Justin's First Halloween

On Justin's first Halloween we were in Ohio visiting Justin's Uncle Ron, Aunt Ann, and cousins Scott and Missy. Missy got to take Justin around the cul-de-sac to trick or treat while Mom followed with the camera. :) Justin wasn't really sure what to make of it. He didn't dislike it, but he thought it was a bit odd. He found the other children pretty interesting. Probably his favorite part was pulling things out of the bucket after trick or treating. Poor kid didn't even get to eat very much of his candy. He did get to taste his first M&Ms and he is a big fan. Should I be surprised that my baby likes chocolate?
Justin had a good time in Ohio. He had the whole household trained to revolve around him. During our visit there he also:
-learned to crawl up the stairs
-tried going down stairs (saved from falls by multiple people)
-went to see his first marching bands
-discovered he likes banana yogurt (Mom doesn't so he might not have made that discovery for awhile)
-start clapping spontaneously and for games (like patty cake)
Justin and I met up with Rob in DC before heading out to Ohio. Poor Justin hadn't seen his dad (except over the computer) for about a month. When we landed at the airport, I started walking towards Rob. You should have seen Justin's face when he realized he was seeing his dad again. He was so excited. I bet the wheels were turning in that little head of his. What a coincidence that we would run into Daddy!
