Fall

We are so glad it has gotten cooler. I actually turned on the heater for about 5 minutes to take the crispness out of the air this morning.

Dr. worked all weekend but we kept busy.

October is Rose Season in Tyler. They have a queen and her court. The rose garden is in full bloom and there is a parade and a coronation.

We ventured to the parade Saturday morning. After growing up in Mobile and living in Jackson with the Sweet Potato Queens parade, this was about the shoddiest parade I had ever seen. The highlight of the parade was watching drunk Miss Senior America ride on the back of a car.

We also got to see the court with food on their head.... I mean with their gorgeous hats.




Finally after Chuck asked to leave for the 10th time, we decided to leave the parade.

We had a birthday party yesterday afternoon. Chuck got a little bruised and swollen cheek from a collision on one of the inflatable slides but it was gone by today. Both boys were exhausted by bedtime but for some reason both got up at 5:30 this morning. Ugh. Painful.

Today we did a few errands. We stopped by Pet-smart to see animals, played in the backyard, and then made it to the playground this afternoon.































Chuck and I have been talking about the seasons. He prefers to call Autumn, "Fall, because the leaves are falling. Autumn doesn't make sense, mom." Next weekend we have some Fall activities planned.

10 months

Guess what little.... I mean, big guy is 10 months old?!?! You guessed it! Time is flying. It is amazing how much different it is raising Smith than Chuck. With Chuck I was working full time, would sometimes go two weeks without seeing Dr. and now that I have something to compare it to, am pretty sure I had postpartum. This time is a whole different ballgame. I'm enjoying being with the baby.

Right now, Smith is working hard on his climbing. All our barricades are now useless.







He (finally) has two teeth. We are a little behind with the whole teething. They just broke through last week.




Smith now has free range if the house since he can climb over things and push chairs around. This is what happens when you go potty. He crawls under the table and stands up so there is no way to get him out.




There is no such thing as privacy in this house.




We have to go to playgrounds with swings now. Smith will sit in the stroller if he has a snack but otherwise he wants to play too!
