Our weekend...

In the midst of a fantastic, relaxing weekend and realized I hadn't updated in a while.  Where to start?

First of all, happy "seven months old" to our little David.  Here he is playing this morning in his stretchie camo PJs.  I wanted to get a picture of how cute he is in this thing before he outgrows it.  Although the outfit itself is pretty adorable, his cheesy poses and expressions obviously steal the show.

We went to Stuckey Farm last night to check out the pumpkin situation.   Didn't end up with a pumpkin, but had a nice stroll among the apple trees.  We went late in the day to avoid the heat and David was exhausted.  Thankfully, he stayed content in his front carrier, which is par for the course.  Worked on capturing the late day light with my SLR, didn't quite get the effect I wanted but still captured a few good shots nonetheless.

David has just been a ball lately.  Lots of belly laughs, smiles, chuckles, "talking", and trying to get up on all fours to crawl.  Any day now I expect him to go creeping across the floor, but for now he seems pretty satisfied to sit and play on the floor.  What huge joy in such a small little package.  Love that boy.

One side note:  I also learned this morning that life really is too short to make your own baby food.  Spent the morning washing, steaming, and pureeing carrots, thinking this would be a great way to save a few dollars a week and give David some wholesome, tasty food.  I proudly presented the final product to my customer for lunch.  Not exactly the reaction I wanted.  He ate a few bites with a neutral expression.  Then he coughed.  And sputtered.  And GAGGED.  What?  He pretty much hated it, clearly.  It wasn't as bad as his reaction to pureed chicken and gravy last week, but still pretty insulting.  Although I didn't get any pictures of this ultimate rejection, I will always remember that he did not enjoy the first meal I ever prepared for him myself.  Oh, well.  Gerber, take it away...
