Happy Half Birthday to Jacob!

This post is late too...but as is my motto on this blog, better late than never right? Our little...or should I say not so little...Jacob is growing so fast! He was 20 1/2 lbs and 27 in. at his 6 month check-up. He is my little roley-poley, he rolls EVERYWHERE! It is so funny to watch him roll around everywhere. He may not crawl yet but he sure can get where he wants...and doesn't want...to go. The second you lay him on the ground he's off rolling somewhere and he's fast too! He gets himself stuck in the wierdest places like under the piano bench, under our bed, with his feet stuck under the couch, in corners, everywhere! He can sit up now too, he's a bit wobbly so we have to be right there to catch him when he tips over, but with all that weight he's got on him can you blame him?

He is so happy most of the time. (Hey, everyone has a bad day now and then right?) I say this every month I do an update, but he absolutely LOVES and ADORES his big brother. His face lights up as soon as Tyler walks in the room. Tyler is the best at making Jacob laugh. When Jacob starts to get fussy in the car Tyler starts singing to him and Jacob instantly stops fussing. When Tyler's song is finished he starts fussing again. Tyler likes to comfort him in the car too, he says things like, "It's okay baby Jacob, we're almost home", "It's okay baby jacob you don't cry, mommy's here"

Jacob does NOT like having to be all bundled up lately either. He does all he can to wiggle away from me as I'm putting on his sweater, jacket, or hat. Once we have him in a jacket it is so funny because for some reason he feels he can't move anymore or something. He just lays perfectly still, which as I said above is not what he normally does.

Enjoy the pictures!

This shirt, and the shirt in the above picture, were supposed to be Christmas presents from his Autn Bekah, but we both realized that Jacob probably wouldn't fit them by Christmastime, so, he got them early so that they could be put to use! Thanks, they are so cute!!!

You're going to lunch how?

Destination: the big city... aka Lincoln, NE

Purpose: Lunch

Mode of transportation: Small Private Airplane

Two of his coworkers fly these small planes and so they decided to take Jack on a little ride. The day before Jack called me and said "Just FYI, I have to sign a waiver saying if we crash you and I won't sue them." "Um, Okay hun".

They all work at Offutt AFB so they were easily able to rent one of the planes and go straight from work. He said it was bumpy, but fun! There isn't too much exciting scenery in the midwest, but it's still neat to see things from a higher perspective. Here's a few pictures from his little excursion.

Did you know the gas goes in the wings??

We don't have a photo editor...so bare with me...if you split this picture in 4 squares, our apt. complex is in the bottom left, of the top right square.

Winning Pumpkin!

I know this is late, but, Jack's work had a pumpkin carving contest, and he won!

Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful Halloween this year. We got good use out of the kids costumes-We went to a fun halloween party last weekend, a kids party Thursday, the costume party at Tyler's Gymboree class Friday morning and of course, trick-or-treating. Tyler went dressed as a Ninja, Jacob went as a chubby little dragon...oh I mean a scary dragon, Jack as Jack in the Box and me as a Nudist On Strike. I know, it would have won a contest huh?

(Excuse the name labels...I'm sure you are all aware what our names are, but I got this picture from a friends blog, here's a link to her blogpost about the fun party! Thanks for inviting us!)

We went to Jack's brother's house to go trick-or-treating with Tyler's cousins Evan and Allison. (Check out Bekah's blog for more cute pictures of them all!) The boys had a blast! They were so giddy and were so adorable saying "Trick or Treat!.....Thanks! Happy Halloween (or in Tyler's case "Appy lalo-een!" Jack also taught Tyler to say "Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!" Instead it came out sounding like "Trick or treat, sfel sa sfeet", which made him even more adorable than he already was with his ninja costume and fohawk:)

Our cute little Mo kiddos. Allison the cute piggy, Jacob the fierce dragon, Evan the curious monkey, and Tyler the butt-kickin' Ninja.

Poor little Jacob was so tired he fell asleep sitting straight up in my arms while we were out. Good thing the costume was so poofy it helped support his head.

In the end Tyler came home with some great loot for mom, er uh, I mean for him to eat. We let him have one piece of candy before we went home and after that he kept running away from us and hiding, then we would hear some plastic being messed with and realize he had snuck a piece of candy. We kept telling him you can have more treats tomorrow Tyler! The next morning he woke up at 6, walked to my sid eof the bed and said "More treats now mommy!" I couldn't helpt but laugh pretty hard. Later in the morning he asked if we could go trick or treating again. Ya think he enjoyed himself??
