Halloween and More

Bennett has been looking fatter and older lately--maybe those two things go together somehow. He's getting more and more interactive all the time and continuing to show his personality. In certain moods, he particularly enjoys making noise for the sake of making noise, which proves to be a little bit inconvenient when those certain moods occur during church. But overall it's a lot of fun to watch him learn new things every day. Recent discoveries include the flavor of his feet (he's pretty flexible) and the fact that he has a tongue (lately there have been several unsolicited tongue sightings every day).

Here are the long-awaited Halloween chicken costume pictures:




This next one is one of our favorite Bennett facial expressions.




And here is Bennett working his magic with the ladies. This is his friend Lucy, who is the daughter of our friends Brian and Emily. They live in our building, and I work with Brian as well.

Notice the right arm creeping around her....
She reciprocates by moving towards him....
....and that's how it's done. Bennett does look a little nervous about it, though.

Finally, we were surprised to discover that Bennett the Chicken found it hilarious when Dad cleared his throat. In fact, he thought it was so funny for so long that we caught a bunch of it on camera:
