A lot has happened since my last blog, so I will try to keep it short because I have a ton of pictures!!
We took a trip back to Wisconsin to see family and friends. It was great being back and we enjoyed the break from the Florida heat! We weren't sure how Jacob was going to do on the plane, but he did great! He slept through both flights!

And there were many more!! While in Wisconsin, Joe and I had a chance to go to a Badger game with Kim and Matt. It was a blow-out, but a lot of fun!! It was nice to get out and do something!
We had a great time in Wisconsin but it is always nice to get home and back into somewhat of a routine!
Halloween
We didn't go trick or treating for Halloween, but we did take a walk around the neighborhood. Here is our little Pumpkin!

We have a thumb sucker...
Yes, that is right! Joe and I discouraged it at first and would take it out of his mouth. But when he started crying in the middle of the night because he couldn't get his thumb in his mouth, we were hoping that he would figure it out quick. He is getting much better at it. It's really cute to watch! He would start at his forehead and drag his thumb down his face until he hit his mouth. We still can hear him at night trying to get it in but he usually gets it before getting too frustrated...thank goodness!
2 Months!!
Wow, two months already! Jacob can hold his head up pretty well now and is much more alert while awake. When we look at him and smile, he will smile back. His happiest time is still in the morning when he first gets up. He is a smiling machine. He loves being outside, listening to music and when we hold him in the air (flying). He is sleeping really well. He has started pulling longer shifts in between feedings. He is only getting up 1-2 times each night. We had his 2 month appointment a couple of weeks ago. He is in the 50-75% for head circumference, 50% for weight and 10-25% for height. Lord, help him! I really hope that he starts growing and doesn't end up with his mom's height challenge! It was very sad watching him get his shots! We have never seen him cry like that. He had a slight fever later that day, but other than that, it didn't seem to bother him.
Jocob's Life in a Nutshell...
Sometimes he smiles...
Sometimes he laughs...
Sometimes he drinks too much...
And then passes out!
Have a great week everyone! And as always, thanks for checking in with us!
Much Love,
Joe, Jenny, Jacob, Belle, Finley and Zoe
