Watch Me Grow!

Nothing new to report. Upon picking Edison up, friends exclaim "what a brick!" Yes - he is solid. So the photo of MY gym is posted above - yes, Edison's size means that no other heavy lifting is required. I'm sure I'll get a good laugh someday for considering Edison of large size at this point, because he really is so small & cute as a button. But - it is quite obvious he is no longer a newborn. When I pick him up, I can hoist him to my chest so that he looks over my shoulder & he will hug me while I carry him. He is also very good at keeping his head up now, so only one arm is required for that hold. Also, we can face him out when using the pouch. So now I spend about 2-4 hours a day with the pouch on doing various things around the house, while Edison peeks out and enjoys seeing what is happening.
After the remnants of tropical storm Hannah passed through, we seem to be enjoying our first taste of fall here in New England. It still gets up to 80 during the day, but it cools off at night and one might even describe moments as being "crisp."

Remember when I wrote that Edison is smiling a lot now? Here's the proof. I swear it will make your heart melt!
This is Edison's typical gym attire. What you can't see are his Nike booties. Very sensible shoes. I really wish he had a sweat band to complete the ensemble.
Cheering for the Patriots during their season-opener. Too bad about Brady being out.

Uhhh, you talking to me?!

Ahhhh. All tuckered out after a long day, Edison curls up on the couch with dad. Edison has pretty much outgrown the swaddle blankets, so it is on to the "Dreamsie" gown. He can kick his heart out while still wearing it.
