It is so fun to finally be able to dress E in some of the little knits I worked on during the pregnancy. It makes this newly developed tendonitis in my thumb almost worth it.

Working on a set of chompers

We woke up Sunday morning to realize that ERG has cut his first teeth. There they were, out of nowhere. Does this account for the awful month of sleep we had for the entire month of September? I hope this doesn't set a pattern for each and every tooth he is to get. This momma and daddy cannot ride this roller coaster!

Preserving Summer

Millions of peaches, peaches for free

An innocent comment about the most delicious Utah peaches bought at the Farmers Market ended in a case (18lbs!) of ripe peaches that peppered almost every dish in our kitchen this week

Any ideas readers, for the justification of another case of peaches??

Wild Weather

As you may of heard, we endured some seriously wild weather here this last week. 

Tornadoes, really?? 

We survived it all and were rewarded with this view when the storm clouds lifted

Thank you AKP for the link.

Feed me, Seymour!

E has been quite curious about food these days. How can we tell? It may have been the reaching and grabbing of utensils right out of our hand, the death grip he harbors on bowls or plates should they be within reach, or the Jedi like stares that we get while eating, as if he is willing us to treat him to the delights of solids.

So, to celebrate his upcoming 5 month b-day we introduced the delicacy of baby cuisine.

 

 Yum...daddy had to wrestle the spoon from him each and every time!

 

 

When a tree falls in the forest...

This weekend was our first wood collecting weekend of the season. The first of the season and the first with baby in tow. He did great, even if his momma did leave him in the rain for just a few short seconds. It sounds worse than it was. Let me set the scene.

SG sawing wood, ERG laying under an aspen tree gazing at the sky while grasping his toes (his newest favorite toy), and KT loading wood into the back of the truck. While loading wood like a tetris expert I heard the sound of occasional BIG, FAT, WET raindrops hitting the top of the truck. I wasn't getting wet but, "Holy Cow", my baby is out there! No harm done. He was actually quite entertained by the mysterious substance plopping onto his face. Coos and smiles were present, I swear!
