I'm writing today with no real rhyme or reason. I haven't written in over a week so I thought I had better just sit down and do it. You are five months old today, Caelan. You have exploded into all kinds of new awareness... discovering that your feet belong to you, discovering that your hands can work together. You are able to sit up with almost no assistance and are capable of manipulation. Yes, you have your mama wrapped around your tiny fingers and you know it. :) You cry the moment I leave a room, and smile the instant that I re-enter. You cough a fake cough just to see my reaction and then smile ear to ear when you see that it got my attention. You are holding onto toys and putting everything and anything in that achy mouth of yours. You can roll over from your tummy to your back and are working hard to flip the other way as well. The world is yours.
Yesterday was Halloween and nothing eventful happend- thank God. We had quite a few Trick-or-Treaters and gave out several pounds of candy. There weren't any particularly clever costumes worth mentioning. I can't wait until you are old enough to dress up and go out. I'd like to challenge myself here and now to hand craft all of your future costumes... somebody remind me of this in a few years when I'll likely try to scramble off to Target on October 30th instead.
I suppose I'll sign off for now. You are sleeping in my left arm right now and skilled as I am at typing one-handed, I'd rather rest and enjoy this moment of silence.
Until next time...

There's always the 'wrap him in aluminum foil' alternative for the spur of the moment 'space man' costume. One of the funniest costumes we saw this year was a kid dressed completely in a flat black 'body stocking' type of costume - His entire real person, from head to toe, completely blended in with the darkness. Then somehow he made a glow-in-the-dark "stick Man" on the front of him... you know ... a plain circle over his face for a head... a single line for each arm and leg and that was it! It was hilarious when you saw him coming from far away. At one point he came running toward Nana, Dan, Malena and I from a distance and it was HILARIOUS!
