A hodgepodge from today.

First up, a pretty good picture of JT's three top teeth.  You can also kind of see the fourth getting ready to come through his gums:

Next up are two pictures of JT making a mess at dinner tonight.  Jameson not only loves to eat, but he loves to try and feed himself.  The problem is that he's no good at it:

(His plastic bib is close to the best ten bucks we've spent on him--gotta love the bonus tray!)

Finally, tonight was USD's first men's basketball game.  Allison went for the whole thing, and JT and I walked up for the second half.  He had a great time, especially staring at the cheerleaders ("Nice pom-poms!").  Then he fell asleep.  Here he is with his mother once we got back:

"Me want to hug puppy..."

 

Kisses:

"Me want to hug puppy again..."

Puppies make good pillows:

One of them is ready to go for a walk:

More kisses:

"He's eating my fingers...." ("Tastes like chicken....  Baby chicken.")

Toes:

"Mommy, he said I smell funny.  Do I?"

If you ignore the peaches up his nose and the trail of slobber running down his chin(s), he's really cute in his intensity.

Jameson is a great sleeper.  He sleeps about 9-9.5 hours a night, and takes 2 good naps (2.5-3 hours) each day.  He can fall asleep in the strangest of places (a volleyball game, the bath tub, and--as you'll see below--his high-chair).

He's such a Littler.

Here are some pictures of him sleeping from the past two weeks:

Jameson's first Halloween, complete with pumpkin carving.

(We're off to Riverside for a conference tomorrow, so no pictures for a while.)

I know that some of you have been waiting for this.  So here is Jameson all decked out for Halloween:

 

Lots.

(Part 1 was here.)

This set of photos comes from our trip up San Jacinto via the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway: 

 

More pictures below the fold...

This past weekend, we took a trip to Palm Springs just to get away for a few days.  This was Jameson's second mini-vacation; we took him to Catalina Island a few months back. 

On Saturday morning, Jameson was so happy to be going that he did a little jig:

He enjoyed the drive there in his new car seat:

Our hotel (thanks to Tyler for the wonderful recommendation):

JT and AT check out the view off our balcony:

It was absolutely beautiful:

 

Resting after walking around town:

 

JT hangs out in his stroller while we had dinner at a fabulous pizza place in downtown Palm Springs:

Breakfast on Sunday morning on the patio.  First, bananas:

Then, espresso:

Caffiene makes a baby happy:

Just west of town is San Jacinto Peak:

On Sunday afternoon, we road the tram up to the top, thus taking JT up his first mountain.  The views were spectacular; I'll save those pictures for their own post.
