Winter Came Faster Than a Speeding Chocobo

When we moved to the East Coast, we knew would would experience our first real winter, but snow in October? October? Playoffs? Really, October?

This was our backyard in the morning

This was our backyard just hours later

Being snowfall rookies, we bundled Tiger up and took him to story time at Barnes & Noble. Dressed up in his little tiger outfit, he had no problems with the snow.

Wait mama, so I’m a tiger, wearing a Tigger outfit under another Tiger costume? I’m confused…

Video: Practice Makes Perfect

Tiger’s finally starting to get the hang of walking (with his walker toy), which we love, but needless to say, this is a scary thought for us. He’s definitely had his fair share of falling down and getting back up and has come a long way from just one month ago (see videos #2 and #3 and try not to laugh feel sorry for him).

And now, the hardships of learning how to walk…

More hardships from the same day…

We Plan to Holla Back to Turtle Back

What better way is there than to spend a semi-breezy, sunny day in New Jersey than at a zoo? Not only was the zoo affordable by theme-park standards, but they gave away free pumpkins to kids today, so you can’t beat that. Too add to our great fortune, the 49ers had a great victory today against the undefeated Lions (yes, I had to add that in there).

We’re going to the zoo? Wahoo!…wait, what’s the zoo?

My butt itches and I’m surrounded by giant oranges, can someone pick me up?

What kinda zoo has pigs? Are you sure we’re not at the County Fair again?

I need one of these at home to play with!

Dada, he walks funny.

Hmm, what am I suppose to do with this thing?

You guys are holding onto me like this giant orange is going to move…I’m fine, I’m a big boy now.

Time To Get the Sweaters Out

Winter is definitely here, so it’s time for Tiger to start dressing a lot warmer at night. So far it hasn’t dipped lower than 55 degrees, but it’s coming. We generally don’t take Tiger out too much at night, but this was a special occasion..and it gave us an excuse to let him wear his spiffy, Mr. Roger’s sweater.

Duck, Duck, Donkey?

Another weekend, another fall festival to attend. The one good thing about NJ seems to be that there’s never a shortage of fairs and festivals to attend. Because of the sheer number of small townships around here, it seems that every weekend there’s something going on in one or more of the areas around here.

I wonder what Tiger is thinking here? When Tiger observes things, he always seems like he’s analyzing something. Maybe he’s just being cautious, or maybe he’s just taking everything in…either or, this is still one of my favorite shots of him.
