A day in the life of....

I can tell there might be more to blog about in the future. JJ is getting into everything and that should create some stories. One day this past week he decorated his chin with mascara and the next day he "painted" his potty chair with my lipstick. I can see which drawer now needs a lock.

Halloween was uneventful. JJ was a Lion. We went to Robert's office and got lots of candy that I love. We passed out candy at home and JJ learned how to drop Starbursts into trick-or-treaters' bags. He got so excited everytime the doorbell rang.

He has learned to say "thank you" when he receives something. Sometimes he has to be prompted and other times he says it on his own. I'm impressed when he says it because I forget he knows how. He still needs work on 'please' and 'you're welcome' but it is a good start.

He plays a lot in the backyard and we live close to a local airport. He gets very excited and animated when a small plane flies overhead. He points skyward to identify it. Just a note that his breakfast staple is an egg sunny-side up. Don't you dare break the yolk or he will let you know that he likes to do it himself. I've learned!

We went to two different pumpkin patches last month. He LOVES the little animals. The first visit I had to drag him away twice. We went on a hay ride and just loves the outdoors.

We are headed to OKC this Friday for a visit. Robert was originally going to hunt with my dad but the weather may be too warm. We will be there until next Wednesday so we should get lots of good visiting in. I'm excited to see people.

On the new baby front, he is growing and doing just fine. I feel good just a little unmotivated. He is much more active than JJ was. He is kicking much more although I can tell he is still small. Coming up with a name is proving to be a challenge. JJ's name came so easy. The sooner the better so I can start calling him by name. Check the photo website as there are pictures from October up.
