A Lovely Fall

This has been a lovely Fall. Jax has gotten to do a lot of fun and exciting things.

In September he learned how to blow. Then he started blowing on everything from hot food to dandelions. Sometime during the month he also decided to try sleeping like a big boy outside of his crib with his mattress on the floor (although a few nights were successful, this was a short lived event).

In early October, we took a weekend trip to Door County, WI with April and Kieran. Despite Jaxon kicking the trip off with a massive nose bleed, we all had a great time. It was a much needed get-away. Jaxon also started "school" (aka daycare)at the first of the month. It took him a little getting use to but now he really likes it and is learning a lot.

In mid-October Jax and Mommy went to Petrifying Springs Park for a fun photo-op; that was an experience! First Mommy forgot the SD card for the camera, so we had to go to plan B and use the phone. Then Jax had no understanding of all the dangers lurking around the park (for example: the creek, the bridge, the cliffs, the road...)so that made it difficult to focus on taking pictures. However, we did manage to get a few good pics. We also spent a fun Sunday afternoon at Stade's Pumpkin Farm. The weather was extremely hot @ 88* not the usual Pumpkin patch weather. It wasn't a usual Pumpkin patch either, it was awesomely fun! Jaxon has the best time playing in the corn pit and tunnels and with farm animals and sliding down the highest of slides and riding the tractor pulled hay-ride. Fun times at the patch!!

As usual, Halloween came around at the end of the month and Jaxon dressed up like a little red dragon. He was so cute and loved, loved, loved his costume. We met up with Jax's neighborhood friends, Grayson and Jacob, and with Katie and Maddy from next door and of course his best bud, Kieran and off we went trick-or-treating. Jaxon had the best time going house to house ringing door bells and getting fun treats put in his bucket. He trick-or-treated for the entire hour and a half that we were out. Then he came home and crashed an hour earlier than his normal bedtime.

It has been a great Fall so far and it's not over yet. Thanksgiving here we come!
