Johnny is now 5 months old! October was a busy month. We took Johnny to a Halloween festival in Chicago and made several trips home to visit grandparents (including Gma Rodeen's HUGE pumpkins!) and one for Mommy & Daddy to go tailgating : )
Pumpkin Fest in Chicago

Johnny was a tiger for his first Halloween. They had a party at school and looked like the kids all enjoyed themselves. We aren't sure what Johnny thought of his costume. He kept looking at Paul & I like "What are you staring at? What's so funny?!?"
The cold that I referred to in Johnny's 4 month post ended up lasting for over 6 weeks. That was definitely tough but we all made it through it and are expecting many more now over the winter. It's very nice to have a break from it, though! Johnny is belly laughing now when you make certain noises or when Daddy tickles his tummy. It's absolutley hilarious! He's started sitting in him bumbo seat and is loving sitting up on his own. He also loves to bang anything he can get his hands on. The slobbering is getting out of control....surely a tooth will pop through soon ; ) His smiles are still priceless and enough to melt your heart. It's hard to have a bad day with those big blue eyes looking at you!

He's also looking more & more like Paul every day. He is definitely a mini-me of his daddy!
