Catching up...

sakon76We're running late this year. Our Christmas cards just got mailed out and our tree put up today. Squiddle had a grand time with the latter - he's big enough now to be putting ornaments on the tree. Though for the next several years, at least, all the ornaments are going to be wood and fabric and my nigh-unbreakable vintage plastic ones!
Squiddle is actually quite the character at this point. The other day, I picked out a blue t-shirt with some cartoonish figures in a plane, a train, and an automobile, and plain black shorts to go with it. He rejected the shorts I chose and insisted on wearing a pair of tan plaid shorts instead. His reasoning? "Now I look like Daddy." Um, Wonderful Husband is not prone to wearing shorts or trousers that look like they belong on a golf course, so... no? My best guess is that Wonderful Husband often wears blue shirts and tan slacks.
(And, relatedly, why DO so many of the shorts/trousers options for little boys look like hideous plaid golfing wear?)
Jazzy, meanwhile, has a very sweet smile, is quite willing to be amused, and has finally started sleeping through the night. He also, at three months old, weighs 14 pounds. This amuses me because his weight is one stone, and his first name means "stone" and his last name means "stone village." :)

For the plaid golf shorts/trousers ... maybe they companies are hoping the kids will grow up to like the G.O.L.F. game?
Either that, or the thinking at the time of designing was "can't go wrong with these colors" / this style goes great with everything.
You're not the only one running behind.
Still haven't sent my cards out (one or two might be belated, but the others should still arrive within a day or two of Sunday's no-mail-delivery.
Haven't made up my mind weather I like the fact that Autumn's fall/winter colors have come LATE - (still had green leaves on deciduous trees last week of November), but I don't mind the not-quite-freezing-temperature lows. (some crops might be drastically affected by the unseasonably warm fall and lack of winter temps, but it's nice to be able to go outside without needing to bundle up in three layers),
