17 months

Two months in a row - am I good, or what?

This is his catalog pose.

This month, Jameson has been all about books. He loves them. He likes to flip through each page pretty quickly, then go back to review random pages near the middle.

The other day, I was up getting ready for the day and he was being really quiet. Usually, when I go upstairs, he follows me eventually and tries to get under the sink so he can sprinkle Comet in his hair and eat pomade. But today, he didn't. I looked down the stairs, and he was crouched on the kitchen floor (like Mr. Peepers) thumbing through Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Like it was the most interesting thing in the world.

He also has a special book that he reads at church, that is also a puzzle, which is cool, and a few he likes to read in the car.

I love his obsession with books and I hope he'll soon allow me to actually read to him!

He also loves apples as much as Mr. Peepers does.

Jameson has also discovered the joy of dipping french fries (and his fingers) in ketchup.

He also eats yogurt with a spoon and is obsessed with outside. Here he sits watching Mark mow the lawn:

This little bug is getting so big, but I still can't believe he is going to be the big brother so soon. I entered the third trimester today, and it's also 90 degrees outside. We are so excited to meet baby Blake.

Breckenridge

We just got back from a fun trip to Breckenridge, Colorado. The locals call this "mud season;" the resorts are closed but it isn't quite warm enough for summer sports.

We didn't care. We practically had the city to ourselves, and the weather was actually really nice.

On Sunday, one of Mark's friends from law school came up with his family to stay with us at our condo. It was nice to walk around, visit and try to keep the kids entertained. We walked the river in town, which is so pretty.

We also found a slide:

On Monday, we went in to Denver to visit my friend Melissa and her family, but not without stopping by Mile-High Stadium for Mark to commune with the sports gods and for Jameson to fall on his face on the sidewalk. We met up with Melissa and her kids at the Colorado Children's Museum, which Jameson loved. He could have moved right in. I don't have a lot of good pictures at the museum, because Jameson wouldn't even take a break from playing long enough to even look at me.

On Tuesday, we spent time hiking and shopping. The hiking was (mostly) successful, with Jameson doing quite a bit of his own walking.

Main street in Breckenridge is so adorable. It's lined with colorful, historic homes, and I was geeking out about every one.

We loved our little getaway and will definitely be going back!
