A Few of the Many Pictures to Post!

Here are a few of the many pictures I need to blog about! We've been super busy this weekend. A lot of ups and downs, mostly ups! Saturday I worked and then we attended a downtown fall festival, Megan dressed up in her costume. She requested to be an apple with a worm coming out! Sunday we had the kids pictures taken as well as some family shots. I can't wait to see them! We will get a CD and then be able to print whatever we want so that's great! We also went to Fisher's Pumpkin Patch and Central Diary for ice cream. More pictures to come, this is just a teaser of sorts! Enjoy!

Jacob's Crawling!

Pictures coming soon! Jacob started crawling 2 days ago on the 15th! He is a man on the move now and it's great. He still prefers to be on his feet but he seems to like his floor time a bit more now again! Megan is cutting on the lines, she can cut out circles, triangles, squares, etc. We have a busy weekend of fall festivities and if all goes well we will have the kids pictures taken on Sunday!

Jacob's Cruising!

Wow, Jacob is nearly 7 months now and he's changed a lot. He is cruising furniture and tonight he made his way around the corners of the leapfrog table. He is making movements toward crawling as well, Michael saw him move his hand and knee at the same time yesterday! He is moving all over the place on his tummy. The scary thing is that when he stands up holding onto things, it's usually with only 1 hand and then he doesn't mind letting go and balances for a second and then tumbles of course! No fear at all!

It's crazy, he is also eating like a horse. He eats 1 and a half containers of baby food 3 times a day plus oatmeal each time as well. He nurses all the time still but we are hoping it will taper off soon! Who knows what will happen in the next month!

Ha, here he is trying to tear the wet wipe in two! It was funny to watch and this picture just sums it up. He's so strong.
Taking drinks from a straw cup. At this point he actually prefers the plain straw to the spill-proof straw but he's just going to have to get used to it! I'm still amazed he can drink from a straw!
Biter biscuit time, so messy but so worth it!
It looks like he's checking out behind him for traffic!
Beep, beep! Megan and Jacob seem to love driving their cars outside on the carport!

Phantom of The Opera!

Michael's mom, sister, and I went to the Fox Theater to see Phantom of the Opera on Saturday. We had a great time. It's the first time the three of us were without kiddos...ever I think! The kids did great with Michael of course! The show was amazing, the music, costumes, props, everything! Now I can't wait to go again! Megan keeps asking why I went to Phantom of the Opera without her. I just keep telling her when your older. Megan and I are planning to go see the Nutcracker in December so that should be fun!

So while I was gone I missed Jacob drinking from a straw...an actual plain straw, who knew! And I missed him making big strides toward crawling and Megan is now a "puzzle master"...it was still worth it to see Phantom!

Cute!

Here is Megan helping my mom make fish. She can actually do quite a bit in the kitchen these days!
Cute picture of the kids in their Sunday clothes!
See....Jacob does more than just smile!

Megan actually held a baby kitten when she was at Michael's parents house. It is cute...
Megan is helping Sue with the dishes from the cupcakes they made. She is quite the helper these days!
