Just a laid back weekend

We had quite a bit of work to do in our garden because so much of it is ready to eat!
Zucchini and green beans...we decided to preserve 2 ways:
Freezing for the winter (great for just taking out of the freezer and using in stir-fry)...
And we canned the rest
And turned this...
Into this! I love blackberries and am so glad that our plants have produced so many lately. I basically just go pick a big bowl of them every day. So delicious!
Besides being farmers, we also headed to the Farmer's market Saturday morning...
And apparently someone was worn out!
I look at this picture compared with his newborn pictures and realize how big he's getting! It really is crazy how fast kids grow. He will be 7 weeks Tuesday!

These details will probably be only interesting to me, but I want to remember where he was/how he was doing at this point. So far he's smiling and cooing a lot more lately and staying awake MUCH longer in between naps, ready to play and interact with us. He's been sleeping great at night, going to bed around 8ish, I "dream feed" at 9:30 or 10 when we go to sleep and then he only wakes up once to eat, and sleeps till 7 a.m. (the goal!) He also LOVES being outside (shocker since his Nate's child:) and if he is crying pretty much all I have to do is walk outside and he's mesmerized!
