trick or Treat. Candy! Thank you.

Happy Halloween.

Two? Carefully selected his candy.. sometimes taking quite a long time browsing.

More candy!

All done. Go home.

Started out a little shy. Then bravely walked up to door by himself and knock. Then immediately went for candy.

Used his new pumpkin flashlight from Grandma Z.

Even tried to use door bell after he had knocked on the door.

People would say, 'Hi Thomas!'.

We saw lots of other kids, which Ben loved.

Lots of choo choo trains:

Grandma Z - Storybook, Patchwork Hiro

Grandma Patty and Grandpa Dale - Toby (Early Engineer type), Wobbly troublesome truck

Grandpa Z - Ghost with pumpkin stuffed toy, tin with popcorn treats (tin is now the ghost's 'home')

Us - Thomas, Rosie, and James bath squirt toys and Victor. Benjamin went immediately to find Kevin to join Victor, just like they are always together on the TV show!
