Jacobisms

I just want to post these so I remember them forever.

Daddy: "Jacob, that chocolate pudding on your face looks like poop"
Jacob: "Yummy poopy, Jacob eat poopy"
*5 minutes later*
Jacob: (while playing with his pudding) "Look mommy, poo art"

Mommy: "Jacob, quit being mean to your brother"
Jacob: "Mommy, quit being a turkey yak yak yak"

Mommy: "Jakey, can mommy sit in the wagon with you"
Jacob: "No mommy too fat"

I can't think of anymore at the moment. He is such a ham anymore. I can't believe some of the things he has been saying.

I want to print this blog out at the end of the year and want to remember all these silly things he says:)

Gushin about Jacob

I feel like gushing about Jacob today. I feel like he is growing to fast and it makes me sad. Last night he was talking to Nana about berries and it hit me that he is such a big boy. A couple months ago he couldn't say berries. He would say "mommy look, booies" It was the cutest thing and I didn't ever catch it on video and now I feel like that memory is gone forever. It makes me sad to think I'll never hear him say "booies" again.

His new thing is taking his shopping cart to each room to go "shopping". The other night he told Brad and I he was going to Meijer and then Target and he'd be right back. When he came back in the room we asked him what he got. He said "Milk, eggs, chocolate ice cream, snacks and Jacob used coupons!" We about died laughing. He was so proud of himself for using coupons! Just like his mama:)

When he rides his car he always says "gotta go mom, gotta get some gas, see ya next time, love you" all at once. I think Santa may bring him a little tikes gas pump this year. He loves filling his cars up with gas.

I just feel like all of the cute baby things he did are gone forever. I must invest in a video camera. Maybe Santa will bring me one:)

Jake's favorite thing now is tattoos like Papa's. He cannot get enough of them, which makes for easy stocking stuffers. He shows random people in the store and loves the put them on his belly. Let's hope this phase passes before he turns 18:) (excuse the fingerprints on the TV, Logan loves to hit it all day long)

Slow down little guy, mommy isn't ready for this. Sleeping in your own bed, going to bed without mommy and daddy lying with you, getting your own snacks from the snack cupboard and wanting to stay the night at nana and papa's. Mommy isn't ready for this yet, buddy:(

An update...finally!!

Well I finally can update, but with no pictures this time. I know I know a blog update with no pictures is boring but we have had snotty noses all week and snotty nose pictures are gross:)

The boys are doing great! Jacob was pretty sick on Halloween and only wanted to walk for about 5 minutes before wanting me to carry him the whole way home. Around 8pm he wanted to go trick or treating again so my mom and I took him around the block to collect some more candy. One good thing about going trick or treating 30 minutes before it ends is that people are trying to get rid of all their candy so they were pouring it in Jacob's bag. He luckily hasn't even asked for it to much so he hasn't been filled up on sugar!

Logan loved riding in the wagon watching Jacob go door to door. A couple people even came to give Logan treats, too, which he loved playing with. He has turned around so much. He is such a delight most of the time. Of course, we still have the hooked to mama's hip problem, but he's actually eating food and not nursing nearly as much as he use to. Actually last night he ate a whole plate of macaroni and slept all night! His new favorite thing is clapping his hands and saying "yah". It's to cute;) He just learned how to shake his head no, too. I think it's to early to be telling his mama no, but it's cute anyways.

We have been talking to Jacob a lot about Santa Clause and now every time he finds a toy that he likes I tell him that we have to add it in his letter to Santa and he says "please Santa" :) Christmas is going to be so much fun this year. I can't wait to put all the decorations up and take the boys for a drive to look at the Christmas lights with their hats and gloves and cocoa:) I love it!

Anyways that's all that is happening in our world right now. I'll try and update with pictures later.

Couting down the days

Jacob keeps asking me if it's Friday yet. He has been doing this since Monday because he knows he gets to go Trick or Treating on Friday:) I have tried and tried to get him to say Trick or Treat, but he will only do it for Brad and I and as soon as we get around people he says "Please Peoples" which is so cute in itself.

We carved two pumpkins this week. Jacob wanted nothing to do with it really because he thought it was full of cheese and we don't play with our cheese. Logan on the other hand was trying so hard to get inside the pumpkin.
Logan learned something new this week! He can clap his hands now:) As soon as you say "yahhh" he starts clapping and it almost sounds as though he is trying to say "yah" now. Another reminder that my baby isn't such a baby anymore. He has slept through the night twice this week, too! Such big milestones for such a little guy!

Jacob has been showing interest in the potty again! Hopefully I can get his butt back in big boy underwear before Christmas! It's so hard because I know he can do it since he was 100% trained for almost 5 months. He'll get there:)

We are still on the hunt for a bigger house. And my baby fever is still around. ;)

Little Boo at the Zoo

We went to Little Boo at the Zoo yesterday with the mommy group. Jacob had a lot of fun eating all the treats as soon as he got them. By the time we made it to the car, he had no more in his bag:)

My boys looked so cute in their costumes! It made me super excited about future Halloweens and how I can dress them a like next year, too:)


Last night we carved pumpkins. Jacob loved taking his scooper in there and pulling the "cheese" out. Yes, he thought the pumpkin was filled with cheese. Logan kept sticking his arms in there, too. He thought it was funny and kept looking at us like he was doing something wrong. I'll try and upload pictures of that later.

I have been working out again. The first day kicked my butt, but I'm starting to get use to it. I am so determined to lose the weight before we get pregnant again:)

Also, we are looking for a bigger house. We are busting out of the seams here. I am in desperate need of a play room or something for all of these toys. We'll let you know how it goes.

We are in for a busy weekend if the rain holds out. Lots of trick or treating and costume contests so hopefully we'll have more pictures this weekend!

Fall Frenzy

It's been so crazy around here this week, which is why I haven't had a chance to sit down and write in here.

Let's see, where do we start?

Logan got his top two teeth last week! They came all the way out in about 3 days, which was a horrible 3 days for me because he wouldn't sleep and used me as a teether. But now they are out and as cute as can be:) He even has the same big gap like Jake;) He is crawling with no problem now and is into everything! I take him in for his 9 month appointment tomorrow so I'm excited to see how much he weighs:) Yup, he's 9 months old tomorrow! I can't believe in a short 3 months he will be 1 year old. I just can't believe it!

Jacob is been, well he has been a bit of a handful. He has more good days than bad, but the bad days stink:) One a good note, he is sleeping on his own now. Sometimes it takes a couple times going in his room to lay him back down, but most times he falls asleep with no problem once I shut the light off.

I finally am going to the gym to kick my butt back into shape. I want to wear my size 6 jeans again before I get pregnant again!

Fall festivities are keeping us busy for the next two weeks. We have Boo at the Zoo on Thursday, Trick or Treating at Levis Commons on Friday, Old Navy Trick or Treating Saturday morning and then a Halloween Hike Saturday evening. Sunday we are going to the zoo again for the Pumpkin Path. We are exhausted but in a good way:)

AGAIN?!?!

Jacob has the cootie bug again!! I am so bummed! This makes three times already this fall. Poor guy! He had a little runny nose last night and then was up basically all night complaining that his "nose is stuck". And then this morning it was just a goopy mess! I feel so bad for him. We were suppose to go apple picking on Friday but I suppose that is out of the question. Our family Halloween party is Saturday and I doubt he will be better by then. Brad offered to stay home with Jacob while Logan and I go so at least we'll have fun:) I told Jake that Logan would collect his "treats" for him as long as he is good for daddy. Poor guy, I know he would have LOVED it!

We have been having sleeping issues with Jake for some time now. He, still at 2 years old, needs mommy or daddy to lay with him to fall asleep. Now that he is 2 1/2 I think he should be able to fall asleep on his own. So today is day 1 and I used the Super Nanny tactic. I put him in his bed and every time he got up I would go in there and lay him back down. He kept getting up and looking out the window, or reading his books and I even caught him trying to climb up on his headboard. Finally after only 40 minutes, I went in there and he was ASLEEP!! With NO crying! I expected at least an hour for the first day. So we'll see how it goes tonight! I know Brad is excited that he possibly won't have to lay with him in there anymore (sometimes it takes up to an hour).

So that's that. It's a gross, yucky day and I am going to go clean:)
