autumn in the 'boken

time is going by superfast lately
faster than normal fast
we have had 3 weddings, with another coming up next month
parker has been sick, and then getting over being sick

we need to slow things down and take it day by day
instead of looking ahead and missing the right now

so..... a look at our fall fun so far, and hope we can embrace the rest before all of a sudden it's winter

seventeen months

i think an ice cream cone is in order!

and last september 17th--just seven months old,

now for a little harmonica song to end this post, happy 17 months to the most adorable, crazy, train loving, stroller pushing, full speed ahead toddler i know.  there are not enough words of love to express just how much there is in my heart for you :) xoxo

scenes from the weekend

this weekend was AMAZING weather
the fall is our favorite time of year
we got married in the fall, and the sunshine and crispness reminds us of our days back in SoCal
where it all began ;)

the weekend ended on a high note with the Giants coming back in the last couple of minutes to win against Tampa :)  GO GIANTS!!!!  

Last August.....

you went everywhere in the bjorn

you were just starting to hold your bottle, with help from your toes :)

you had your first trip to the bier garten (of course many more followed)

you would fall asleep, in our arms, anywhere! (like at johnny pepperoni's)

you were just starting solids, and loved them!

you had the BEST chunky legs, and wrists, and neck....

you loved jumping in your jumparoo

bbq and home brew tastings were a breeze when you couldn't run up and down steps yet ;)

....can't believe that September is here already, that last year I was struggling with going back to work, and now I get to spend all my days with my amazing boy, who is not a baby anymore....but we have so many fun adventures coming up, the three of us, I can't wait to see what this fall will bring.... xoxo my boy will always be my peanut, baby 'P'

scenes from sunday

we had a blast on sunday when we went to Van Saun park, right by Rob's grandma's house.  we rode on the very same train that Rob rode on as a little boy (and Rob's mom as a little girl!)  So nice to spend time with everyone, and Parker was loving every minute...

what we've been up to....

1.chalk drawings  2. soooo big!  3. ice cream,ice cream, more ice cream

4. loves bath time  5. breakfast bagel dates  6. likes the swings again, yay  

7. pretty obsessed with pizza-doesn't take after his daddy at alllll ;)

AND love this video of him with his new chatter phone

happy weekend!
