Happy bear 🧸
Speaking of bears, there have been multiple bear sightings in our area this autumn! The temperature has also dropped rapidly, with icy cold winds and night temperatures hovering around 3 degrees Celsius. We’ve started using our electric heaters and pulling out our sweaters from storage! What is the October weather like in your area?

Happy 7 months, Jamie Fionnlagh!! 🍂 In the firs

Happy 7 months, Jamie Fionnlagh!! 🍂 In the first photo you can catch a glimpse of Jamie’s 3rd tooth (top left) that recently popped through the gum, and a 4th is on its way soon! 🦷 Jamie is not a great sleeper, yet always seems full of endless energy!! These days he enjoys cruising, walking sideways or attempting to move from one obstacle to the next (and is getting progressively harder to photograph!! 🤣). He’s also fascinated by picture books and loves music and bouncing. Every day with him is an adventure, and the sound of his giggling makes all the long nights worthwhile. (;

We finally caved and got a secondhand playpen from Mercari for the home office, so I no longer have to worry about this little climber getting injured while I get a few quick tasks done each morning. Swipe to see a photo that captures the spirit of our wild child perfectly.. 😂

We moved the edge of the sofa cover up higher, but that didn’t stop this guy from climbing.. 😆 Jamie’s current hobbies include scaring his mama by pulling up on the coffee table, toy baskets, and everything in-between!!

Happy half-birthday, Jamie!! We can’t believe yo

Happy half-birthday, Jamie!! We can’t believe you’re already 6 months old and halfway through the baby stage!! 🐻🍯 Jamie currently loves speed-crawling through the house, trying to open things, exploring under tables, and attempting to grab food off of our plates. He has two teeth, enjoys bath time, and is a talkative guy that loves being around people. He is such a special part of our family! ♥️ (Sharing 2 days late, as Jamie wasn’t feeling well for a few days.. thankfully he’s back to his happy, healthy self!)

Remembering Oma and Opa (my great grandparents) on Grandparent’s Day, and wishing I could have been there during Oma’s memorial service over the weekend. ♥️ At the same time, I feel so grateful that my family has had the opportunity to grow up alongside so many generations, and this day is a reminder to hold those we love a little closer.

Our silly, sweet boy.. 💕 Recently he’s started exploring more of the house rather than staying in his play areas, which means making sure nothing unsafe is on low shelves, and ordering outlet covers.. if you have little ones, what was most helpful to you in creating safe spaces in your home? ^_^
