Happy Halloween!

All Hollow's Eve...Eve

Getting ready for Jacob's first Halloween! I'm sure he can't wait to get his slobbery paws on some unwrapped candy. Hmmm..I think not:)

Crabby Patty

Jacob is in one funk of a crabby mood today. Though he slept through the night completely (7-7 yay!!), he's been crying, screaming and whining all day. Thank goodness he gave me 5 minutes of snuggle time (rare) and that I put a new picture on my desktop to remind me of how cute he usually is. When it feels like it's getting to be too much, I take a 2 minute break and look at it, then back to the chaos. Half way through the day, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a better afternoon.

Catch-up

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. We've been keeping ourselves very busy to combat the dreary days of fall. Today it's off to Chapters and Ikea for a nice afternoon out of the house.

Here are some of the new developments with Jacob, who is now just over 4 months old, and already 15lbs 10 oz!

He is getting very good at tummy time, and holding his head up

Big smiles, as usual

Looking a little more like Paul every day-especially in plaid!


Jacob has discovered his tongue! He loves to stick it out and watch our reactions

And finally, it has been really neat to watch him learn a little more each day. He is mastering the reach and grab and he loves to bring everything to his mouth for a little taste:)

I promise to try a little harder to keep this blog updated (sorry Mom). Looking a head this week, Jacob will have his first Halloween, and I have a very special homemade costume for him. Bzzzz.....

We Love Fall!

Fall is one of my favorite times of year (actually, I think I like all season changes-just a little less for winter). I love how the air gets crisp and the colours change. Cold air seems to carry the smells of wood burning fireplaces, restaurants, and wet leaves so well. It's also the perfect time of year to pull out the cozy sweaters-especially those made by Memere:) Here is Jacob enjoying a fall afternoon walk in his sweater set made with love <3

Fall Family Fun

This weekend we went apple picking, a favorite activity of mine, at the orchard where we were married. It was nice to be back there and to have Jacob with us:)

Paul had to climb a tree to get the 'best' apples:)

The delicious apple cheese tart I made with our pickings

For Uncle Matt

Go Habs Go!
