Happy Fall

Fall is my favorite. There's nothing better, especially in Texas, than stepping outside in the morning and getting little chill bumps. We usually have to wait a little longer than everyone else for it to actually be fall but when it comes it's like magic's in the air. Ahhhhh, I love it. 

This year fall gave us a pretty good head fake. A couple of weeks with waking up to the 40's and getting into the 70's during the day really got me thinking it was actually here - bring on the jeans and cardigans, bust out the grill, and let's actually use the backyard. It was awesome. Then it was like a mean trick - days back in the 90's, humidity galore, and I was in jeans. Disgusting. 

So this is my letter to fall. 

Dear fall, please come back. We really like you. Remember the good times we had a couple weeks ago? Maybe these pictures will remind you. I hear you're coming back this weekend, I hope you'll get comfortable and stay awhile. Love, Tyan

Mmmmmm, rope.

This is what Brody was doing right before he started walking. We called him our little silver back. 

And just like that...

he walks! I can't believe it, he's getting so big so fast. (can you tell by the too small shorts? It was laundry day. :)

He's been taking steps for a couple of weeks now. Two or three here and there. Then last week he just decided he was going to walk! It is so cute. Most of the time it's with his arms straight up in the air, like they're in his way or something.




And usually he's screaming the whole time. I'm not sure if it's because he's so excited to be walking, or if it's because he's mimicking what I did when he walked for the first time, or if it's because his new favorite thing to do is play chase. Probably a combination of the three. But I love it. And he couldn't be more proud of himself.

Oh the irony...

Even more ironic - he bit me while I was blogging this. Heeeeeee's a biter.
