Fall Has Arrived!

The weather has been cool the last few days, and we've used that as an excuse to get outside and have some fun. Yesterday Mommy took Ian for a long stroller ride around the neighborhood, where we saw the new playground, the lake and fountains, and lots of ducks. Ian loves to be outside and especially loves his stroller (it's got lots of interesting toys to look at). Eventually he dozed off but woke up whenever we stopped moving.

Today he got dressed up in his warm onesie and denim overalls and we went out to run some errands. He looks ready for a hayride, but got to watch Mommy drink a pumpkin spice latte and get a pedicure instead. Here he is showing off his Fall duds and trying out his Bumbo. He's still a little too floppy to sit in it for long, and he's not at all sure he likes it.


After the morning's fun and a long nap, we spent some time in the playroom. Ian loves to look out the big window at the trees, and he's recently become mesmerized by his elephant toy.


He also loves to watch the mirror and the spinning birds above his head while he swings.


Swinging time usually ends like this:


Of course, the whole time we're in the playroom, this is what we see on the other side of the gate:
