Happy Halloween

La-La and I decided to go as Twins baseball players this year.
Left-handed pitchers to be exact!

We had alot of fun passing out candy to all the kids. I even got to go trick-or-treating. By the way, Kit Kats are delicious

Just a spoonful of yogurt

It's true. I've started feeding myself (much to mommy's "delight"). With some help, I grab a yogurt (only chocolate or key lime will do), sit down right on the kitchen floor and start "eating".





The really tricky part is getting a spoonful of yogurt into your mouth- some always seems to fall on the floor or on my shirt. But that's okay, I hear Fergie eats anything, so I just leave it for her.

You'd think mommy would know that chocolate yogurt and a white shirt don't mix (silly mommy!)

Mmmm...ice-cream

Today I tasted my very first ice-cream cone. It was de-licious. The best part was the chocolate center. Mmmm...I couldn't get enough of it's lip-smacking goodness!

My vacation up North

Greetings from the Great Northern Territories! Here we are in Lutsen, MN for a "getaway". Mommy and Daddy honeymooned up here (whatever that is) and have been coming every year ever since. We rented a townhouse on Lake Superior- you can run out the back door and jump in the lake (don't think I didn't try). The great thing about the townhouse...it wasn't Jakie proofed. There were drawers to look in, stairs to climb, an oven to play with, and a bathroom to visit. Gosh, IT WAS A GREAT VACATION.

Here I am by the shores of Lake Superior getting dirty ( I did that alot). I like to throw rocks in the water.


La-La came along, of course. After a long day playing in the fresh air, we were starving! I learned that I love biscuits and gravy-yum! I tried a bunch of other foods like eggs and fish, but dessert was by far my favorite.









Here's a picture of the whole famliy. It was drizzling, but that didn't stop us from venturing out. It's really pretty up here-lots of trees, birds, and water.

Oh, by the way-mommy's not fat, she's having a baby!



Daddy's explaining to me that I can't just run into the water-it's really, really cold (I found out 'cause I did get my feet wet) and I don't know how to swim. All in all, it was a great trip. I hope we come back next year (although I heard mommy and daddy saying they were never coming back until the kids are in their 30s...whatever that means)

Tiny Bubbles

Everywhere I look there's bubbles!

Have you ever tried to catch one? It's impossible, but boy did I try.

As you can see, they made me giggle-especially when they landed on my face and popped!

One Fish, Two Fish

I discovered that this is the best place in the whole house to read my favorite Dr. Seuss book!

Of course, reading books is always better with a friend. I know you can't see her, but La-La's in the crate with me.

I'm a Big Boy...

I woke up from my nap, came downstairs, and what do you think I found...a table and chairs all for me!

Do you know the very best thing about them-you can climb on them. Oh yeah, I tried it out and boy is it fun (except when the chair tips over and you fall). But I'm going to keep at it until I don't fall...

Fergie and Molly Did It...

...I came into the kitchen, the cabinet door was open, and ALL the paper towels were pulled from the roll and just laying on the ground.

I didn't want anyone to get in trouble (i.e. Fergie and Molly) so I started to clean up...

Honest!

There's Something About La-La...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think La-La had a left eye transplant...and I think Grandma did it!

I keep poking at the "left-eye" but it doesn't feel the same, nor does it taste the same. That's okay, La-La's right eye is a-okay, so I'll just chew on that one. No hard feelings Grandma- I know you did it for my own safety.

Jakie the Explorer

I claim this driveway as "Jakieland"!

Gosh I love sticks. Rocks will always have a special place in my heart, but sticks-that's where it's at right now. The bigger the better (for me, not for mommy). Today I feel like Diego or Dora-exploring my huge driveway and yard. Hey, they have side-kicks...I wonder if Fergie or Molly will be mine?

Water, Water Everywhere

Today was a hot one-I tried to tell mommy that I wanted to go outside, but she just didn't get it (apparently, prying on the door and screaming at the top of my lungs isn't a dead give away). Finally we went outside and I spied the sprinkler. Mommy turned it on and that's when the fun began! Have you ever had a drink of cool refreshing water from a garden hose? It's THE best. I couldn't get enough. One day, I'll be able to fit the whole hose in my mouth...you just wait!

Today I Learned...

...how to pick my nose! First I picked one side, then the other side, and then...I ate it. Boogers do not taste bad, I don't see what the big fuss is about. I think I kind of like doing this, especially since it grosses my mommy out and makes daddy very proud!

Later, tater-tots

The Lazy Days of Summer

Ah...there's nothing like a romp through my sprinkler to keep me cool on these hot summer days! I've also been keeping cool by swimming in my pool and staying inside.

Hope you're enjoying the summer so far, I sure am. I've been to the playground, a swimming party, walks around the neighborhood, been pulled around in my wagon, and have started a stick collection (I still love rocks, but I'm a sucker when it comes to a good stick). Stay cool....
