Happy 21 Month Birthday Baby Boy!

I guess we were too busy going on a family walk and playing hide and seek to wish you a happy birthday yesterday! We love you stinky, you are our dream come true!

Love

Here are some random pictures. I'll post more later. We had a great time at the pumpkin patch and the fire station last weekend. A costume change for Halloween, he's going to be a dinosaur, not a turtle!

A Funny Story

This weekend we were starting our family walk- and Brandon had to run back inside the house for something. So Jack, Finley, and I are standing on the corner across the street from our house when this car pulls up. It's a young guy with all the windows down and the rap music BLASTING. From the look on his face he's thinking he's really tough and cool. Then I look over at Jack, and he's DANCING to the music! The guy in the car sees him and totally cracks up and starts dancing with his arms too- it was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

The toddler cracks the tough guy's image. Hysterical!

Maddie

Four years ago today we lost someone very special to us. Madison was a complete joy to know- happy and full of smiles for everyone. It's funny how even four years later I can still feel her hugs and hear her laugh.

This week I came upon a little known book called "Tilly Witch". I was going through a box of Halloween books I found in my closet at school, and there it was. Maddie loved that book. She loved that Tilly Witch. I remember the Halloween, or was it Halloweens that she was Tilly Witch. I have a feeling a certain little angel made sure I found that book this week. I was thinking of you anyway Maddie, but thanks for the reminder!

We miss her everyday.

Sleep

For the past few nights, Jack has been waking up several times crying. For no real reason. He has his pacifier, he has his yellow blankie, he didn't throw up. On Sunday night I was so tired of getting up with him for no apparent reason that I just brought him into bed with us. He slept soundly the rest of the night. Apparently he was just missing us. So last night he cried at about 9:30 and we just let him cry until he fell back asleep- about 1 minute. He must have gotten the message cause last night he slept straight through the night again. It's amazing how quickly you take for granted the fact that you have a good sleeper. As soon as something interrupts your usual full nights sleep- it feels like the end of the world!

Tonight we went to Uno's for dinner. Then we met Auntie Liz and Uncle Timmy back at our house. Uncle Timmy had a surprise for Jack- a book called "The Hallo Wiener" - it's really cute- you should check it out!

Our neighbors brought home a 6 week old golden retriever puppy!!! Jack is in absolute love with Emma. I have a feeling if he could talk a little better he'd be asking us for a new puppy!
