Halloween Fun

Charlie Banks had a fun first Halloween!  We went to the pumpkin patch before Jimmy left and went trick or treating with Harper and Hudson on Halloween.  They live in such a fun neighborhood with a TON of kids.  He was the cutest frog I have ever seen!

Fall in the Mountains

I have really been looking forward to going to the mountains in the fall for quite some time!  Past fall weekends have been busy cheering on my dads teams so I knew we wanted to see the leaves change this year.  Jimmy’s parents came with us.  We stopped in Asheville for a night again this trip and really enjoyed ourselves.  We went to a few breweries, Salsa’s for lunch, Curate for dinner, and Tupelo Honey for breakfast before hitting the road.  On the way into town we stopped and picked some apples!  The rest of the trip contained our usual stops…Linville Falls Winery, Grandfather Winery, Banner Elk Winery, Flat Top Brewery, Appalachian Mountain Brewery, Blowing Rock, Come Back Shack, Foscoe Country Corner, etc…  We also got to visit one of Jimmy’s bff from hs Brendan and his wife Valentine and meet their sweet new addition, Wiley!  We had such a great time and I am ready to go back already!  The leaves didn’t disappoint and it was perfect fall weather.  fyi: jimmy forgot his sunglasses and sported an extra pair of mine the whole trip.  Ha!

9 Months

Our sweet baby is 9 months old!  He is eating pretty much everything…except peanut butter (more on that to come!).  He loves toast in the morning…I either spread hummus or avocado on it.  He love yo baby yogurt.  Quesadillas.  Applesauce.  Watermelon.  Everything else is pretty hit or miss depending on his mood.  He has 6 teeth…that he loves to use to bite me!  We are working on ending that asap!  He has mastered the art of pitching a fit if I take something away from him…which is very comical!  He is a fast crawler and is getting into everything all over the house.  He is pulling up to a stand more and more everyday.  He loves to “brush his teeth”, but gets very angry if I try to actually brush them.  He loves riding in the ergo.  He is nursing 4-5 times a day depending on if he nurses in the middle of the night.  He loves baby einstein in the morning while we are still “waking up”.  He enjoys our walks and golf cart rides.  Happy 3/4 of a year to our little buddy!
