traditions happen

so... as halloween approached i thought "i want to decorate L's stroller!" for halloween night & so i did, making the above sign for the front of it. then, we ended up snapping photos of L beside his halloween sign on the couch which were so cute.

so when thanksgiving rolled around it dawned on me that i should whip up another "Liam's 1st" sign. and... so i did. as shown below.
then, sure enough, christmas came flying through the universe at us at a lightning speed and the challenge was on once again to craft up a little sign for photos on the 25th. voila! big sigh of relief! i did it!
next up: valentines day! and a tradition is born.

fixated on fall.

We're well into October, baby L's first fall, and it's making me think, i want him to KNOW true fall. I want him to experience leaves changing colors. Leaves falling. Diving into piles of said leaves. Pumpkin patches! Heck, growing your own pumpkins... jacket weather. Apple picking. Hot apple cider. Hay rides!

Ah, some day... for now, we'll just take him to Oktoberfest, on semi-cool 78 degree evening walks, dress him in a Halloween costume that doesn't make him overheat. Surround him in baby pumpkins and Indian corn imported from some place else... ;-) There will be changing leaves and chilly weather falls for Liam, I vow right now to make that happen, as it did for me as a child. But for now, baby L is the cutest, most fabulous little pumpkin a girl could ask for... What are your fall traditions? How do you immerse yourself in the season? Both here in South Florida and elsewhere. Do tell... In the mean time, Happy Autumn!
