Halloween is Almost Upon Us!

How exciting! Wait til you see Jacob's costume...

Lately he's rolling around and around...just 4 days ago he was stuck on his tummy once he rolled onto it. I put him on his tummy time blanket, and next thing you know, he was rolling everywhere!

He lifts his bum and kicks out his legs too... He'll be crawling before we know it!

Already?

Jacob turned 4 months on the 12th. He's SO amazing and very sweet. It's incredible how quickly he's able to do more things! He rolls on his tummy very quickly and doesn't get frustrated anymore. Jacob is sporting 6 month old and up clothes too. He's very tall.

He's turned into quite the little charmer. Always smiling and giggling at everyone. He's even taken up growling! He had a shot yesterday and he growled at a man in the waiting room.

Just in time for Halloween.

Thanks for the goodies Mich! He looks so cute in his T-Shirts!

My Mom went to Disney with a friend and brought back some Mickey hats for the boys. It took a few tries to get the pic right but I liked this one best.

Graveyard pudding anyone? We made this creepy treat last weekend but the boys were too grossed out to eat it...

One of last camping trips for the season... All the boys in their hoodies.

Other than that, feeling a little lonely with Rich gone to TO to do a contract. Really appreciate my weekend visitors! Keeping our fingers crossed that he comes home and finds something here. Both feeling stressed...

Will post more pics but they're on my laptop...

Parc Jacques Cartier

We spent a long weekend in the woods at one of our favorite parks, Parc Jacques Cartier. The weather was cool, I definitely prefer camping in this weather. No bugs and the air is crisp! Fall is finally here.

We also gave Jacob extra kisses to celebrate his 3 month milestone! He's officially an infant!

It really went by in a blink of an eye!

Rich played with some chipmunks

...and made some popcorn

...Jacob enjoyed his chair too

and we all shared lots of giggles

Love the baby in a bag! It kept him nice and toasty

Had to throw this one in!

We'll be going camping again next weekend with everyone in Drummondville. I think we'll have one more trip around Thanksgiving, before we close up for the season.

Hope you're all doing well!

First Camping Trip

Peek-A-Boo! Jacob got his first camping badge this past weekend at Voyageur Park.

It was so hot that he spent a lot of time in his diaper (while in the trailer). The a/c wasn't working because we didn't have the proper power outlet at our site. We had a great fan though! It kept us nice and cool for the most part.

We had some nice walks

...and lots of drool

...played some great games. Boggle (of course) and lots of Keltis

...and ate like champs. We always do!

This was a nice spicy Vindaloo dish. If you love spicy curry then this one's for you!

Best of all, we all got to do some serious relaxing!

Cardio Appt

Here's a couple of pics from our trip to the hospital today. Yep, another visit.

At his very first check up on July 1st, his doctor thought she heard a murmur. So we got ourselves a rendez-vous with a cardio specialist who visits from St Justine Hospital. Babies usually grow out of it if its heard a little while after birth...If you hear it right away, then there's cause for concern.

Anyway, it was all very quick, barely any waiting and they did an ultrasound, and other heart related tests. He got a clean bill of health. No murmur.

I just have to say that we're SO sick of hospitals. Yes, we know it was all for the best.

I was just there last week for my after surgery follow up that took nearly two hours.

After everything...we've had enough!

Even Jacob's not impressed about going back!

He was pooped after all the excitement!

Follow Up

All set and ready for take off... Jacob's follow up with his surgeons at the Childrens went very well. He's tip top and doesn't have to go back. He'll have a little scar like a backwards Q on his belly button but it will make for a great story. We gave the surgeons our heartfelt thanks and

were on our way...

We stopped at Atwater market and picked up a few goodies. I hadn't been there in years. My parents used to take my bro and I there every weekend, then out for hot dogs on Notre Dame street. Those were some good times. Especially the huge candy store! My grandmother used to tell me that I'd get tape worms if I ate too much candy. Maybe that's why I still don't eat much candy to this day!

How cute is he?!?!?!

Knock Knock!

It's Michy!

Mich and her hubby Tim came for a visit last week. She hasn't been back to Canada in quite awhile so it was a special trip. We caught up and didn't skip a beat from the last time we saw each other. We talked about our new adventures and caught up on old ones too. :)

Tim brought a tickle trunk or should say bag of drinks. I think he said this was chocolate milk.

Arizona Cactus Moonshine. Jk...Sorry to disappoint but it's only water. He makes sure to drink half his weight in water per day.

Glad she got to see Jacob, thanks for the nice visit Mich & Tim!
