Saturday John, Davis and I went with our friends Jarasa, Dave and Siri to the Middlesex Fells for a hike in the woods. The weather couldn't have been better, it was beautiful and you could feel the start of autumn coming on. We've found it's much easier to dress Davis for going out in the sun now that the weather is cooler..we can use pants and long sleeves without him getting too hot (and of course, his 'Indiana Jones' hat). Davis had a fantastic time on Dad's back in the hiking pack. He occassionally reached out for trees if John got too close. We had a great time getting to know Jarasa, Dave and their daughter Siri. Siri and Davis had synchronized naps about halfway through the hike and slept for the remainder of it. Saturday night, Dave and Megan came over for dinner, we realized Megan hadn't seen Davis since the end of July! He impressed them with his sweet potato eating ability. We had to refill the bowl three times!!
Today felt like a growth-spurt for Davis. He napped most of the day (unprecedented amounts really) and when he was awake, he was eating. He had pumpkin today for the first time and loved it! For John and I it was mostly a chore day. Looking back, I did a crazy amount of cooking: French toast with goat cheese and orange fig spread and a broccoli roasted red pepper fritatta for breakfast. Then I made oat scones and roasted a sugar pumpkin for Davis (which I pureed and froze). I followed that up with quinoa muffins and red beans and rice. John made a mole enchilada casserole and I made a gargantuan fruit salad. We took a bunch of the food to our friends' place for dinner (they have a 2.5week old). When we got back I then assembled a strata for breakfast. I think I feel like I've caught up on my desire to cook. John removed the air conditioners from the windows and put up the wall decorations in Davis' room we ordered last week (pictures coming, I forgot to take some before Davis went to bed).
