Fall Weather Fun

Fall has been a mixed bag this year. We had an early cold burst in September which prompted me to run out and buy pants, long sleeves and fleece jammies for Jack. Then it warmed up again with another quick descent. Over the last 2 months we've had lots of fun adventures in the afternoons and evenings while daddy is at work or school. Here are just some fun pictures of life.

This was actually with Mark. Jack is sporting his first Strawberry milkshake mustache from In N Out. He was a fan for sure, just refused to sport the hat. 

That same night after In N Out we went to an arcade where Jack tried out driving. He's a pretty serious driver. 

Lost in the leaves in the backyard. We love our tall trees but we get SO many leaves it's impossible to keep up.

We got to to hang out with cousin Brighton and cousin Jayden for a few hours. Jack was pretty interested in the "computer". Thankfully Brighton was mostly okay with sharing and "helping" Jack use it. 

We have always loved walks. But as of recently, Jack prefers walks without the wagon. He loves going to check the mail (usually a 10 minute commitment unless you want screaming), and watching the "spinner" in our neighbors yard. Thankfully we know them and they are understanding of the fascination so they don't seem to mind when we loiter in their front yard area. 

 We love things that spin...pinwheels, fans, and even the Golden Arches that spin are amazing. Sometimes it's a little embarrassing how fanatic he is about it when we are at someone's house who has a fan. 

 He is a total cuddle bug. He really was not for the first year unless he was really tired. Now he loves to cuddle up in the morning and sometimes before bed or nap time when he is extra tired. He must be getting a growth spurt or something because in the last week he has slept in until 9 multiple times and even as late as 9:45- twice! 

Sometimes we just hang out...and with life keeping us pretty busy, it's nice to have mornings where we kind of look like this! 

And finally, here are two videos of him. The first is play feeding his doll with Maria. The doll is actually mine from childhood and he has grown super attached to it. The 2nd one is of him playing in leaves. Last year he was scared to death of the crunchy leaf sound. This year he totally loves it. Next year will be a blast I'm sure!
