2 weeks and 23 months

We have been a family of four for two weeks now and we have all survived so far!  I am somewhat amazed.  Carson is doing really well.  He's gaining weight and sleeping well. He's also starting to stay awake for longer stretches during the day.  He's been such a calm, relaxed baby and  I can't tell you how happy that makes me!  I am getting the hang of handling two boys, but it's still a challenge at times and I love the fact that Carson is just going with the flow so far.  All of Jacob's activites have started back for the fall, so Carson has been going to storytime at the library, gymnastics, playgroup, and anything else that occupies Jacob. 

Jacob is just a little over 23 months old now.  That means at the end of this month he will be 2!  Wow, no more months, just years.  I cannot believe that he's growing up so fast.  We are planning his second birthday party and all the Halloween activities.  I love the fact that there are so many fun activites around the time of his birthday and he always gets to celebrate for days and days!

Jacob is learning and growing so much these days.  He is repeating anything and everything and knows almost all of his animals and sounds.  He starting to learn colors too, but that's still not quite his best subject.  I have to say, more than anything, Jacob is obsessed with anything with wheels.  He loves cars, trucks, tractors, bikes, planes, all of it! We are going to tour the fire station in the morning - I can't wait to see how excited he is to get to play on a real firetruck!  I'll try to get some pictures to post, but until then, here's a cute picture of Jacob and Carson with their Papa, who had a birthday yesterday. 

Happy Birthday Papa!
