we <3 fall!!!

i can hardly believe it, but someone is just over 11 months old now! it's been a rough week - double ear infection and lots of throwing up...3 times directly on me, once on aa and twice in the high chair. ugh. today he felt much better, so we went outside for some fresh air and decided to play in a pile of leaves that aa had just raked! what fun!!! he also spend friday at his grandma and grandpa's house where he had a great time! he bonded quite a bit with his grandpa and wanted only to be held by him!

we're now working on the planning for the big 1st birthday...which will actually be quite simple. we'll save the craziness for when he is a bit older and will be able to remember and participate! we just need a little cake and ice cream for now...that will be party enough. i am making some really cute invites...which i'll post a picture of here soon.
