a month of tidbits




right now we are experiencing a nor'easter storm and it has been raining for 2 days now - roads are flooding and schools are closed. this means we are at home together.....and have found new fun in our wii video game system :) and jakes LOVES it! he is really good at the golf game and right now is playing the racing game :) henry is playing in his exercausing, blowing strawberry bubbles and putting everything in his mouth. he is around 19.6 pounds and is sitting up by himself for small amounts of time. he outgrowing all of his 9 month clothes and is starting to get a little more hair blonde hair :) both of the boys are super cute and amaze me everyday with the cute things they say and do. jake is enjoying school although he has been feeling a little under the weather lately (we hope to go to the doc soon to check on their ongoing coughs as well)- he got a progress report at preschool and had a few Goods but ALOT of W's (working on the task) - he likes to tell us about his days at school and will have confession time and tell us if he got in trouble or time out. so far he has admitted to kicking the teacher (nice), telling her to shut-up, and other mischevious activities. he is still around 48.5 pounds and 43 inches tall, wearing a 5 clothes but needing a 6 VERY soon :) he is completely potty trained and doing great! we used to give him a pooping toy for incentive but lately he hasn't needed any. he has been acting out alot lately, telling us to shut-up, stupid, idiot, etc.....oh dear! we are trying to set a good example for him but it can be hard on us not to lose our cool as well :) also, henry is a good little rider when we go in the car and if he gets fussy, he'll calm down to the shaking sound of his toys/rattles. he went with me shopping the other day and was the best! i was always nervous about taking jake places when he was a baby but now i am more confident and henry and i venture to stores while jake is at school :) he tried squash for the 1st time today but did not care for them. he likes bananas alot. he also eats peaches, pears, applesauce and rice cereal :)

halloween was fun and they were both dinosaur dragons! henry had a good first halloween!
