Boyd is crawling the "typical way now (less like a pouncing cat). He doesn't seem to understand that he can use it as a means of transportation, rather than giving mom a weight workout, but he does know how to crawl to acquire desired objects.
Here he displays his talent of clearing half the shelf of toys. He loves his little book and has figured out that it is really fun to flip flop back and forth to produce sound too.
So proud to be pulling up. I love Boyd's attire or lack there of- silly guy.

Spooky!

Boyd smiled and waved at Red Robin, proving that dad has made Boyd unafraid of everything.
First family photo in a long time- Boyd why didn't you look at the camera?
We thought Grandma Ramsey would like the flowers; it reminded us of her wild garden.
One of Boyd's many expressions. He was taking in all the new sights.

Daddy with his big Boyd!
Boyd had a wonderful first Halloween. He started the day waking up at Aunt Emily's, then headed to the Big 12 Cross Country meet where he was in awe of the crowds, cruised around in the jogger, and shook things up in the bjorn (He does need to learn to tolerate cheering being part Ramsey and all). A nap on the drive home was followed by helping the neighbors pack down the leaves in their trailer. Boyd was in his element jumping on them to smush them down. The "Baby's first Halloween" hat which almost made me cry since he hardly seems like a baby anymore was a special gift from them. Later Gramps and Grandma Burla, Great Grandma Burla, and Great Uncle John came over for tricks and treats. Adam and I carved our pumpkins. A bath and costume change was up next. Boyd made several stops. The night ended with pictures with the Jack-o-lanterns and mom and dad and a struggle to go to bed. What a day!
