So now the months seem to be flying and Jack is 7 months old, which means lots of babbling, playing, resisting……and Halloween
clothes. I told Travis once we had kids
that I was allowed to back date all my oppressed holiday decorating and
obsessing and go full blown, and I can’t wait!
Even though it’s still September, I couldn't resist sticking him in
little pumpkin socks for this week’s photo:

Favorite
Words: Does
screaming count…?
Favorite
Activities: Playing in the sink, swimming in the hot tub, going in the front pack
around town
Signature
Moves: Constantly blowing raspberries, rolling
on his stomach in his stroller on our evening walks and slapping anything with his palm
Likes: Frozen chew toys, necklaces that I wear, balls,
listening & watching other little kids, anything that flashes or makes
noise
Dislikes: Coughing, getting his nose wiped, Monday
mornings at the daycare
Mommy
Likes & Dislikes: The
train at the park- kept him entertained and gave me a 15-minute mental
break Dislikes: The train ending so
quickly and sick babies : (
Sleeps: 8pm-6:30am, sometimes waking up and playing
around 5am for a half hour or so. Two
big naps a day and a powernap in the afternoon
Changes
in Mood/Behavior: Since he’s been teething, he loooooVVVVVvvvves to be carried non-stop,
however when he’s ready for a nap he goes into his crib with no
objections! He’s also been eating his
mushy foods at dinner like a champ, butternut squash is the current fave.
Eating 8 ounces 5x a day, one solids (or mushy) meal at
dinner
Clothes: 9 Months!!
Looking
forward to: Halloween with the baby!! I’ve
been looking forward to reliving my childhood vicariously through a kid since I
was no longer allowed to trick or treat….
....this past month in pictures.....
We’ve had a super busy month, which included lots of
activities naturally to entertain the babe- it’s also the beginning of football
season!!! I’m beginning to think now
that I have a kid and I can’t lay out in the sun and relax for 4 hours while
sipping on a pina colada that Fall might be my favorite season?? Finally the temperature has cooled down
(like, high 80’s but still) and nothing gets me in the mood to bake more than
some serious cool nights and Sunday football:
The first day of Fall also means that our next batch of Longshadow wine is ready, so another trip out to Temecula to the vineyard to visit the place where it all began...
Jackson’s been sick with a head cold recently so lucky
for him we’ve had a few “Mommy and Me” days that he’s been too sick for the
daycare, but clearly a ball pit can fix anything:
Rolling onto his stomach on our walks in the Orbit:
A few more pics of just hanging out at home in our Fall apparel (even though it's been 90 degrees, I can pretend at least!)
Next up, Halloween!
It’s taking a LOT of willpower not to hang my DIY Halloween banner
early.
