2 Years Old - Where does the time go??

Jacob's Elmo Cake - so cute, but lot's of work to ice!!
Jacob and James - finally calm!!




Helping Mom make the icing!



Jacob is obsessed with hats.

Wow, I can't believe our little man is 2 years old!!! I just finished updating his baby book...only took me 2 years to get it done...it was crazy to look through the pics and i was checking through his blog to add some info...good thing I was a better blogger back then!! Who has the time now with a crazy busy 2 year old and another due any minute...maybe it will be tonight as i'm finally feeling like i have everything done and ready!

Jacob had a very low-key b-day...we had dinner and cake at home with Grandma & Grandpa Warwick, Auntie Jess, Uncle Kyle, Auntie Michelle and James...Next year we'll have a bigger party, but for this year, low-key was perfect!!

Hmmmm....I used to write way more details about what was going on in Jacob's life...he's now 36lbs, wearing size 3 clothes...he loves to go out with Dave in the "gar..."which actually means truck or car, Dave and Uncle Jordan have been taking him up the mountain for "man time" which Jacob absoluetly loves! He's been out to chop wood and go fishing, and if you ask him if he wants to do either of these things, he goes "yaaaa" with great enthusiasm - so cute!!

He's still a crappy sleeper, but we continue to work on this...Dave had the brilliant idea to turn his door knob backwards so we can lock it from the outside and Jacob can't get out of his room and we don't have to stand their holding the door shut!! Nice work Dave!! I only plan to use this new locking system when he refuses to stay in his bed, ie: when he wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn't go back to sleep...wish us luck!

We've got our Christmas tree up already, we went out to Gogo's last Sunday and we were the only ones there...I asked Dave if he asked if we were the first in Nanaimo to get our tree (haha) but the guy said it had been busy on Saturday...this is the earliest that we've ever gotten our tree but i'm kind of on a "have to get everything ready" kick!!

Well, the camcorder is charged, extra batteries for the digital are packed, mine and the baby's bag is packed, the house is pretty clean and stocked with food, and we won't be having 2 babies with the same birthday, so hopefully we'll have the baby any day now...wishful thinking i'm sure!!!

Hopefully next time I blog it will be with a baby announcement!!

Halloween and a few more...

Jacob, Erika & Xander...


Taking a bath?!


Mine, mine, mine...lol



Jacob's new Sizzle and Grill kitchen...

Our Halloween was pretty low-key this year. We didn't go trick or treating and Jacob wore Spiderman P.J.'s instead of a costume. Jacob handed out the candy for us, i kept saying "put one in the bag" and he would go "more, more" and add extras! Erika and Xander stopped by and we decided to go nextdoor to the neighbours, Jacob had lot's of fun, and i felt kinda bad having not taken him anywhere so we decided to go to Grama and Grampa's with his cousins. You would have thought he had been eating candy all night, he was so hyper and excited, it was hillarious.
We bought Jacob a kitchen for his b-day/ christmas present...no sense waiting to set it up!! He loves it. He takes all sorts of bowls, etc from my kitchen and puts them in their to cook with.
3 weeks and 5 days until baby #2 is due!!! Not that i'm counting!? lol
Talk to you all later
Wendy and Jacob
