Kipper Graduate

Noah graduated from his first set of swimming lessons at the YMCA and was quite proud about that fact. 

Jacob....you will have to wait a little longer for a dip in the pool.

Hyde Park Halloween Festival

It was off to the church festival on Sunday evening.....Noah got a trial-run in his new dinosaur costume and with temps in the 60's....it was almost perfect.

Of course he enjoyed the bouncy house as well as anything.  It became a chore to get him back out of the house.

Noah also appears to have learned that his smile and good manners will get him everywhere.  After making the day of some nice ladies at early voting prior to the festival, he was right back at it. 

He couldn't eat all of his candy fast enough.

Pumpkin

Saturday AM was the perfect time for carving a pumpkin.  We carved a Noah-sized pumpkin and a Jacob-sized pumpkin.  After the first pumpkin, Noah remembered that he had forgotten to watch Dora the Explorer on TV but was fascinated nonetheless with the finished Jack-o-lanterns upon his return.

Jacob @ Four Months

Jacob went to his four month exam at the pediatrician one week ago.  He weighed in at 16 lbs and 1 oz  which put him in the 75th percentile.  He was 25 inches tall which placed him the 50th percentile.  We will check back on the stats in December for his six month visit.

Coming Soon

Halloween is just around the corner!

Hands-On

They learn at such an early eage these days.  Jacob is a quick study.

Almost Halloween

It was time to find a pumpkin and we found a spot that had plenty.  Jacob had a good time hanging out with Mom and looking around at all the other infants on hand. 

Noah had a good time rolling pumpkins.  He only took on a couple that he couldn't quite move.

This place...

...ain't big enough for the two of us. Noah....it's time to go.

Tacos

Sunday was a beautiful afternoon to go have tacos and sit outside.

Puzzling

Perhaps this wasn't so puzzling after all to Noah.  We broke out his four-foot fire engine puzzle the other night and, with some guidance, Noah completed the whole thing.  Ever since, we work on that puzzle every night....with the exception of this evening where a good round of horseplay with pillows took priority.

Hangin' Out

Noah is now fascinated with the bumbo seat.  Jacob is either working on his neck muscles or using the bumbo as a Lazy Boy. 

Ice Cream on Vacation

He really did enjoy it even though the picture may indicate otherwise.

Scenes from the Beach

Mom and Noah were all smiles on the first day as a storm was passing by Port Aransas.

We even found time for a quick family photo.

Noah was a little tentative at the beach but by the second day he fully embraced it.

Randall and Lisa were all smiles.

Randall even built some pyramids.

Scenes from the Pool

Brothers

It must have been a pretty good vacation.....

.....because these two are getting along quite well.  More on our weekend adventure in the coming days.

Flash Cards

Noah recently began calling out letters that he sees in certain places (on the TV, the mail, refrigerator magnets, etc).  Because we just so happened to have them, we broke out his Cat in the Hat alphabet cards and quizzed the little guy.  Seems that he has been learning something at school. He got almost 2/3 of them correct on multiple attempts.
