When Louissa writes about autumn evenings at Mom’s house, this is what she means.

***

When I was a baby, as I’m told, I would hesitate at every little threshold — forget about actual stairs — and take forever to get up the courage to take a step. Jameson, on the other hand, gets a total thrill out of stepping onto this fan he found laying on the ground.

See this hot-shot face? He thinks he’s awesome when he’s up on that fan.

These are for Lore. Okay, and for me, too. They’re shots from a store I happened upon yesterday. I loved a couch in there, and few other things, but mostly, I loved the paint colors. Totally. loved. them.

As we strolled along, what should we happen to see but a wooden duckling, waddling out of a shop, dressed in rain coat, hat, and galoshes.

But wait! Not just one! Look — a whole little family! Who could resist such a brood of ducklings? (Brood? Do ducklings come in broods?)

***

Jameson loves to give hugs and kisses. His favorite person to kiss is his daddy, and especially when he’s up on Daddy’s shoulders. See?

(Just watch out; those big slobbery kisses can quickly turn into a huge bite out of your cheek!)

This evening we brought Jameson to the playground, where he enjoyed swinging,

eating cedar chips,

and — hey, what’s this?

Oh, right. The new favorite playground activity: watching YouTube:

Jameson has grown in his expressions. Yes, he’s a total ham.

And so I leave you with The Many Faces of Jameson:

    Jameson is adorable. I sure hope I get to meet him in person some day. :)

    As always, your parent’s house looks so inviting. I love all the candles. Actually I just love candles. I was just telling Norm the other day it is so funny to me how such a little thing, a candle, calms and soothes me like it does.

    Those paint colors are amazing. I like the cabinet of off-white dishes myself. I like the palette, the white/off-white furnishings with the color on the walls. It seems calm to me. I hope we move again soon so I can change paint colors and such again. I think what I have chosen suits this house but I am ready for change.

    So glad you are home safe and sound.

    What a little man he has become! Very cute.

    I’ve been meaning to ask you where you got Jameson’s toggle coat last winter? I’m having a hard time finding snow suits I would actually put on my child. :)
