GOOD OL' ROCKY TOP!

Rocky Top Tennessee :)  Unofficial family reunion!  Honey (Hannah's grandma) headed up a trip to Pigeon Forge, TN the last weekend in October...aka - prime time for autumn in the mountains.  It was BEAUTIFUL!  Every shade of red, yellow, and orange your color palette can conjure!  And to compliment God's natural beauty, a cabin strategically perched to bask in the landscape...four stories of balconies overlooking the mountains...one enormous window stretching from roof to basement, allowing you to soak in the color from every room of the cabin (although our favorite view was from the hot tub :) )

October 31st was also Judah's first Halloween!!!  And what costume better befits our son than to be...the LION of JUDAH!

The following pictures, while overwhelmingly numerous, are a serious downgrade from the original number of photos taken during our trip.  And with the upcoming opportunities to document the holidays, it's necessary to upload all pictures to a single post :)  Please enjoy!

Gerber is having a monthly contest to pick America's cutest babies :)  We are understandably biased, and not denying that we have several friends with ADORABLE little ones...however, October entries are closed - so please enter your precious baby for the November contest, and follow http://www.gerber.com/photo/?entryid=155891&%2F#/detail/ to VOTE for JUDAH :) 























You can place one vote, per email address, per computer, per day.  So, please...vote early :)  Vote OFTEN!

(sort of) SOLIDS!

We're movin' on up!  Judah has graduated to baby foods...generally just once a day for dinner, topped off with milk.  He has devoured every taste!  Only one jar hasn't made the cut - turkey and gravy.  But who can enjoy pureed meat?  Here are a few pics from his first taste of solids :)
