audrey danielle: TEN months

My peanut is 10 months old. TEN. We're talking double-digit months, people. We're talking t-minus two months until her first birthday. Torture I tell you, absolute torture to realize she's too quickly out-growing this baby phase that I so love. Partly because it's so adorable and precious, but partly because it is so fleeting. I'm determined as ever to not let any moment or memory get by without wonder and awe. I love you, Audrey Danielle, more than you will ever understand. 

Jackson's 10 month update HERE.

sunday night at the playground.

Things to know about this playground:

1. It is at the elementary school where I grew up. It was much smaller than in my memories.

2. Jackson is riding his pink bike because he went #2 on the potty (a tiny bit anyway) so he was rewarded as promised. 

3. We are wearing jackets. Jackets! Fall weather is my favorite.

 

V is for volcano

Jackson has been obsessed with volcanoes lately, constantly asking us to "talk about volcanoes" and asking questions about what they are, where they are, how they work. We've resorted to you tube videos when our own knowledge runs out (which happens pretty quickly with this subject). He pretends everything is a volcano and runs around the house "rescuing" us and asking to be rescued from the "hot, hot volcano." Pretty adorable (see him in his "volcano boots and cape" below which apparently protects you from the volcanoes). So, last weekend we made some volcanoes of our own by mixing vinegar (which we colored with food coloring) and baking soda which we had in muffin tins so it looked like a bunch of mini exploding volcanoes. The kid was in heaven.
