He fell asleep on our evening walk. He is getting so big

I love our stroller we have given up our graco stroller and our reversie umbrella stroller and we couldn't be happier

I think this is my favorite keepsake craft thus far

Yesterday and today our town had a festival. Yesterday we didn't stay to long just went to see the dinosaurs. Today we spent a few hours. Pumpkin had fun. I am so glad I had the keenz today though because the privacy curtains really helped once he fell asleep.

Yes his socks are miss matched and the safety straps were adjusted but this was the cutest reaction. The first time I sat him in his wagon he sat down and put his arms in the harness and just waited to be buckled up

Yesterday pumpkin had his nine month well visit. He is 22 pounds and 29 inches tall. He met all milestones but waving and playing patty cake (also doesn't clap) the nurse said we really need to work on that.

We weren't really concerned by this when we first went in, he knows how to clap he just would rather grab our hands make us clap and stomp around while we do. He doesn't wave by but is asleep when his daddy leaves for work and if I put him in his pack n play it is I'll be right back not bye bye (putting him in it is more if we know our attention is going to be split since he is a climber as in I can't react quickly enough to stop him if I am doing something like straining hot food so it's safer for him to be in his pack n play. In general however he has always been allowed to move about freely we baby proofed early and keep a close eye on him) He doesn't play patty cake as that would involve sitting still and he has always been a very active baby. He crawled early cruised early and walked early. He is just more interested in exploring and being up and playing. The nurse had me second guessing myself a bit but at the end of the day those don't seem like milestones to fret over right now.

He is crawling cruising and walking now (he will crawl or cruise in rooms were our floors are harder but will walk a few steps in the room with plush rugs.

He is now saying dada, hi, hey, hello, yeah and huh. He will also respond sometimes to a yes or no question in Portuguese with sim but don't quite have nao down.

He has done well with baby led weaning but is in a phase of refusing to even touch some fruits but will eat almost any vegetable given.

We have made the transition to being diaper free during the day. He is in underwear at home and during some outings though if we are going out and know finding a bathroom quickly is unlikely we use a pull up or one wet trainer as back up

My morning is off to a lovely start. For the most part I live in a quiet area this morning though its been a little louder than usual. First one of my neighbors got loud and startled pumpkin. This wouldn't have been a problem except pumpkin was on the potty mid pee and "jumped" into my arms. I gave him a cuddle and changed shirts than went to nurse him same neighbor again startled pumpkin mid let down so pumpkin needed a change of clothes. Its going to be a long day

He woke from a deep sleep to take my sandwich afterwards he laid back down and went right back to sleep

Someone took a picture of pumpkin off of my facebook and posted it to their own without asking or even telling me. She's related to my husband's half sister. I have never met her and only talked to her once on messenger.

I don't know how i feel about this. I want it taken off her profile but don't know how to go about it. I don't know if I'm over reacting or not
