Bundled up baby

Seriously...could he get any cuter?!

Okay, he got me...even cuter :)

We love going on walks in our neighborhood in the mornings after breakfast, and since it has been so chilly recently, I've had to get Joshua all bundled up so that he'll stay warm. I've always been a big fan of hooded zip-up jackets, but seeing them on Little Man brings them to a whole different level of adorable. He's been pretty good about keeping his mittens on, which surprised me--his little hands get so cold without them. As he's growing into a larger clothing size, I'm reminded how blessed we are to have such wonderful and generous friends. Thanks to their hand-me-downs, we have almost nothing to purchase for Joshua for at least another year...and, of course, grandmas fill in with new outfits too :)

We are LOVING fall! We're going to the State Fair on Friday and our ward is having a pig-pickin' and trunk-or-treat on Saturday evening. As we're approaching the holidays, our calendar is getting busier and busier, but it is filled with lots of fun things! It is so exciting to see Joshua join in all of our fun family traditions, making them even better and more memorable :)

Oh, and a side note: do all babies find the strangest things absolutely hillarious? David was reading a book to Joshua the other night, and when he pointed to the chair, he said, "Chair...sit!" and Joshua giggled. This, of course, encouraged David to say it again, making Joshua laugh even harder...this cycle repeated itself until Joshua was laughing so hard he could barely breathe. So, when I was pushing Joshua in the swing at the park today, I thought about this and said, "Chair...sit!" to him again--he totally remembered, and just threw his head back and let out those wonderful deep belly baby laughs. I couldn't help but laugh in response...so there we were: "Chair...sit!", Joshua laughing, and me laughing...over and over again.

Such sweet and precious moments that I don't ever want to forget.
