Happy Fall

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!!!
We had a ton of fun at a local pumpkin patch with our little pumpkin. Once again his fingers had to reach out and touch everything aground him and he was fascinated by all the orage everywhere he looked!

Happy Hallowen

Longmont Vision Center once again participated in the Halloween parade on Main Street. We had a blast handing out candy to almost 3,000 children. This year we were proud to present our little peasant boy, complete with a little leather vest, patches on his trousers and a little tinfoil sword. He loved seeing all the kids in their costumes!

Super Pooper!
Well every mom just has to have one of those "explosive" stories when it comes to changing a little one's diapers. I sure had mine this week! We were at a very important financial meeting and things were going very well with little Jadeyn quietly playing at my feet under the desk. Then a very definite odor began filling the room. Humm. I lasted about 5 minutes before excusing myself to change the little guy. As I picked him up,I noticed a brown spot about the size of a nickel on the carpet where he was sitting. Oh no! Then I took a look at my son. The front of his outfit was streaked in brown seeping through. Time to move quick. I took him to the public restroom, locked the door, sacrificed his blanket and spread it out on the floor and began to determine the best course of action. Honestly, if I had scissors, I would have cut off his outfit. I got the little outfit off without to much incident. But the tie-die onsie underneath was caked! Eeoow! AT that point I decided that documentation was necessary to show Kevin what he was missing out on! Jadeyn had somehow exploded all in the front, all over his belly, chest etc. The photo was taken after I had wiped off his tummy. Well Jadeyn wasn't going to let me off with a normal calm diaper chage either. With a squeal, he began to pat his tummy and slap his legs in delight proceeding to finger-paint himself! Oh dear!
Needless to say, 15 minutes, 10 wipies, and a new outfit later we made it back to the meeting!
(By the way, the pictures are small so spare you all the graphic details! And this was even after I’d wiped off his belly and before he started fingerpainting!)

We have a character on our hands!

Filing the nails! I think we have a little character on our hands! What a face! I have heard too many moms say how terrible they felt when they accidentally cut their baby's finger when cutting their nails. Therefore, I have been filing them at least every other day to keep the scratches at a minimum. He puts up with it pretty well, that is, until daddy gets him laughing!

Winter is on its way! We bought Jadeyn a sweet wool cap for the winter months. We get to use it this weekend on our last hooraah of a camping trip (in a Yurt this time so we won't freeze).

Banana Sticker
Don't you just love it when you ask a baby to do something and he does it!! He followed the instructions on the sticker perfectly!! It says: Place sticker on forehead. Smile!
