October!

Annabelle is seriously a good baby. She loves playing by herself, and is happy as can be to sit on the little rug and examine everything around her. She likes the cube with the wooden balls that you slide around, and also the wheel that you spin to make animal noises. She also is obsessed with remotes!

We’ve been really able to see Annie’s personality the last few days. She’s very mischievous and likes to steal Jack’s binkies when he’s not looking and then smile at us with a little glint in her eye. She also laughs at so many things, she’s just fun to be around these days. J

Annie just got her second tooth yesterday, so now she has two on the bottom front. She tends to be fussy the day she gets it, but we now know that it’s coming even earlier because she doesn’t sleep for 2-3 nights beforehand :/ She literally is up every hour, not necessarily fussing – just awake. Then last night she was back to her ‘normal’ routine of bedtime at 7ish, sleep til 4, eat, then back to sleep until 6:30/7:00. I have no right to complain, it took Jack until probably 18 months to sleep that well J

Speaking of Jack, he continues to crack us up. He’s very into giving “huggies and kisses” and can’t give one without the other. He’s been SO excited about Halloween, which isn’t surprising  given his obsession with chocolate! But he loves everything about it, especially the ‘pooky’ stuff J All the Halloween games online are his favorites, like Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Imagination Movers and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

We figured out last night that he can do mazes! I had a book of mazes for 2, 3 and 4 year olds and he held his crayon and whipped through them like crazy.

We made spider cookies for the kids’ daycare party after seeing them at the Yacht Club Halloween party on Tuesday. They were a big hit, and when I figure out how to get pictures from my new phone onto the computer I’ll post them.

‘Til then…
