October

Jacob is now 15 months old, weighs 30 pounds and is 34 1/2 inches tall.  That puts him in the 94th percentile for weight and off the charts high for height.

Nancy is finally taking down the Halloween decorations she has had up since July, so I am sure we will be putting up Christmas decorations soon.  After all, it is only two short months away.  But since the joyous Halloween season is coming to a close, I figured I would blog so I could post Halloween pictures.  We have a lot.  The ones you will see today are the cream of the crop.  Hours and hours of going through photos to bring you only the best 1% of those.  I have no idea why Jacob has 17 Halloween outfits or why Nancy took 700 pictures, but I think I need a new hard drive to store them all.

J-Dub dressed as a monster for the big day.  Well, from the neck down.  The picture below accounts for the entire 6 seconds that he actually kept the headgear on.  By the end of the night, he was in shorts and a t-shirt. We started out walking to go trick-or-treating.  That didn't last long because his costume had "feet" on it, and his feet would not stay in them.  So he had a little trouble walking.  So next, he hopped in the wagon his Pa bought him for his birthday, and off we went.  That worked much better.  He even got to munch on some candy.  Sadly, by the time we finished trick-or-treating, most of the other neighborhood kids has as well.  So we handed out only about 1/10 of the candy we bought.  Don't worry...I took it to work and between the staff and the clients, it lasted about an hour.

Last weekend, we took JKW to the local church Pumpkin Patch.  It was a little underwhelming, but I'm not sure exactly what I expected from a yard with a bunch of pumpkins strewn about.  I guess they could have had a dancing guy dressed as a pumpkin, or some beer, or something.  But anyway, we got a few pictures, because we definitely needed more photos of Jacob in a Halloween shirt.  You can never have too many of those.

Jacob made out with his first hottie today at his Little Gym class.  Evidently she is a bit of a stage 3 clinger, though.  A bit of a stalker.  She just came up to him and planted one on him, and he reciprocated, open mouth and all.  But then she wouldn't leave him alone.  Typical woman.  Just trying to play a little tonsil hockey and she gets all attached.  Evidently it was pretty hilarious...sad I missed it.

That's all the excitement I'll write about for now.  Here are a few of the aforementioned pictures.  Just think...for every picture you see, there are 100 that didn't make the cut.

He likes to climb to the top of the slide and then can't get down
