busy month

I have been so bad about updating this... posting just once a month! but keeping Vaughn busy all day wears me out, so by 7pm, after we eat dinner, all I want to do is zone out with the TV. all you mamas out there know what I mean!

a few things we have done since the last post: travelled to Kingsburg for Cory's going away shower. SO GREAT to have all the girls together! went to the Begonia Festival in Capitola and saw the pretty floats. walked around the Art & Wine Festival, admiring the beautiful weather and amazing artists. went to the County Fair and saw all sorts of animals and exhibits! can't wait for next year when Vaughn can really enjoy the animals.

anyway, September has proved to be a growing up month for our baby boy too. he is officially sleeping in his crib in his own room. the switch from the co-sleeper in our room to his crib was so much easier than I was anticipating. he sleeps like a champ (most nights) and loves his freedom. also, last Tuesday was our last nursing. he is adjusting better than me! he takes his bottle very well and we are trying to find what formula is best for his sensitive tummy... we are trying soy at the moment. he is also getting his two bottom teeth and is chewing on everything and drooling everywhere! sometimes I don't know how this kid keeps producing so much spit! I think he has entered the attachment phase because he wants to be held constantly. its doesn't matter who, as long as someone is holding him. becomes pretty draining when it is just us all day, but Keith hasn't travelled all month, so it has been AMAZING having him home for so long.

I have also been super busy planning my 10 year class reunion. go Vikings! it is this weekend so I am anxious to be eating and drinking with old classmates and be able to put the planning behind me. I will be sure to post about that. I found a cute dress to wear and I am excited to see everyone! plus, that means we get to stay at Grandma's for the weekend so Vaughn gets lots of Grammy attention and Mommy gets a little break! fun for everyone!
