Happy Fall!

This time each year I’m convinced that fall is my favorite season… and then spring comes and then I’m convinced that it’s my favorite season. But, now I really know that FALL is my favorite. :) Maybe it was just the all-around crummy weathered summer that made me extra anxious for Fall? But whatever it was I’m glad it’s here! I love the football, the cooler weather, the leaves changing, open windows, and breezy days. I love the pumpkins, the harvest moons, the corn mazes (yes I live in Indiana), the honey crisp apples, and the cider & donuts. I love it all!

Today is a high of 64 degrees!!! So I bundled Asher up (seriously, it was a bit much) and we went for a walk with Daisy. In my defense of the long sleeve onesie, fleece hoodie, and smart wool hat it was SUPER windy and he is fighting a cold… and I’m a newbie. But I did take off his hat half-way through the walk.

This was the best picture-taking I could do while still holding the leash of a very excited dog who had just heard the magical word, “walk”! :)

In other news…

Our little boy is getting SO big! We are all set to start cereal one of these days! The high chair has been assembled…

but for right now we’re just letting Asher get used to sitting in it while we eat dinner. We got him one of those toys that suctions to the high chair tray and he loves to play with it. There will be lots of pictures when we actually begin cereal so check back soon!! :)

I love this picture because it kind of captures a paci-smile. You know, when they are smiling behind their pacifier? :) I think it’s the cutest when Asher does that.

Daisy continues to be a very sweet dog to her little buddy. She would cover him with kisses if we would let her.

No teeth yet… but I think they must be coming with the way this little guy is drooling and chewing on EVERYTHING. He has chew toys (lots of them) the kind that can be refrigerated, the kind that vibrate, the kind that do magic tricks (okay not really), but his preferred chewing toy is this one. It is the perfect size for his little hands to grip and he loves to chew on/suck on the little loops.

Finally, I’ll leave you with a few comparison shots. I think my little boy’s bouncy seat days are numbered. He really only sits in it now if I’m trying to finish getting ready in the morning. Where did that little baby go?! :)
