Ready for Fall!

Jake and I had a fun day today!  He is finally feeling better and slept through the night last night.  He slept in until 7:00 and was up and playing.  We went to music class for the second time and he did so much better than last week.  He was, again, the center of attention as he was screeching and "singing" along to the songs.  He's really starting to bounce to the music now and was even on beat at times!  He chose a drum to play during instrument time and grabbed the mallet that went with it.  He would hit the drum as hard as he could and look for me and smile.

Racing!

Daddy has been teaching Jake "touchdown."  Daddy will put his arms in the air and say it.  Jake is catching on and will put one arm in the air and say "Da."  It's a work in progress, but I'm sure he'll have it mastered by Superbowl time.

Trying to figure out how to take the scarecrows down

We have started to get out the Halloween and fall decorations.  I put some scarecrow window clings on the patio window and Jake has a blast with them.  He peels them off and scrunches them in his hands.  Then he'll try to stick it back on the window.  They have since been moved up higher so they will actually stay on the window longer than 30 seconds.  Now, he tries to stand and peel them off.

Still no luck with finding a Halloween costume.  We searched at Target today, but nothing stood out.  We'll try again next week.  Heading to a little place called "Monkey Bizness" tomorrow.  It's a brand new place where infants through toddlers go to play.  It has lots of playground type structures, but it's all indoors.  It is also a little cafe for the parents.  I'll be sure to bring the camera.


Lots of random pictures tonight from last week.  Some from Jake and Angela's playdate and others of Jake and Daddy racing down the hallway.  Enjoy!

Carolynn, Angela, me, & Jake...oh and Addy, too!
