Halloween 2009

Anyone remember our little dinosaur last Halloween?

This Halloween was WAY more fun.
Even though Jacob would only keep his elephant hat on for about
10 seconds at a time, and that was only because it was velcroed. Fortunately,
he seemed unfazed by the extra padding around his middle.
We started the evening at Rachel and Nate's.
Here's Milo as a "baby chick" and the elephant.

Playin' Hookie



Jacob stayed home from daycare with Mike on Friday, so to make up for missing the costume party planned that day they came to visit me at work. Jacob showed off his crawling skills for some colleagues, got to sit at my desk, and hung out with Brian. As hard as he tried, Jacob's energy was no match for Mike's -- he gave a good fight, never even took a nap, but was in bed by 7pm. Lightweight.

Catching up & 14 months

We've had a busy couple of weeks but I haven't been as vigilant about capturing things on film. Jacob and I visited Richmond a couple weekends ago and it was also Nancy's 20th high school reunion weekend. Hard to believe. So she and Steve spent the evening out on the town.
Then Rae came to visit us from Austin (it took a little work to get Jacob to focus on smiling for the camera as you can see by our pose.)
And, finally, today Jacob is 14 months. He is one busy busy body; he babbles with purpose, especially in the morning when it's only in the early half of the 6am hour and we just want to sleep; he says a distinct "bye bye" and waves; he points and likes to give you things as long as you give them back. He has perfected his clap (see above video), can raise one eyebrow higher than the other (not necessarily on purpose), and he's developed a very sly smile which he knows how to use. Aunt Nancy claims he took four steps over the weekend while she was babysitting, but as no one else was there and he hasn't done it again, we're skeptical. That's just a glimpse into little Jacob's big personality at 14 montharoos.

Trucks and such






This weekend we went to a "truck touch" where Jacob got to climb on a tractor and in a school bus (among other vehicles), then we brunched with Sarah and Henry, and ended the weekend with a lovely dinner at Aunt Nancy's in celebration for Pepaw, Beverly, Aunt Nancy, and Ernesto's birthdays.
