Happy Halloween!

It was Jake's first Halloween and we had so much fun! Jake was a little lion. He was so cute. On Friday Brian came home early and we each carved a pumpkin. Jake sat in his highchair and supervized. I haven't carved a pumpkin in years so it was a lot of fun to start a new tradition with Jake. After we finished carving Jake got all dressed up in his lion outfit for pictures. Of course I took a ton of pictures. Jake was not into Halloween. He didn't cry but he wasnt laughing either. There are just a few pictures of him grinning but that was pretty much it.

Saturday we went to Hilary and Elliott's to watch football (another sad day for Auburn fans). Jake's little friends all dressed up for pictures. We had Brendan the firefighter, Matty the cuddly lion and Davis the monkey. Again Jake didn't smile...but didn't cry so at least that was something. Regardless the pictures are cute. We had such a fun day. When we finally left we got Jake home and in bed and he slept like a log until 7 am and then it was time to play again! Where do they get this energy?

In the past two weeks Jake has really been working on his crawling and clapping. He usually crawls forward 2 or 3 steps then sits down and claps for himself. Every time I see it I just chuckle. He is so pleased with himself. I love the clapping, his whole face just lights up and he laughs and laughs. It's so fun. I guess he is officially crawling. We picked him up from the church nursery today and the lady said he should probably move up to the crawlers class. She said she looked up and he was on the other side of the room. Oh, the little guy is growing up! He is even trying with all his might to pull himself up (and there is quite a lot to pull). He gets his hands on the couch and tries and tries but hasn't made it yet.

I think this weekend we are going to introduce Jake to Auburn football. It's Homecoming and as long as the weather is nice we will be off to Auburn. Have a great week!
