Lions and Bears

The cold weather is upon us! Luckily, Jasper has some really cute warm weather gear to make up for the pain in the rear of getting him bundled up! News of the week... he now has two teeth on the bottom(!), he's crawling like a fiend, he hates peas (no, I mean he really hates them- but don't worry GANA, he likes his sweet potatoes!), and he also has pulled himself to standing a couple times. We start swimming lessons on Thursday.

Jasper the Polar Bear- this fleece suit kept him warm on a hike we went on today.


Jasper the Bear in his backpack- check out his TWO teeth now visible on the bottom!


This is Jasper's Halloween costume- Mr. Lion. We went to Leif's birthday party on Saturday and everyone was in costume. So cute- click here for more pictures.




Jasper and Keegan both really wanted the ball inside this basket!



All his toys to himself...


More new warm weather wear- MN kids are just so cute when it's cold out!

Eating Leaves

I mean, what else do you do with them?

Here's Jasper playing in the leaves in our yard.


Grandma and Jasper out watching Bear play fetch.



If you look really close, you can see Jasper's new tooth on the bottom in this picture! Thank you to Keely and Mickey for the use of the BOB! Jasper loves to go out in it!

Look Out World- He's Mobile!

It's official, he's off and running! Jasper does more of an "army crawl" than an official crawl but he gets where he needs to go with some speed.

Fall Fun

It really felt like a fall weekend- the leaves are changing, we walked in the woods, ate chili, pulled in the docks at the lake, had a bonfire and enjoyed the crisp air!

The Pearsons did such a good job of documenting our day yesterday, I hardly have to write a thing (follow link here)! It was a gorgeous weekend, that's for sure. Item of note: last night Jasper crawled out of his cosleeper so he's in his big boy crib for the first night tonight!

It was a big week for the little guy!

He met his first horse! He was in awe- like Bear only BIGGER!


Yep, Mom and Dad on a trampoline. Now that's a party.


Jasper and Papa bouncing just a little bit.


He ate his first solid food! Rice cereal (not Rice Krispies though, as Jim thought). Yummy.


He likes to help.


He also made a cameo appearance on Finn and Leif's blog! We've had fun playing outside in the beautiful fall weather with them!

And for the big news of the week- Jasper is getting his first tooth!! A little one on the bottom just popped through. Bring on the steak and potatoes.
