Gettin' fresh air and lovin' it!

"So dad don't you wish you could only wear a t-shirt around the house too?"

I had my first pancakes this morning on the porch. I loved the banana & wild berries in them. I even fed myself...and the dogs! It was a beautiful morning - I wish I could eat every meal on the porch! We topped off our super morning with a walk. Buddy, Nelly and Missy made the loop with us - it was great! So happy Fall is here!

Bathroom Band busted...
Yah, this is my new thing. I love to bang on the toilet seat - it makes such a cool noise. More recently I've added a new instrument to my band. It's this silver thing that I can open with my foot by pushing on this pedal. Sometimes I get too much going on at once and I close my hand in the lid and can't get it out...ouch! I think I've picked the most sanitary corner in the house. It is great!!

Gotcha!!

Just can't get enough of this little guy! Thursday Mrs. Lydia had an appointment so I stayed home with Jack and took him to his 9 month checkup. No shots this time so it was much easier on mom:) Other than having a mild fever (doc said he had a little ear infection), he's doing great. Jack weighted in at 17.5 lbs - below for his age but he is also above "average" for his height (28 inches) so the combo = a lengthy, happy little guy that eats like a horse! I can't keep up with making his food.

We had a great day playing and shopping. He just soaks up all those compliments he gets from the little old ladies at the store! Days like these make it even more temping to stay home with him all the time. Some day soon... He's such a good, happy baby!!!
I'm just a little bit in love with this guy:)

Our little man is already 9 months old!

Dad and I had a photo-shoot. I thought this one was pretty good. I look grown-up!

Check out my brows...

Owen, his mom - Jessica and mom and I at the Aldridge's house. They had us over for pizza and to watch the game. Mom and I even dressed up to support the Buckeyes and still no love:(

I loved crawling through Ross & Owen's tunnel. I screamed the whole way through. That is my new thing. I love to scream as loud as I can especially in quiet places like church. It's great to hear my own voice echo:)

Owen let me check out his swing. It fit me perfect!

Hilarious!

After dinner entertainment

Tis' the season...GO VOLS!

Jacks got his TN gear on for our hike at Land Between the Lakes - such a happy kid!

Dinner with Nanna, Papa and the Jordans.
First dinner on our porch this season...better late than never!

Good dinner, good company - we have the best neighbors!

Jacks new teething toy. He loves his sourdough baguette from Kirchoff's Bakery. The trick is to keep it in his hand or on his tray without Buddy or Nelly snatching it! This was Jack's entertainment while we all ate.

Loved Papa H's glasses. I couldn't get enough of them and it looks as love I like picking his nose too:) mmm...

Jack's laughing dog & Buddy

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!!

Yah, that's me...my grandma Peg hooked me up with some "biker-wagon" shades!

And my very first real bat from the Louisville Slugger factory - autographed by yours truly!

Do I smile or cry? That mouth could take my head off at any moment!!!

Hey baby, wanna ride?

...or would you like a ride in this instead? Pretty cool:)
Thanks for letting me test it out Caroline & Rodney!
