Our First Fall Day

We went to the farmer's market and then out to a local garden and came home with two pumpkins, two squash, a bag of tomatoes, two eggplants, a handful of peppers, a little melon, and a bag full of apples! Ev had fun - enjoy the pictures!

"This. Is a pumpkin!"
"Mama! You put a pumpkin on me!"
Singing about his pumpkin
Everett's first whole apple
Love these funny faces. He's such a hoot!
"Nom nom nom!"

Everett Playing in Pajamas

Here are some new pictures for you!
Everett loves his learning table, but sometimes, he's too strong for it (sideways, evidently)."Hmm...there must be something more interesting than toys around here..."
"Oh yeah! The computer cords! Here I come!"
"Almost there!""Ha ha, Mama! I made it!"Me? I have some swine cold. No, not swine flu, swine cold. I do not have a fever. It is just a terribly nasty head cold and I am ready for it to go away. Brian had it last week, Ev and I got it this weekend, and apparently I am the one to get hit the hardest. Blech. Anyway...enjoy the pictures!

Hmmm

Brian reminded me today that I haven't blogged in a while. I also haven't taken many pictures. But my mom took one!
Sorry, I'll try to be more exciting this week. Today, Ev, Benj and I all have colds, so we're just hanging out doing a lot of nothing.

Right now, Everett...

- adores playing peek-a-boo with anyone who will join him
- is really figuring out how to crawl instead of creep

- wears size 12 month clothing!
- 's favorite food groups are carbs and dairy
- generally is appreciative when we lay him down for sleeping
- doesn't much care for puppy kisses, but loves chasing cats
- has a little redness on his face, but the rash/eczema is much better
- will look at me and shake his head when I give him a stern, "no" or "Everett!"
- uses every opportunity available to try and get his hands in the cat water
- loves tub time
- giggles when you brush his teeth
- makes funny clicking and clucking noises when he's focusing on something
- still loves ripping and eating paper
- dances to all music he hears
- needs a haircut
- is the sweetest, happiest baby in the whole wide world!

BundleEv

So I'm thinking about this fall/winter and how we like to be out and about (fall festivals, skiing, walks) and trying to figure out what to buy to keep the kiddo warm. You may remember that as an infant, we had the awesome Bundleme for his carseat (which was also part of the stroller)
Well, Chariot (the company that makes his stroller/skiier/bike trailer) has a bunting for $50 but it looks pretty thin.
JJ Cole (Bundleme company) makes toddler sizes Bundleme's that I can get on Amazon for $35. But what I really want (releasing Sept 16!) is this:The Arctic Bundle Me. We do kind of live in an arctic climate, so this would be awesome. Problem? It's $100. Since I didn't manage my Wish List Wednesday yesterday, this can stand in for all of the missed and upcoming Wednesdays for a while. What do you think? Should I scrimp and save for this puppy? Get the regular bundle? Buy the bunting made for the Chariot? Oh the dilemmas!

Catch up

We went camping in Copper Harbor this past weekend. Note to all: do not attempt camping with the wiggliest 9 month old on the planet. I got kicked in the face. A lot.

We were there for Brian to do this:While there, Everett decided he could do this:
And did so some more this evening with my newest garage sale find

Yummy

Yesterday, I was sitting on a chair in the living room and heard slurping in front of me. I looked down and saw this:apparently, anything that remotely resembles a cup must be full of tasty water....even if it's a Nalgene lid.

And continuing evidence of this corn addict:

SproutBaby Food Giveaway!

I tried this baby food while we were on vacation in Florida and it is amazingly tasty and healthy! Jennifer from the Foster Family blog is having a giveaway and I'm super excited to enter....because apparently the northwoods doesn't see the need to carry SproutBaby food anywhere. :(
If you haven't yet, check out her blog here.
