Less Than One Month To Go!

We had an ultrasound this past week and everything looks good. Although admittedly, I cannot tell anything from the ultrasounds. I find it more difficult when the baby's bigger! (Think Rachel from "Friends")

Anyway, it's hard to believe in a few weeks we'll have another baby around here! So much to do, so little time. Jack really has no idea what's going on. He seems to like babies but I'm not sure he'll be as enamored with one that actually sticks around. :) If you ask him what name he likes he still says, "Telly," as in Telly Monster from Sesame Street. We'll keep you posted.

Great Friday!

Jack had an awesome Friday. First we went to get his hair cut. I wouldn't let them lop off the curls but he was really in need of a trim. I think he enjoyed it this time. The place has tons of toys and videos for kids! After the haircut we went to Wegmans and he scored a bagel while I shopped. Bagels are better than chocolate to Jack. Then, after we got home we got an awesome package in the mail from Toni and Dave. Jack was determined to open this himself (see first pic). As soon as he saw the books inside he grabbed them and sat down on the carpet to read them. It reminded me of something his dad would do. There were tons of goodies inside--including a Halloween Mr. Potatohead and clothes for Jack and baby girl Archer. Jack also had fun with the box. It's the package that keeps on giving. Happy Friday.

Jack-o-Lantern

I wanted to get a nice picture of Jack in his pumpkin sweater. Unfortunately, he's not into sitting still or posing these days(more into talking on my phone and bouncing on couch cushions). This was the best I could come up with.

AHHHH!

Yesterday Jack and I were upstairs and when we came downstairs a certain talk show was on the tv (I had left the station on). I can honestly say I NEVER watch this show. I don't think I've ever seen an entire episode. So you can imagine my surprise when Jack pointed to the tv and said, "Hey, Dr.Phil." I was bewildered...not to mention a little spooked. How does my two year old son know who Dr. Phil is?! Then I realized that there is a regular segment on Sesame Street that features Dr. Phil and a muppet named Dr.Feel. So now Jack recognizes Dr. Phil, Billy Fuccillo, oh and Jim Kelly (to who he yells, "Go,go,go, go Bills.") I'm so glad I have the opportunity to explain this one because all I could think of was having my mom or Toni here once the baby arrives, and Jack saying, "Hey, Dr.Phil!" We like to tackle the hard core issues with our toddler.

Fashion Show

We decided to try out some Halloween costumes this weekend. I had a Winnie the Pooh costume from our neighbor and a dog costume from Ann. I wasn't crazy about the Pooh costume because it was a little small (and Jack looked like he was miserable). I loved the dog costume but it was a little small. Poor Jack's little face was crammed into that hood. So then we went to TJ Maxx this afternoon and I picked up the elephant costume. I figure it's probably one of the last Halloweens where I can dress Jack in a cute animal costume. Soon will be the days of superheroes and action figures and ghosts. These shots have to make you smile!!

Decisions

Apparently Jack still had a milk cup leftover when I gave him some juice the other day. He kept alternating: milk-juice-milk-juice. Then he tried to drink both at the same time. (Don't worry, the milk was still ok). I wish these were the types of decisions I had to make now.
