An Afternoon at the Park

Mommy took me to a park near our subdivision last week. It was a perfectly wonderful afternoon and I had so much fun! I learned how to climb up to the top of the playground (with Mommy's help) and even went down the slide all by myself! They also had these awesome bouncy things that I had a blast riding. You can see how much fun I had from the look on my face! We will have to do this park thing more often.

Pictures to Share...

I love holding baby Jaxson!

Jaxson loves his Rainforest swing. He looks so big in this picture!

Old school footie PJs are the best!

Running around like the crazy boy I am...

I've been workin' on the railroad....

Mommy and I have been building some pretty complicated train tracks lately...we went to a toy store a few weeks ago where they had a train table and we stole their cool ideas!

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

Well, Tucson has officially gotten cold. Last night and the night before we actually had frost warnings! I love this time of year, except that I wish we would get snow here like at Aga and Aga's house in Chicago. I love snow. Mommy had to get out all of my warm winter clothes and we realized that I didn't have too much that fit, so we need to go shopping today and get some jeans and sweatpants in my size.

Aunt Missy left on Tuesday this week and I was so sad I cried when we dropped her off at the airport. I know her and Mommy had a great time together though. They did a lot of shopping and she spent a lot of time playing with me and Jax. We all had so much fun. We were sad to see her go, but know that we will see her again soon when her and Kyle move here next year.

I do have some pretty exciting news to share. My old babysitter, Brandi, and her husband David were in the process of adopting a baby girl at the end of October. Now if you can remember, they have 2 boys of their own, Licoln and Henry. Lincoln is 4 and Henry is a few months older than me. Well their new baby was supposed to be born the first week of November and the birth mother went in for a scheduled C section on Wednesday evening. Brandi and David were going to name her Georgi Ann and had everything ready for a baby girl. Well......when the baby came out......IT WAS A BOY! What a great surprise! They ended up naming him Jacob Ladd and he was 10 lbs 15 oz and 21.75 inches long. A huge baby, but they are so excited and so in love with him. They are bringing him home this afternoon and Mommy and I are going to go over and bring them some formula. I am so excited to meet him! We said lots of prayers for the Johnson family and they are so blessed.

Baby Jaxson is starting to talk! And when I say talk, he's obviously not talking like I can talk, but he's cooing and oohing and ahhing. It is so cute! He likes to lay underneath his Ocean Adventure play yard and look at the toys dangling above him and listen to the music playing. He also likes to sit in his bouncy chair and bat at the toys hanging in front of him. He makes all sorts of happy noises and I love listening to him. He is growing up pretty fast.

Well, I think Mommy is getting ready to take us to the zoo, so I need to go. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Love,
Jeremy

Playing with Mommy's purses...man, these things are heavy.

I love holding my baby brother. He smiled at me yesterday and that put a huge smile on my face!!

Trick-Or-Treating!

Sorry I am a few days late writing about my trick-or-treating experience. Auntie Missy is here and I've had a hard time tearing Mommy away to help me write a blog entry. Missy got here on Tuesday and is here for a week. When she got off the plane and we picked her up at the airport, guess what she brought for me?! A Thomas engine that moves all by itself when you press the conductor man down! It's totally awesome! I've been having so much fun playing with someone new and I know Mommy is really happy she's here too.

So anyway, Halloween was a blast! I had so much fun. Rachel and Matt came over that night to go trick-or-treating with us. I got changed into my costume and we got Jax all packed into the stroller and off we went. I made sure to grab my candy tote to put all my goodies in. We started off walking down our street and I couldn't believe how many people were out! Everyone was all dressed up in different costumes, too, it was pretty cool seeing all the neat ideas people had. The first couple houses we went to Mommy and Rachel had to help me figure out what I was supposed to do, but then I finally got the hang of it. I became a doorbell ringing, candy collecting champion!

We went to about 20-25 houses and I got pretty tired fairly fast. Hey man, I'm only two years old and this was my very first time! I think I did pretty good! I know Mommy and Daddy were very proud of me and they told me I would do a great job teaching my little brother how to do this when he's old enough to go. I'm so excited to show him the ropes. We will have a blast together. Too bad Halloween only comes once a year. I've already started to think about what I will dress up as next year......hmmmm, Buzz LightYear.....a cowboy.....a fireman.....a train conductor.....? There are too many choices! It's a good thing I have a lot of Halloweens ahead of me!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Love,

Jeremy

Baby Jax dressed up as a jack-o-lantern.

Miss Rachel pumped up my confidence and told me I could do this thing called "trick-or-treating" even though I was a bit nervous.

A few houses down, and I am on my way all by myself!


Look at me! TRICK-OR-TREAT!!!!

Whoa baby! Look at this stash I reeled in for myself! No sharing with Mommy and Daddy! It's a good thing Jax doesn't have any teeth yet, or I'd have to hide it from him, too!

Our littlest punkin' looking cute as always.
