Del, hanging out on the couch with his current favorite person.

Del loves his technology, especially playing Giggles Baby Funtime on his MacBook (Dianne’s hand-me-down).

Even as much fun as he was having playing with his new set of crayons, Del stills manages to notice as soon as a camera is pointed his way.

We’re not sure how he actually manages to bathe amongst all of that stuff, but somehow he comes out clean.

Winter has arrived here in Seattle (a good week or so early) and brought with it freezing temperatures and our first inch and a half of snowfall this past weekend. This was also the first opportunity for Del to experience snow (we had one afternoon of snow last winter, but he was very little and just watched the snowfall with us through the window).

On first exposure, Del didn’t seem that particularly interested in it. He stomped around a bit, grabbed a handful or two, then was ready to go back inside after about five minutes. It actually took us longer to dress and undress him in his down coat and winter hat than he spent outside.

You’d think he would be in a bit better mood after a nice, pre-Thanksgiving nap. Apparently not…

We’ve been meaning to get some of the great pictures posted from our recent trip with Del’s Grandma and Grandpa to Golden Garden in Seattle, during their October visit. Del had a blast playing on the beach and exploring the sand.

We’ve been woefully behind here in recent weeks adding new posts to BabyDelton.com, but we figured we celebrate Thanksgiving by finally getting some Halloween photos posted! Better late than never, I say.

We took Del down to his Oma and Opa’s place in Lakewood, since they live in a quiet neighborhood that’s got a fair number of folks that answer the door on Halloween. Del seemed a bit perplexed by the whole trick or treating experience, especially early on as he tried to walk into everyone’s houses (maybe he thought we were on a Street of Dreams tour instead of collecting candy?).

He did manage to get completely spooked by one house that featured a bunch of animatronic ghosts and spooky sounds. Strangely though, a couple houses later we came across a crazy-looking guy dressed as Jason (from the Friday the 13th films) and a Sarah Palin at one house, neither of which seemed to scare him in the least. Go figure.

Overall, he seemed to survive the experience unscathed and even seemed to settle into the lobster suit after a while (he had a MUCH better reaction wearing it the second time, on Halloween, than when we tried it on him a couple days earlier).

Basically, if anything currently looks “broken”, fear not, it’ll be fixed soon.

Thanks,

The Management

Del’s trying to make the most out of the remaining dry, warm days of fall, including getting in some quality playtime on his new swingset, a birthday present that’s just been set up at his Oma and Opa’s house down in Lakewood. We’ve got some more pics below…
