Trick or treat! Actually not so much.. Lonan is too little to go out and I'd just wind up eating all the candy anyway. So Daddy worked late and the boy and I stayed in. He squealed (his new favorite thing) while I put together his new jumper . Some assembly required, indeed.
And today (Nov. 1) is Doug's birthday - Happy Birthday Daddy!
Sunday was a farewell bbq for Leslie and Gary, who are moving back to Baltimore. Sorry you never got to babysit, Leslie.
A beautiful Indian summer day in Brad & Michael's backyard.
Kristen and Morten were there with their kids Annika and Axel. Kristen is the one who helped me find Lonan's christening gown... it's pretty darn cute.
We had friends over for dinner both Saturday and Sunday night and found that Lonan was much happier sitting on someone's lap at the table than he was in his bouncy chair. More ans more he wants to check things out, see the people, be part of the action. I can't tell you how many people have commented on how alert he is.
This is probably about a month old... kinda Rosemary's Baby but cuter.
Golf anyone?
Doesn't he look like a little man?
He's been waking up about 5am for the last 10 days. Not good. Some mornings (if you can call it that - the sun and birds are not even up) we just give him his binkie and he falls back to sleep. But then the binkie falls out and he often wakes up again... vicious circle. So Poppa had a long talk with him last night about the importance of little boys (and tired Poppas) getting a good night's sleep. Sure enough, this morning he slept til 7. Attaboy!
OMG those are so cool. I Wonder who they belong to?
Cousin Nancy and Frank were up from SoCal this weekend and we spent Saturday afternoon with them.
Sunday was the Castro Street fair. The weather was beautiful.
Lonan is so blurry because he hardly stops moving these days. He's a bundle of energy. That's Lucy, his nanny. He's so happy with her.. breaks into a huge smile when he sees her. She's working out great and hopefully will be with us for a very long time. She's only worked with 5 families over the last 17 years.. leaving when the kids go off to school, and still sees many of them to this day. Love her!
