Take a birthday phone call from Grandma (in your best dress up costume, of course)...
Count up your presents. Stack them up high!
Open them...
Make a wish and blow out the candles on your cake...
And eat it!!

Somehow, we completely missed Fall. We went straight from flip flops and shorts to hats and mittens! We've had snow not once but TWICE already. Craziness!!
This weekend, the kids actually sled down the hill in our yard. Granted, there was only about a millimeter of snow - but they somehow made it work. Once the snow was completely melted (which it was by about 11 a.m.) the kids switched from sleds to the Little Red Wagon. Their big brother Braden pushed them down the hill in it! I'm actually glad I didn't know about that until after the fact since since it doesn't sound entirely safe.
And after the sledding escapade, they moved on to jumping in the leaves.
FUN!
As for myself, considering that I'm not any kind of fan of cold weather (below 60 is too cold for me!) - I stayed nice and cozy inside with my little sweetie bear.
He's an absolute joy and delight. I could spend hours staring back in my little man's eyes and cooing back and forth.

I love, love, love, LOVE this age. My little snuggle bug.

Don't let this picture fool you. Even though baby boy is not wearing any clothes, that does NOT mean it's warm around here! In fact, I actually threw a winter coat on Grace as we headed out the door this evening for gymnastics.
Nevertheless, babies are always cuter in their bare skin. I took a few pictures of my little guy. These are not at all the best shots- but I had to post them because they show him practically taking off crawling. Cannot believe how strong he is! He's barely a month old and is not only consistently keeping his head up, but actually prefers to be in this position.
When I took these pictures below, he was even scooting himself by pushing his back legs. He even moved a couple inches! Because he was such a big baby at birth, is so big now and doing so many "big baby" stuff so early (holding his head up, smiling so much) I feel like I missed that little newborn stage! In a way it's a little sad- but, at the same time, it is so fun to interact with him and smile and coo back and forth with him.
Even though the "au natural" look may be for the baby, my little girl isn't having it. No messing around for her. She's already preparing for winter.
Hats?
Check.
Gloves?
Check.
You can never be too prepared!
