Daddy's boy

Alexander and his dad are good pals.  Alexander loves to cuddle with Daddy when he is sleepy after church.

And watching Daddy play the guitar is pretty much the coolest ever.

Though brushing teeth is pretty awesome lately, too.

Daddy's cell phone is a favorite toy; attempts on its electronic life are made regularly, if Alexander has anything to say about it.  A cell phone is definitely worth lunging for - especially if Daddy is there to keep the lunge from becoming a faceplant :)

The cutest sight to see, though, is Alexander reading with Daddy.  We read a book with Alexander every night before bed, and he just loves books.  Lately he also likes to look at them on his own.

Or a read-a-thon is fun :)

Last night took the cake - while Daddy was reading his bedtime book, Alexander (who until now quietly inspects or hits the pages) decided to help him read.  So cute!

And then this morning Alexander wanted to keep reading to himself.  He learned from the best :)

Halloween!

This year, we were cows.  A (small) herd of cows.  It was awesome :)

Alexander's costume was from the store...but he made it definitely the cutest cow costume ever sold!  I added the blue ribbon and bell, so that people at the party we attended on Saturday could tell that he is a boy.  He has such a cute face that sometimes people think is a girl, haha.

And the costume's tail just made it even more cute and funny :)

Morgan and I decided to be cows too, so some cut-out felt cows spots sewn onto our shirts did the trick.  And I sewed some spots onto one of Alexander's onesies for when the store costume got too hot for him.  Luckily, he was just as cute in that as the original costume. 

The pumpkin I carved became a cow, too.

Along with the cow cuteness, we got to eat chocolate pudding, peanut butter cookie, and Kit Kat parfaits.  Plus candy - can't forget that!  Overall, the year of the Halloween cow was pretty great :)
