Happy Fall, Y'all!


Here he is fresh from a 12-hour sleep, still in his PJs. Macy bought these a LONG time ago (probably on sale for 75% off). Basically, it is an orange jumpsuit (with feet). On the left side there is a scarecrow and the words "Happy Fall, Y'all!" I love it. The crooked lips, the car, this is CLASSIC JEB.

And his other grandma bought him this little sweater and hat set ...

Autumn hat and sweater!

which he wore yesterday to our first Mommies in Motion class (click to read an article about the program) at Centennial Park, home of Nashville's Parthenon. It was a blast! We walked and jogged and squatted and did hand weights and abs and stretching and dips and up hill and down hill and backwards and forwards and sang silly songs. We also fed some geese, ducks, and pigeons, which I think was The Goose's favorite part, of course. He made his famous Sound to Denote that Animals are Present, which is a high pitched shrieking sort of noise combined with the syllables DA-DA-DA. I was actually surprised that none of the pigeons came and ate off of his snack tray in the stroller since about 10 minutes into the workout he had smeared cream cheese and jelly and smashed cheerios all over it. The whole time I was amused by the fact that here I was working out and simultaneously stuffing his face with every snack I could find in his bag. The Goose isn't crazy about the stroller, but if snacks are involved then there's hope. We may even try this again!

In other news, The Goose can now say "Bird"! He was outside with his dad and a bird flew overhead and The Dad said, "Bird!" and The Goose replied "Bur." This is not surprising, since he makes this same sound for "burp."

It is finally FALL and I love the cooler weather. What a fabulous time of year for him to start walking! He now BEGS to go outside to push his cart and because of the cooler weather, now I actually enjoy going with him. So indeed, "HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!"
