Halloween Continued...

The morning after-"Mama open this. Jakie needs it"
Candy is good! Even kitty cats think so.

Did you say candy? Look at the concentration on their faces. Can you tell what they are working on eating?

Grammie came trick or treating too.
I get candy?

We had a great Halloween. It was so much fun this year. We got to be with family and good friends. The Quicks served us an excellent dinner as always and hosted the festivities. Jake really loved his costume and he was pretty fond of the trick or treating too, especially since he got to go with his buddies Sofia and Peter. But most of all he is really digging the candy. Did you catch that in the pictures? I can't wait for Christmas it is going to be lots of fun this year!

Grandpa's In China

Jake's grandpa went to China in September on vacation. Somehow Jake got it into his head that Grandpa had gone all the way to China to get him some glasses. We have absolutely no idea where he got that idea, but he was absolutely sure that was grandpa's whole reason for going to China. We made sure that grandpa knew to get some glasses before he got home. It would have been big trouble for grandpa if he came home without a pair. In the picture above you can see the glasses he came back with and the panda that Jake absolutely loves.

Time To Catch Up

Things have been a little hectic lately. Dan has been out of commission for almost a month now and I am having a little bit of trouble keeping up with everything. I thought I would give everyone a few pictures to tide them over until things settle down a little.

Can you tell I like cake?
Oh and presents!
Jake thought that Maggie needed a birthday hat too!

Jake is now officially two. He weighs 27.8 pounds and is 39.5 inches tall. Jake is talking up a storm and putting together lots of words. We have kind of lost count because we just can't keep up. He has started to be a climber, which we were truly hoping to avoid. Pretty soon he will be sleeping in a big boy bed. Yikes! He loves to eat pickles, chips, and meat. Until his birthday if you asked him what he wanted to eat he would say meat, even for breakfast. But since his birthday he has been asking for birthday cake. As you can tell by the pictures he is a big fan of cake. My favorite new thing that Jake does is give me nose kisses. He is absolutely the sweetest little thing any mama could ask for. I am truly one lucky mama.

Go to the Quicks link to see pictures from our camping trip. I was a bad mama and forgot my camera.

The 4th of July

Pushing The Stroller

Hanging In The Pool With Sofia

Playing With Peter

Cruising Along

Bouncy House(another new word)

Cookies!!!

We had a fun filled 4th of July. Our neighborhood had its annual block party. There were lots of family and friends around. It was a long busy day, I don't think Jake stopped moving from the time he woke up from his nap until 9:30 at night. We jumped in the bouncy house, played in the pool, played with friends, and ate lots of cookies. I have to say his favorite part of the day was probably pushing Sofia's baby and stroller around. He probably pushed that stroller around for a good hour.
