Mr. Serious

Well, here we are after voting in our city council primary (photo graciously provided by our beloved former landlady, Heather Rayburn, who also brought her Jack Russel to the polls). The voter turnout was pathetic, or apathetic...but we were still pleased with the outcome and it was fun to show Myles how to vote. It has been a Mr. Serious week around here. Seems like Myles woke up with a new personality this week, he has been tight-lipped, and we are so used to seeing hundreds of smiles. He's been a bit cranky, so we are wondering whether he's teething (no signs of it when we look or feel his gums) or perhaps he's just frustrated with this crawling thing. He gets up on his hands and knees, and can move both is legs and now his arms, but hasn't put it all together yet. He has the energy to be crawling circles around the house, but is hard at work on the skill and I imagine it's a frustrating place to be. Today was the first cool day of the year, with temperatures not reaching 70 degrees. Fall! We are happy it's finally arrived. Myles wore his new/used hat today for the first time, and we realized very quickly that he needs some mittens and boots to go with it!
