Autumn

So fall is creeping slowly into New England. The first sign is the fields of pumpkins, then pumpkins and mums start turning up on doorsteps. The Fall Foliage is the biggest tourist season in New England; hopefully over the next couple of weeks I can get some pictures that show you why that is.

He’s not so little anymore!

Lowell said this weekend that having a 6 month old isn’t nearly as much fun as having a 9 month old. I must say that L makes parenting lots of fun. He has enjoyed peekaboo for a long time, but now he can initiate the hiding. I was folding diapers on the floor this weekend and L was having a great time throwing them over his head and peeking out from behind them.


L still hasn’t figured out how to put all the parts of crawling together yet to go forward, but he is discovering the joy of furniture walking. Moving around on his feet comes with many anxious moments for both L and his parents as he wobbles around corners and reaches on his tip toes for toys that are just out of reach. L has bonked his head a couple of times, but no bruising yet.
