3rd Tooth

Jack got his third tooth today. It's the upper left central incisor. It looks like the right one will be joining the party soon too. No pictures because we're in Dallas visiting my parents; I'll upload some when we get home in a few days.

Jack is also sitting up mostly on his own, is really getting interested in his toys, and is showing some interest in our food too. We're planning to start him on solids around his 6 month adjusted age - so just a couple of weeks to go!

Autumn Leaves

We took Jack to look at leaves around our neighborhood:

This last tree is in our front yard - it's just about reached its peak.

Canadian Thanksgiving

...was Monday. But I'm just now downloading the pictures from the camera. Jack probably won't fit into his Tday pjs by November, so he wore them for Canada's celebration instead.

Cheesecake

I had some cream cheese to use up, so I tried a new recipe for Cheesecake Pops (they were supposed to have lollipop sticks in them, but I didn't do that part!). They are cheesecake, rolled in graham cracker crumbs, then dipped in melted chocolate (I did half white and half semisweet). They are definitely tasty, but the magazine picture ones were prettier! =P

Milk Coma

Neighborhood Park

We stopped at one of our neighborhood parks last night on the way home from the foothills.

Jack's new trick is grabbing my hair and pulling.

Aspens

We took Jack into the foothills to look for Aspen color today. We're a little late (they peaked a week or 2 ago), but we found a few. And we had fun, so that's really all that matters! We ate lunch at a biker bar in Sedalia. =)

Enjoying the cool weather (high of 70 today).

Yellow aspens - Jack was asleep in his carseat.

Bibs

Happy October!! (Jack loves the word "Boo!" right now; also Moo! - as in Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type - his current fave book.)
