A few weeks ago my friend Ryan posted a video of her daughter in her Halloween costume. The video inspired me to get out Forest's Halloween costume. I purchased this costume over 2 years ago and have been so excited for the year when it would fit him. Its a little big as you can see from the video but it will do and with Forest's small size this costume will probably fit him for at least 3 Halloweens!

p.s. Sorry for the poor picture quality I was using my phone to record it.

Forest's Favorite Things

1. Forest Loves to make a mess - especially with his food.

2. Forest LOVES to be naked! It is a fight to put clothes on his little body!

3. Forest's favorite song is: Boom Boom Pow by the Black Eyed Peas. He will sing "boom boom boom!" all day!

4. Forest loves Bikes, especially motorcycles. Every time he sees a bike or motorcycle he runs up to it screaming "BIKE!!!" and then he will say "vroom vroom" while his hands are in the handle bar position.

5. Forest's favorite stuffed animal and best friend is Moe the Moose. Forest takes Moe everywhere and showers him with kisses and hugs all day. Forest will also talk to Moe, feed Moe, will tickle Moe's belly and will play peek-a-boo with him.

6. Last but not least Forest's Favorite person in all the world is his Daddy! Forest Loves his Daddy (and so do I)!

Why not to give Forest a piece of pizza at a park

If you give Forest a piece of Pizza at a park he will only take maybe one bite and then set it down on the bench without mommy's knowledge.

Mommy, not aware of the pizza, will shift a few times while sitting on the hard bench seat and will end up sitting on the pizza.

The stranger next to Mommy will point out that Mommy is sitting on the pizza, and Mommy will be embarrassed by the strangers look of disgust.

The rest of the time at the park Mommy now has to hold her hand over her behind because there is now an oil stain on her gray skirt.

Now Mommy can not wear that skirt ever again because the pizza grease stain did not come out in the wash and that is why you do not give Forest a piece of pizza at a park!

Forest the Brave

Do you see this kid below? He is one crazy swimmer!

He is NOT afraid to put his face in the water and blow bubbles!

He is NOT afraid to float is legs behind him while leaning on the steps.

He is NOT even afraid to stand on the second step in the pool!He is NOT afraid to float in the water.And he is NOT afraid to KICK KICK KICK and SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH!

This and That

The following pictures are over 2 months old, but deserve to be blogged about.

Forest has become quite the climber. He can easily get up onto his table, chairs, our dinning table, the coffee table, and one time somehow got out of his crib (we moved the crib down some and he has not attempted it since, I think he is still traumatized)

Forest has become a champ at puzzles. Although he does not put the colors on in the right order he can easily put the rings on the stand, and has become crazy fast at it.

Forest loves books, especially the book Tails by Matthew Van Fleet. Forest can turn all the pages to reveal the picture behind or he can slide the tabs out to move the tails of the animals. Forest will actually anticipate what's coming next and has his hand in the right place for the next challenge.

Anyways Forest is a smarty and that is that!

The Green Cast

Forest had his cast removed over a month ago but I never got around to blogging about it until now. So for those of you who did not get a chance to see Forest in his cast here is your opportunity.this picture was taken the day Forest got the cast. For the first few days the heavy cast just hung at his side.

Forest is such a model in this picture.

This picture was taken on one of the last days with the cast. If you clickity on the picture you will notice that the cast is signed all over but you don't have to clickity to notice that the cast is no longer a bright green :)

Good Luck

Tomorrow morning Bridger is taking his first section of the CPA. He has been studying non stop for the past couple weeks.

Send all your good luck vibes his way!

Wow, we really do look a lot alike!
