Catch-up

October has been a great month! I am feeling human again, even with my growing belly. Joey made it through mid-terms and organized a great lecture event on campus. As for Jacob, here's a few pics:His first tie, dress pants, and shoes for Kelly's wedding. He was a great sport for the hour of pictures, and then he was happy to go to polo, shorts, and crocs. I think he looks pretty handsome either way.

One of the highlights of staying at Grandma and Grandpa Moore's house...Uncle Casey's full drum set! He had to wait to play until everyone was awake, and then when the last person got up, he would run into the room and start off with this pose! Next came a lot of noise. He loved it!


Cheesy pumpkin patch shot. We can't seem to get him to smile for real at the camera these days, so this is the best we could do. A few days before I took this shot I was going to take some pictures of him for the GAP baby casting call, however that morning he hit his head on his little table and now has the stripe across his forehead that you can see in this shot. So much for my dreams of starting his modeling career early;)



Peek-a-boo!

We finally figured out how to do haircuts with no screaming! Our secrets:
1. A cheesy drape that came with the clipper set
2. Return of the binkie!
3. Bumbo on top of a regular chair
4. Grandma's gift...battery operated clippers, so we weren't confined to a plug
and of course....
5. Television with a Baby Einstein video playing.
(Plus Joey making comments about the 'cool' stuff on the video.)
With all of these tools, it only took about 10 minutes, the hair was all the right length, and no one was screaming or being restrained during the process! Let's hope there are many more peaceful haircuts in our future.

Tiff! Thanks for the haircut tips. Milo is still scared of the clipper noise, so that one will have to wait, but we can do the other stuff! Glad you are feeling better - just 2 months huh? How exciting! EM

Girl, don't give up the modelling career, just dab some cover-up on that forehead and go to town!

I hope there is another post coming soon with Halloween photos.

I wanted a shot of your belly growth :) Jacob looks way to grown-up and adorable in these. Miss you guys.

FINALLY!! Thanks for the update and pictures. Nice of you to make him wait until everyone was awake for the drums. Too bad he didn't have some bubble wrap...

Oh, I miss him. We really need to come out there and see you guys. I think I may have cordinated my time off with Kevin's this time, so it might actually happen.

So glad to hear you are feeling better - I hate being pregnant. I am with you on the tricks of haircutting. We use to put Ethan in his high chair with a show on and I would give him M&M's one at a time while TJ cut his hair.
