SC

South Carolina for Collin and Allison's wedding. All was lovely. Food, people, weather, etc.
Got a ton of knitting done on the car ride. I think we should drive 10 hrs every weekend. I'd get so much done! Finished the owl sweater vest and the soaker pants that I made for J. He looked so cute in the vest at the rehearsal dinner. Is it wrong that I love to see him in stuff that I've made him? Now I'm starting to make a bag and then felt it!!

I never feel like I take good pics of the stuff I've made. If anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate it.

Went to the beach. a wonderfully windy day. Flew a kite. J walked forever. He picked up his first sea shell. I immediately made a mental note to pick it up whenever he dropped it and save it forever but after 10 min or so he handed it to me. As if to say "here I know you want this". That little boy knows me so well!

Peter looked great in his suit, J looked adorable in his suit, I had a fun time dressing up in my fancy dress. But after 30 min the heels came off and the berks went back on.

Made hummus for the first time last night. A little lumpy but not bad overall. J and P ate it up.

Dear Fire House:
I hate you when you decide it's time to test the sirens on your engines at the exact moment I finally have gotten my sweet baby boy to sleep.
But I love you when my baby is gushing blood from his mouth and I only have to run 20 ft to get medical attention.

He split open the piece of skin that connects your upper lip to your gum. No stitches needed. He's fine. I'm not sure about me.

Jonah's a walker, Jonah's a walker. That's right I said it Jonah's a walker!!!

It started last week in earnest and by the weekend he was unstoppable. He is so into exploring everything. Its like he's in a hurry to grow up RIGHT NOW!!! And get super upset when he can't do everything that he wants at the exact moment that he wants to do it.
Now if he stumbles he wails for a few seconds then carries on. Or if he is carrying a big box across the living room and he drops it he acts as if the world is ending for 2 seconds and then picks it back up and keeps going.
We are also having some communication difficulties. I haven't spoken baby in a bout 33 yrs and he isn't quite fluent in english yet. But we're working it out.

He is already smarter than I am.

I am almost done knitting the soaker pants for him. They are super cute. I decided however that I should knit him a sweater vest to wear to Collin and Allison's rehearsal dinner. The pattern is adorable. I just hope I can get it done in time. pictures of both soon................I hope!!
