Well, actually 13 month old! I can't seem to stay caught up on my blogging! A lot has happened since the last blog, but the big event was Jacob's 1st birthday. I can't believe it has been a year already! For Jacob's birthday, we took a 3 week trip to Wisconsin. We had a family birthday party for Jacob at Joe's parent's cabin. We got to see many of our friends and family while home! It was great getting to spend as much time as we did with everyone, but it felt good to be back home! Three weeks is a long time to gone and out of a routine!! Jacob started walking 2 weeks before his 1st birthday and hasn't slowed down since! He loves reading, skyping with the family and playing with other kids. He is drinking cow's milk and eating all table food. He's not a big fan of veggies, and would goldfish and peaches for every meal if we'd let him! He's getting to be such a little man!

Baby #2
It's a Boy! We found out just days before we went on our trip that we are having another baby boy. As much as I would like to experience a girl, I'm excited to have a second boy. It will be so much fun for Jacob to have a little brother to grow up with. They will only be 16 months apart. This also makes it easier on me since I really don't need anything for the new baby. He will move into Jacob's nursery and Jacob will move into his big boy room. Which, hasn't been started yet. I feel like we are down to crunch time with only 3 months to go and the holidays right around the corner. The only things we need to do are get Jacob's room done and pick out a name. We are stumped when it comes to names. I feel like we have been through 500 boys names over and over and there isn't one that stands out yet. Hoping it will just come to us one day. I've been feeling pretty well and glad that we are moving out of the really hot summer months!
October Fun
We went to a fall festival that had a pumpkin patch, corn maze and a play area for children. Then we went to Oktoberfest in Celebration. It has been a great October so far and the weather has been gorgeous!
