Oooopppss! Update needed!

So, I must be getting really forgetful. There is something new about Jesse this month! He has his first tooth!!! It came in 3 weeks ago, and a second just broke through today. I LOVE his cute little tooth. Can you see it on the bottom left?
Here are a couple more pics, just cause I am here doing this. We took Jesse to a pumpkin patch last Sunday, and here we are with him carving the pumpkin. Yes, he is trying to eat the inside of the pumpkin. =)
Here's our little "Tigger".
And here he managed to open and climb into the bottom drawer while daddy was cooking dinner. He is a little rascal.

Time Flies!!!

Well, here it is almost at the end of October. Where does the time go? Fall is one of my favorite seasons, and it always seems to go so fast. Since my last post, Jesse is still growing, but not many new things to report. He is getting better and better at the skills he has learned...like crawling, sitting up, and cruzing. But no, he is not walking yet. Here are some really cute pics we took this month. My parents both had their birthdays this month, and we went to see them that weekend. They loved having Jesse stay with them for a weekend...I don't think they really noticed that Stephen and I were even there. =) LOL JK So, here are some October pics and videos of the little cutie. Enjoy!!!
Daddy and Baby. My Blue Eyed Boys!





Jesse likes to find odd places to crawl into.

Yes, I made a swing outside our front door. Jesse loves it!Jesse loves playing in the water outside. =)

Video for Grandma

Ok, Grandma, here is the little cutie! He is eating cucmbers, having a geat time. He loves feeding himself. =)

SO Big!

Well, our little man is growing like a weed. He had a check-up last week, and he was 27 inches long, but only 17.8 lbs. According to the doctor, he is in the 80th percentile in height (meaning only 20 percent of kids his age are taller than him), but only the 10th percentile in weight (90 percent of kids his age are heavier than him). So, we are growing a tall, skinny boy...just like daddy. I am hoping that this trend continues. =) His motor development, however, is the thing that is progressing by leaps and bounds. There is no stopping him now from crawling wherever he wants to go...and he goes fast! He has learned how to cruz sideways along the couch, the short wall outside, or whatever he finds to pull himself up with. While standing, he can switch from one chair to another, or from the wall to my leg. =) His balance has gotten much better, and he hardly ever falls down now. He can (and does) get himself into the sitting position, and will play that way. He can climb up steps, and with some care he can get back down. He will walk on hands and feet instead of knees when he is crawling over something that is rough, like dirt. He can pick up Cheerios with his fingers, or whatever other food I give him...or the dirt or bugs he finds on the floor. His sense of humor gets more and more fun the older he gets, and the things that he finds funny often make Stephen and I laugh, too. I think this is my most favorite stage so far. He is so much fun. I love him sooo much. And he loves his daddy!!!!!!!!!!!
Event-wise, we have gone on a camping trip with the Costello's, visited Mamaw and Grandaddy Isbell while daddy went on a camping trip, and gone to the Wild Animal Park with our friends Kirsten and her son, Justice. Jesse loves animals.
We love our little cutie!
