First, we are going to talk about the pumpkin patch. This was one of the most epic family adventures yet, and this picture perfectly captures Bruce's feelings about the whole thing. I still don't know what his feelings were but that is what they looked like.
He was a good sport about it though and let us have our parental shenanigans.
Next, let's talk about Bruce's growing brotherly skills!! Along with our morning routine, Bruce likes to play with his sister.
However, since he himself is not a 7 month old, he expects she likes what 2yr olds like. Such as, very large toys. 
He lovingly surrounds her with all his favorites.. And then... 
He sweetly watches through the cracks to see how much fun she is having with them. (Although what she really is doing is trying not to bonk her head or feel overwhelmed by being trapped in his toy circle)
Now we move to the messy parts of Bruce's October. Learning about opening bottles and then following the example of his main lady (mommy) in the art of painting nails. All while mommy was taking a nap and daddy didn't know the bathroom door was open.
Curiosity and learning and skill building did not end here!! Nope!
There is no better time to primp than when your parents are busy on the side of the road trying to convince a scary snapping turtle to go back into the bushes and off the road on the way home from church.
So naturally, it was time to find some age and gender appropriate eyewear.
Nana always has cool things around for her Brucey Boy.
We aren't forgetting about the best part. Bruce loves his birthday parties every year.
This year he especially knew the celebrations were for him and he was on cloud 9.. Which brings us to this picture:
Who wants to go to bed on time when you just started the party?? Yeah, me either. Sometimes ya gotta walk it off.
Trick or treating was a confusing experience for sure.. He wanted to either give the candy he just got to the next house we came to or he wanted to stop and eat every piece in between houses.
To top it all off as being a wonderful month in Bruce's eyes, Pop Came to visit while on a business trip and MADE BRUCE'S DAY. 
When Bruce's Pop had to leave, Bruce gave a heart wrenching struggle to keep him here. He wrapped his arms around Keith's shoulders and didn't agree that letting go was any sort of option. I can still hear him crying on the porch saying "POP!!! POP!!!!!!!". Well at least someone knows Bruce thinks they are special ;)
Lastly, Amelia has become the perfect snuggle friend for a kid who doesn't want to feel like he is the only one going to bed. We stick her next to him in his crib for family lulaby songs and prayers to give the illusion of one family bed time:)
