Fall is here!

The weather has been absolutely wonderful the past few days allowing us the chance to actually "play" outside for the first time.  You see, up until now it has been so blazing hot that we couldn't stay out for long.  Also since he just started walking, most of his time outside was spent crawling through muck and over concrete {scraping his the leg he drags as he went},  tasting experiencing nature, and playing on the stairs.  That made for a stressful, not so fun outside time for Mommy.  Tuesday I decided to try taking him to a walking trail we have by the lake and it was so much fun!  There was actually enough wide open space for him to roam without me constantly worrying about stairs, drop-offs, or concrete.  Add to that the unbeatable temp, the fact that he's walking really well,  and the improvement in his ability to distinguish food from sticks, and you've got yourself a fun playtime.  We're looking forward to more days at the park!

We didn't last long once Miller found the lake.  He wanted to walk right in.  We had a solid half hour of playtime before he discovered it though.  It made for one hungry, sleepy baby!
