Me in my Green Man costume Mommy made me for trick or treating!

We had so much fun on Samhain. We went trick or treating with Shannon and her daughter Rachelle (who was Hannah Montana.) Mommy made me a Green Man costume. It was really fun to yank on the felt leaves she stuck all over my shirt.

On Saturday we had a bunch of people over for a feast (I tried some carrots for the first time and spit them EVERYWHERE! Ewww, I don’t want solid food yet.) We set a plate of food for the ancestors on the altar. I love crawling across the floor to the altar and trying to pull the cloth off of it.

Oh ya, I am CRAWLING now. I can get across the living room in about 6 minutes, sooo fun but exhausting. I want boob twice as much now that I am burning the baby calories.

On Sunday we made a dreamboard with Mommy and Daddy’s goals and dreams for the next year. I tried to grab the pictures to help place them but Mommy wouldn’t let me, something about me slobbering all over them. Oh well!

Today my Goddessmother is coming over to take care of me while Mommy is in the dentist. I’m excited about seeing her. Mommy doesn’t seem so thrilled about the dentist though.

I bought Damian a rubber duck in a pumpkin the other day, momentarily breaking my ban on foreign toys. I couldn’t resist, it was in an orange pumpkin, I love orange. They also had one with a purple witch hat, but I managed to restrain myself (for now.) I realized this morning that I might be developing an unnatural obsession with the thing, since I play with it more then my child and I took photos of it this morning for my photoblog. I have half a mind to start collecting them. Damian also has two green one from his baby shower.

And I can say that they are Damian’s, thus getting away with it (unless anyone who reads this comes to visit…)

Anyhow, beyond rubber ducks, all is going well in the Stewart household. Autumn is coming to a close. I saw snowflakes the other day and the nights are regularly dropping below 32F. Samhain is only a week away and I still need to finish Damian’s costume (we are going trick or treating with friends) as well as my first podcast. Michael is doing really awesome things with the podcast site. I recorded it already but he has to do computer stuff with it still. I love having my own geek.

Beyond these things I have been spending most of my spare time (haha) studying the Celtic tree language, Ogham. It’s history is really interesting. I have also been working on some pages for my Book of Shadows. I am thinking about scanning some of them so that I can make them available for download, or prints of the more artistic ones for sale. We’ll see.

Damian is teething. None of them have broken through yet and I have resorted to prayer at this point. I have tried everything short of amber beads (mostly for cost reasons) when it gets really bad. Getting in the warm bath with him works most of the time. I know this will pass and I try to tell myself that he can’t help himself since it hurts, but honestly it drives me a little nuts sometimes. Poor guy, I wonder if he knew his mommy was crazy! One of my aunts has twin girls, I can only imagine what it must have been like if they were teething at the same time.

Beyond teething pain, Damian is wonderful though. He loves laughing and smiling. He is a huge flirt too, he smiles at anyone and everyone. I think he is going to love trick or treating.

My great grandma and grandma Mason sent this for me. It is sooo soft, I love it.

I am chewing and slobbering on everything lately. Dr Kincaid says I am very close to having my first teeth breaking through. I love my teething ring but much prefer the wooden spoons mommy uses in the kitchen. I know I have been a little cranky lately. I think chewing on mommy while I eat makes her a little cranky too, but she is very understanding. I am working on not doing that so much.

Mommy is making me a Green Man costume for Halloween. Hopefully we will be able to get Andrea to take photos of me in it, I love seeing her and her boyfriend Peter. An opportunity to make more people fall in love with me!
