Who Needs Toys When You've Got Shoes

Kallen's new favorite toys are not toys at all, but our shoes! He loves them, especially his Mommy's. He will crawl over to our front door and hang out there playing with our shoes all day long. He loves to untie them and then drag them from room to room. It's awfully cute to see this little guy crawling around with a big shoe following behind him. So silly. But hey, it makes him happy.

Now he has also started something new with them. He has discovered he can untie my shoes while I'm wearing them. Today when I put my tennis shoes on, he came over and kept untying my shoelaces, right after I'd tie them. So I'd tie one up and move onto the other one. By the time I was done with that one, I'd have to retie my other shoe again because Kallen untied it. So silly. It's also hard to put any kind of shoes with laces on him because he does the same thing and unties them right away. What a funny squirt.

He's Walking!

Little Kallen took his first few steps about a month ago on Oct. 16th. He is a very cautious little guy, so he didn't really like walking very much, however we were so excited to have him walk so we kept trying to get him to do it over and over again. He quickly learned that he liked crawling much better than walking, and every time we'd try to stand him up to walk to us, he'd just crumble into a little ball and wouldn't stand. It was actually pretty funny.

This is a picture of the day he took his first steps. He was pretty proud of himself.

Now its a month later and Kallen has gotten much more confident. Look how well he walks! We are so proud of the little guy. He still prefers crawling, but I bet it won't be long till this little guy will be walking and running all over the place.

Halloween

Since we didn't think Kallen would understand Trick-or-Treating, we decided not to go. However, we did get him dressed up in a cute Giraffe costume that one of our friends loaned to us. Isn't he cute? He couldn't stop smiling while he was dressed up. He must have really liked it. It will be fun to take him around next year when he understands it a little more.

Another thing that was pretty funny about Halloween, was Kallen's excitement whenever trick-or-treaters came to our home. Every time he heard the doorbell, he would get all excited and rush to the door as fast as he could. He even helped Daddy pass out treats to everyone. Of course, all our visitors thought he was pretty cute, I can't blame them, I think he is too.
