Met my sweet little nephew, Hunter, for the first time at Thanksgiving.
It appears he has inherited my brother's talent for being able to delight my dad like no one else. On his grandpa's birthday, on the playmat grandpa bought him, and on grandpa's command, he actually rolled over for the first time.
Check out how he sticks the landing:

Ah, the magic of Halloween
My friend Deborah does a statistic evaluation of her Halloween every year that always makes me smile. Her girls look adorable which is fun to see, but honestly the count of candy dispensed always shocks me, and I love the inevitable stories of looney parents.
This year I was in Denver for Halloween and the man was hiding from children with the lights out in the house on his own in Chicago so we didn't get to enjoy handing out candy. We did go to some costume parties though. Real adult costume parties. Which made me realize Deborah's stats are always missing something. She's never mentioned the rather uncomfortable trend of increasingly inappropriate costumes for adults! So here's my contribution to her stats, based on what I witnessed both at parties in Chicago over the weekend and in the bars here in LODO this year...
3: men with "Dick in a Box" costumes. (Yes, the boxes had something inside)
1: Michael Vick, complete with his petite wife in a dog costume and a noose.
1: Full scale Marie Atoinette. Which was cool except, ehem, "the mademoiselles" kept popping out.
1: Guy in an video arcade outfit, with the joystick right there.
4: Britney Spears (all versions, including one with a K-Fed)
1: Paris Hilton
1: Nicole Ritchie (pregnant version)
1: Lindsay Lohan (super orange tan)
(BTW - the last three were out together, which was hilarious.)
Too many to count: "naughty".... cops, nurses, devil girls, angel girls, Dorthys. It seemed to me they were at the bars mingling with young guys that all seemed to be dressed as "jeans and t-shirt" guys. Not sure what that's about.
Sigh.
Next year I look forward to being back in OP for Halloween, where all I have to do is worry about the suspiciously-older city kids who apparently dress as thugs and try to grab at the candy by the fistful.
