Walter and I have been keeping very busy. We have been making multiple batches of applesauce* every day and storing it away for the winter. Matthew, on the other hand, has been keeping busy baking applesauce cakes, making applesauce pancakes, and I could go on. So there might not be that much applesauce left for this winter after all. (Just teasing, my love! Please continue making delicious things for me to eat.)
Walt had a lovely little birthday party this afternoon with his dear friend, Mr. Simon (see picture #4). We feasted on an applesauce pumpkin cake which was very tasty and largely popular with both small boys.
Two exciting Walter updates:
He has been sleeping through the night! We put him to bed in the pack-n-play and he stays asleep till morning! I've been nursing him in the dark and then putting him into the pack-n-play. He cries a bit, and then lies down and goes to sleep. He's been waking up so well rested and cheerful (and so have I). I must admit, I have crept out of bed multiple times during the night to make sure he's still breathing...
He has begun feeding himself! He has finally mastered the art of picking up food and putting it into his mouth. However, this means anything within reach is fair game. I have been fishing leaves and other such hazards out of his mouth all day.
And now, he is asleep, and I am off to make a cup of tea.
Goodnight, all.
*As some of you know, we scored 100 lbs. of apples for $15 last week, thanks to the Land Conservancy Project. Picked 'em ourselves, too.
