Happy Halloween!

For Halloween, we took our little Yoda around the neighborhood trick or treating.  We started off with the dog and about 4 houses down realized that that was a bad idea!  Jacob was more interested in walking the dog than he was actually trick or treating.  We ended up taking Belle home and then continuing on our way.  Jacob wasn't too sure at first and by the 3rd house he started warming up.  About half way through, he was picking his own candy out of the dish and waving at people.  Even though, he couldn't eat the candy, he sure tried!  He had a couple of successful attempts through the wrapper!  Our neighborhood is pretty slow on Halloween, so our neighbors were happy that we were out and about! 

Mmmm...Candy!

 

C'mon people, answer the door already!

Moving on up....

A few weeks ago, Jacob was moved up in his daycare to the next class.  The Toddler Room!!  He loves it.  They are much more activate!  There were some big changes for him!  He no longer can sleep whenever he wants.  Nap time is from 12-2 and that's it.  He's still adjusting to that as there are many nights that he is exhausted and crabby when he gets home!  He can no longer have a nuk or sippy cup; he only can drink out of a regular cup.  He's doing really well with that part!  The benefits to this classroom is it's a lot more structured.  They have activities planned for the kids and they get to go outside and play too!  They work on their colors, numbers and artistic abilities.  The benefits to the parents is he can now participate in Parent's Night Out!  The second Friday of every month, they allow you to leave your children at daycare until 10pm.  Last night was our first one and it was nice!

Ready for School!  He looks so grown-up!

Baby Update

We are on the home stretch!  I'll be 31 weeks on Monday and I finally get to pick when this little guy is going to arrive.  We are shooting for January 7th, so I hope that works with the Dr's schedules.  We only have 8 weeks to go and we really haven't done anything.  We are just starting Jacob's big boy room this weekend.  He will move out of the nursery shortly after the baby arrives and into his new room with his big boy bed.  I've been buying a lot of the decor for his room.  It is going to Lego themed.  I'll post pictures when it is complete.  The baby has been super active and is a tough little guy!  I feel like I'm carrying him much higher than I did with Jacob because it's quite difficult to breath at times and he is constantly in my ribs!

30 Weeks!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
