Fall is in the air...

 Life is good around here.  Baby is sleeping threw the night (although he doesn't always sleep very good during the day), and is very smiley and talkative!


I know that all I've been blogging about lately is Andrew... but he is pretty stinking cute, and grows every day!!!
Any who, there are other things going on around here!
The Mums are blooming!  I planted them in the GH bed 2 years ago, they came up again last year (because they are a Perennial) but didn't bloom.  So, last year my boss asked me to dig them out and throw them away.  I asked her if I could have them and plant them in my garden.  And this year they bloomed!!! Aren't they beautiful?


I've also picked alot of Tomatoes... and one really big Bell Pepper (thanks for the plant Pam!).  I'm going to take them up to my SIL's and we are going to make Salsa in the next week or so.

 I discovered the secret to fast blogging... uploading pictures from my phone!  They upload in 1/3 of the time!!!  But, that said... it is pathetic that a photographer like me isn't taking more pictures with her nice camera.  And I have to take like 10 with my phone before I get one I'm satisfied with.  But, there are still some cute ones... and some pictures are better than no pictures at all.  Right?

Here are some things we've been up to:

Smiling


Bumbo!  Won't sit in it for long yet, but loves it for a few minutes!!  He really likes to stand up too!


Tummy time on the bobby pillow is much more affective!


Trying on 3-6 months clothes... and they are fitting great!!!  
Little man is getting bigger...
 ...everytime I pick him up I feel him getting bigger!


I got a haircut! 
 It was time for the locks to go... Andrew couldn't figure out 
how to let go of the hair after he got hold of it!
BEFORE...
 ...AFTER!!!
 My dad said I look heavier after the cut.  I think he though I was talking about my weight when I showed him the pictures... and he didn't know these pictures were taken one day apart.  Oh well, I think I look more my age... :/


While Briant was doing his MBA visits (He went to North Carolina and Michigan), I did the 
chalkboards for Great Harvest.  
I'm so glad my boss let me come do them again, I really enjoy doing the boards and seeing the finished product after I'm all done!
Here are the 17th boards... I did the ones Downtown too!

Another day while Briant was gone, Andrew and I
 went to see a good friend of mine.
Her little boy is about a month older than Andrew.  
They both love to watch the TV!  Ha ha.
It was really good to see her and visit like old times at work! 
 Love her, can't wait to do it again!


Andrew found another friend that he loves to play with.
He really likes to suck on his ears, and his friend doesn't mind at all!

Lately, Andrew has been lifting up his head while in his bouncy seat.  Now he has started doing it while he is laying down.  Wow! Awesome ab muscles little dude!  Can I have some back please?


I blanched and froze 49 cobs of corn!  Thanks Pam!

Like I said earlier, he hasn't been sleeping very well during the day the past few weeks.  He also has been getting fussy for food earlier than normal.  So, we started feeding him more. We also don't swaddle him anymore (except he would sleep better if we did).  We want him to learn to fall asleep with out it for when he starts mastering the roll.
We really like it when he sleeps.  He is just so cute!


Really cute picture... except for the spit up.

He is a doll. It's so cool you still get to do the GH boards. I was a chicken about swaddling and swaddled Joci until she was six months old. It worked out just fine - I was so nervous she wouldn't sleep as well if she wasn't swaddled.

Hey- I look at my blog as a journal of what I'm thinking, feeling, and doing. You don't need to apologize for blogging a lot about Andrew- I have to agree that he is pretty much adorable! Sounds like you've been a busy lady. Keep up the good hard work mamma! And, P.S., I happen to think you're gorgeous- love the hair.

I love the new haircut! It doesn't make you look heavier, LOL. I think it's very flattering!
