Theo @ 8 Months

Theo has grown a lot in  the last month. He's perfected the army crawl and can go from laying to sitting on his own. He's getting better at his pincher grab and picking up small items.

He has started waving.

He continues to smile at any and everyone.

He currently loves chasing the vacuum, eating real food, being held, playing with Meadow, playing with cords. 

Some days he only has mama milk other days he gets three meals. He inhales bananas and has liked everything he's tried.

He also eats just about anything thats on the ground. I take something out of his mouth on a regular schedule.

He still goes to bed between 7-9 and wakes up 1-3 times at night. Occasionally he sleeps through the night and wakes up around 7:30.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Fall Adventures with the Kids (without Scott)

While Scott was exploring ( I was working...) California the kids and I were back home. Porch breakfast and planning for our upcoming Washington road trip. Today we had plans to go apple picking and hiking. I packed us a picnic lunch for our day. Meadow had earned some money recently and with her money bought herself a music stand. It arrived today. Then the kids and I drove to Whistling Well Farms to go apple picking. We had been here a couple times in the past few years. 

Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie on the 4th of July

  As you can see I wasn't exactly happy to be working on a Sunday, but Best Buy hasn't exactly given me another option.    I hate when he has to work on my only day off. Wait my first two days off since New Years. Yeah, it's summer and we like to enjoy our "weekends," but life isn't always fair. Because I woke up pretty late I ate Brooke's famous strawberry-rhubarb pie for breakfast. Brooke always makes at least one straw-barb pie every year. On Saturday night she finished up the pie she'd started a few days back.   She's perfected the art of crust making after many failed attempts. It's all about finding the right recipe. She's also got a nifty cutter from Nordic Ware that makes the lattice work much easier. I'd rate this as the best one she's made to date. My breakfast was not dessert. I had oatmeal with blueberries. Somehow basil has been growing like weeds and has taken over two plant...
