Happy Halloween!

M-I-Z... Z-O-U!

This weekend is MU's homecoming, and we went for some engineering festivities. It was Truman's first trip to Columbia, and it was fun to watch David showing him around. Will Truman go to Mizzou for college?? Oooh... you'll just have to stay tuned!

Seriously? We have to leave the house early in the morning? I'm sleepy.

It's raining outside, so they've got me all covered up!



This is how I decided to introduce myself to Apba's friends and professors. Yum.

Let's go on a tour of the campus.

Hmm... yes... campus.

Apba! Do you see this stuff?!

SO cool!!


Can you believe all this?

It's raining, it's pouring.

It's fun to see where Apba went to school.



I'm flying at the columns!

This has been pretty fun, Apba.


Oh, Umma... what a nice day it turned out to be!

Play Time!

I think I'll get down and play with some paper from Apba's birthday.

See? Paper!

Here I am up close.

Hehehehe. Silly.


Hmmm. Now what?


This is how I hold my breath when Momma wants me to eat and I don't want to.

Oh, I'm a funny one!

But not that funny.

Happy Birthday, Apba!

Truman helped David celebrate his birthday today. Happy, happy birthday!!!

Check me out. I'm pushing my high chair around the room.

I'll just take a break from playing to help Umma with the dishes.


Excuse me... I have an announcement...

Did you hear it's my Apba's birthday?

I'll just help him relax.

Let's blow out the candles, Apba. Happy birthday!

Family Visit

Today, Truman spent time playing with grandparents and aunts who came to visit in honor of David's upcoming birthday. He had a great time... so good that he got completely worn out!

Thanks for feeding me, Harabuji!

So cute and funny!



Auntie Anne has me!

Cherrios time!

I love entertaining my aunties!

I've had all the fun I can handle. I've gotta nap. Thanks for the visit!

The Bearded Man

Look, I have a beard!

Apba says I look like Homer Simpson.

Pretty funny, huh?

I think it's funny.

Dress Rehearsal

Truman has figured out how to turn on his mobile in his crib by himself. Sometimes, that's how we know he's awake... the mobile music starts out of nowhere. I guess he decides he'll entertain himself until we get him out of bed. Today, he got his second flu shot of the year, so he's all done with that. That being said, it's time for our household to go back into hibernation for the winter. This may well be the last one in which we have to do that, though! And, in seasonal news, in preparation for Halloween, we had a dress rehearsal today. Enjoy!

Grrr. I'm on the move.

I'm really good at turning off the computer when people are least expecting it.


Tigers eat shoes, right?

Well, hello tiger trick-or-treat basket!

I'm not so sure about this, so I'll handle it very carefully.

Tigers like to be tickled!

See you again on Halloween!

Rehearsal is over. Let's get down to business.

Well, hello there.

What?? It's time for bed?? Says who?

Laundry Helper

Truman was a big help with the laundry today... in so many ways.

Just doing some pull ups. I have hard work ahead of me.

Momma was washing some clothes, so I thought I'd help her.

So, this is where some of my clothes live, huh?

Alright, I'm going back in to get a real insider's look. See you later.

I wonder if I can get under my bed from here.
