Lately

We've been being silly in the bath.

I managed to do a little canning yesterday afternoon. This is the first time I've canned since having Isaac and it's so nice to feel like i have a little time to do something i love to do. Of course David was there helping with Isaac so that made it possible.

I love canning so much. And my favorite thing to can is jam. I've found that i have quite a talent for jam making and mixing fruit to make the most delicious flavors. If i ever wanted to have my own business it would be a Jam boutique. Too bad I never want to have my own business. I guess I'll just make delicious jams for my family and friends.

We've been enjoying the backyard. The weather has been wonderful and Isaac love to look at the leaves and listen to all the sounds. I'm so happy the fall is rolling in but I'm not looking forward to the day that it's too cold to go and lay on the grass with Isaac. Hopefully he'll be grabbing toys and playing a bit more independently by then.

Isaac has been growing and has managed to outgrow his hospital blanket. We came in one morning to find that he had kicked halfway out of it and the past couple days he's kicked entirely out of it. Time to pull out the bigger blankets.

Sharing Ray Ray's bed. I put Isaac in it after feeding him one time and ray ray jumped up and gave me this look that said "No this is my bed not his" but he still shared for a few minutes.

I've decided that Isaac does have a bit of a dairy allergy but not a really severe one. I think the only thing that really affects him is milk itself. I can have some cheese and it doesn't bother him but i can't have cereal in the morning (thus the jam) or cookies and milk or anything like that. I haven't bothered to try ice cream because i figure that will give him problems. But at least I'm not cut off from all dairy and hopefully he'll be OK with milk in a month or so.

I've also been reading like crazy. The past couple weeks have been dedicated to the Harry Potter series and i loved them! I'm glad i waited to read them until they were all out because I don't think I would have liked waiting a year or so in between books. And now i can't wait to watch all the movies. Perfect timing on all this if you ask me! I also am almost through the Hunger Games series as well and those books are awesome too! I think after this I'll have to take a week or so off of reading or my house will go completely to shambles and I'll never get out of my pajama's again. What can i say i love a good book! (Thanks Bridget for lending my some great books!)
