First cold ever!! Summer 2013 wrap-up

I guess I should be thankful that my little guy is 13 months old and just woke up with his first cold this morning.  We've definitely been super lucky in the sick department. He's cranky, has a runny nose, a cough, and I can hear it in his chest when he breathes....poor little guy 

:(

So needless to say we are spending the day curled up under the blankets and napping as much as possible!  

I've kinda been slacking on the blog this summer, still trying to figure out where the time has gone.....here are some pics from our summer of 2013!

Hiding in the pantry!

Up to no good!

Smelling the fake flowers

Wearing mom's sunglasses around Wegmans

Now likes to stand on top of toys rather than sit!......scary!!

As summer is now officially over as far as I'm concerned I'm actually super excited for the Fall and all that it brings.  I'm thinking pleasant thoughts of hit apple cider, pumpkin cookies at Scripts, Fall decorating, and if course.....a Halloween costume for Jack!!! I'm ready for Fall weather to! NOT snow by any means just yet but id def welcome cooler more mild temps.  I'm itching to break out my leggings and boots, comfy sweaters, and snugly nights with my boys.  

So as far as a Jack update goes, he's got a mouth full if teeth, is running all over the place, has a crazy obsession with my little broom and dustpan AND the electric toothbrush, likes to smell the flowers wether they are real or fake, and pretty much only says "uh-oh" and "hot".  He's now taking a liking to reading books which I'm thrilled about until I've read the farm animal book for the 12th time before 9:30am! I keep all of his hard books that he won't ruin the pages (unless he chews on them) at his level so he can reach them anytime.  All other books are up a little higher for now, I just don't want him ruining all of his million books....kids got quite the collection!

We've been to the beach quite a bit this summer and each time we went Jack got more and more daring with the water.  Now as soon as his feet touch the sand he bolts right for the water, or the nearest  seagull LOL.

Our first ride on a sail boat!  Right after this pic he decided that he hated the life jacket and wanted off the boat, it was really hot and probably not the best idea BUT we tried!
