Can you guess who?





I have been thinking a lot about when Jack was a baby and how much harder it seemed to be than it does now. I am finding that despite what so many people have told me the transition to 2 was much harder than the transition to 3. Crazy, I know. I suppose it is different for everyone. I just can't believe how my boys look so alike. Jack hardly looks like he was when he was a baby and Cole looks just Jack did. So, who do you think is Jack and who do you think is Cole?

2 months and growing






Our little Cole is just growing like a weed. He is in the 90% for his weight. He is 12 pounds 11 ounces and 22.5 inches long. He is filling out and fun and squishy. He is smiling like crazy, sleeping pretty well and Colin said he thought Mia made him laugh last night. He is easy going and loves, loves, loves to be held. I finally found a pacifier he will take, thank you MAM, and figured out he will actually sleep on his back if I swaddle him tightly and give him the binky he likes. I know that sounds like a no brainer but before the new "suckie" as Mia calles it, he wouldn't sleep unless I put him on his tummy. I know, spare the lectures and gasps, I slept Mia on her tummy too and guess what, I even slept on my tummy as a baby. Can you believe we survived?

Fall Festivities


Cole was very attentive to the camera. He was so good!

Our own little zombie!
Here we are waiting to watch a group of dancers that dress in black and put
glow sticks on their clothes and dance around. It was certainly entertaining!
I love Jack's smile in this picture. He was swinging in this great big tire swing with his friends.


We had a busy weekend this past one. Friday night we joined our good friends at the Haunted Hay Ride. I was so excited about it all day that I forgot to go to a doctors appointment. They had some fun creative things to partcipate in. Mia loved it, Jack covered his ears the whole ride. There was a tractor pulling the wagon but it really wasn't loud. I think it was his way of saying he didn't like it. It was really a good time.


Saturday we went to a fall festival, again with our close friends and ate apples, got pumpkins and enjoyed the warm fall weather. It was over 75 degrees. Colin had to work and I had help thankfully. Jack likes to run off and never while I am paying enough attention to notice. It happens frequently. Thankfully he doesn't like other people or people he doesn't know I should say. It can be very stressful for me. He's such a sweet guy though when he wants to be and watch out he can be terribly two and usually when we are in public.
Fall is just so much fun!
