The hunt for a blanket in October

Today, we spent a large part of the day out of the house...on an insane hunt for the perfect blanket for Jack (don't ask). Eight hours later, we returned home, blanket-less with one tired baby. He essentially only took one nap (pictured above). He's sockless, not because we took him out that way, but because when we thought he was sleeping, he was really in the stroller, eating the sock after having pulled it off his foot with his teeth, er, gums.


Once we returned from this long day we promptly put the overly-tired Jack to bed after a quick change into pajamas and a bottle. For a baby who spent most of the evening a little grumpy since he was SO tired, we were rather surprised to find this scene an hour after we'd put him to bed..........

Apparently, he was just happy to be home and unrestrained....working on crawling, laughing, and saying ay-ay-ay-ay, ba-ba-ba, and (sadly for mommy) da-da-da-da-da. I am happy to report, though, that Jack is blissfully off in la-la land (for now).
