Puppy Hat

With the fall season upon us, it is now time to break out the warm clothing! Grandma sent us this puppy hat to keep James' head nice and warm. I think he looks adorable, especially when paired with his puppy pajamas. Thanks Grandma!

Love that Elephant

Sleep wonderful sleep

Guess who slept for 10 hours last night......ME!!!! All I have to say is that I am a new woman! James slept for a record 12.5 hours last night without any feedings. John did get up twice to check on him. The first time James had flipped onto his back and needed help flipping back to his tummy. The other time he needed a little help falling back to sleep, so John rocked him for a couple of minutes. I have no idea if this was a fluke or if he will continue to sleep for such a long stretch. Let's hope that my sleepless nights are a thing of the past.

Apple-iscous

Today we went apple picking with some of our favorite friends. This has become an annual event, and so far in our four years in Virginia we have only missed once. First we meet at roadside diner for some apple donuts and breakfast. After sleeping for the hour long car ride, Jay awoke once we reached the restaurant. This restaurant was not Jay's favorite place, he got a little fussy around the food but did enjoy walking around the gift shop. I think he really wanted to get his hands on one of those donuts! Yum!

Next stop was the apple farm. We drove up, loaded our apple picking pole into the car, and then went to park closer to the trees. The picking pole was placed sticking out the window making it look like we were ready for a jousting match.

Jay loved walking around the orchard and especially liked the beautiful Katie! We picked lots of grannysmith, golden delicious and stayman apples. We also got to check out some cows along the way. Two very wise cows stood right along the fence hoping to get some apples thrown their way.

Armed with a large bag full of apples we headed home with our sleeping baby. Now we are faced with the challenge to use all these apples before they go bad. Apple pie anyone?

Are they moles or bugs?

Here is one more post today for good measure. For some reason I just can't post only once. Maybe I am trying to make up for all the time I slacked of the last couple of weeks. Either way, here is video number two for you to enjoy.

This toy is called "Whack a Mole" or at least that is what the lady at the yard sale said. I think it looks more like bed bugs. What do you think?

Walking Around

Jay is starting to enjoy his walker. Right now the front room is empty, so it is the perfect place for him to practice scooting around. Sometimes he laughs and sometimes he cries. If I can catch his laugh on video I will post it. I think it is my favorite sound in the whole wide world!

So yesterday I was trying out a new floor vacuum that my mother sent us. Jay really wanted to be held, and I really wanted to get the floors a little cleaner. Those who know me know that I don't enjoy cleaning floors. But with my baby boy growing so fast I think I need to learn to love cleaning floors before he starts to crawl and becomes covered in dog hair. Thanks Zion! So I threw him into my metro wrap and away we went vacuuming the house. I think he rather liked it because he kept giggling and kicking his feet. The giggling was super
cute, but the swinging feet hit me in the stomach. Not so fun. All in all, the floors are cleaner and that is a very good thing!

Lucky you...

...two posts in one day! James was so cute playing I had to snap some pictures. Even Zion smiled for the camera today.

Happy Monday!

A chair for Jay

Jay has a highchair! See the pictures below of my big boy. Everyday I feel like he is growing up so fast! He is no longer happy in the bouncy-seats or the bumbo...because he has chubby legs and he likes to sit up and see the world rather then recline.

This past week John surprised us by taking us out to dinner. Jay wasn't in the mood to be held so we grabbed a highchair just to try. He loved it! We put his toys on the tray and he played happily through dinner. It was the first time we have had dinner with James that we both could eat at the same time!
