Vikas started off October with a visit with his Grandma and Grandpa Paidipalli. He had a great time! He still loves to color with his crayons, draw with chalk outside, and kick his soccer ball around in the park.
Unfortunately, the weather has not been the best the last couple of months but Vikas does not seem to mind too much. Two of his new favorite things to do are to play with playdough and play with legos when he has to play inside. He had a great time at the Fall Festival at his school as well as the Halloween parade at school. Watching a bunch of toddlers in costume go from room to room trick or treating is just precious!
Vikas dressed up as a little devil for Halloween, which his parents thought was highly appropriate! He is living up to his costume. The terrible two's have hit us and hit us hard! Unfortunately, one of his favorite expressions these days is "No, Go Away."
Vikas had a wonderful time trick or treating despite the cold, rainy weather. His Uncle Vinod, Aunt Melanie, and Spenser came to trick or treat with him. We then kept up our yearly tradition of going to the King's house for their Halloween get-to-together. Vikas has been there the last 3 years in a row......red hot chilli pepper, monkey, and this year as a devil.
Vikas has definitely discovered candy this Halloween, and he loves it! So much so, that we now have to hide it. The day after Halloween he saw his trick or treating pumkin filled with candy in the kitchen and demanded to have chocolate for breakfast!
Vikas' new buddy is his babysitter Catherine's little dog Rambo. He loves to chase Rambo around the house and play with Catherine, which makes it much easier to leave the house these days. Sometimes, we are not even sure he realizes that we have left.
We found out that Baby Reddy #2 is a girl! She is due at the end of March. We have not quite figured out if Vikas understands that there is a baby in his Mommy's tummy or not. He points at his Mommy's tummy and says baby, but sometimes he points at his own tummy and says baby. He will learn soon enough that he might have to share some of his parents' attention with his baby sister.
