Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Jacob dressed up like Tigger today. He was so adorable. This morning after his morning nap, we got ready and went to visit Papa at his office. We met everyone he works with and took him a treat, yummy lemon bars! Then we went to Nani's office to say hi to her and Uncle Dave. While there Jacob took another couple of steps a few times. I fear that more and more steps are in our future. It's actually really exciting though. I really thought he wouldn't be attempting to walk until closer to his birthday, but I guess when he's ready, he's ready.
After our late morning visits we came home, ate lunch and then took another nap in preparation for another Halloween outing. In the afternoon we went to city hall where they decorated all the office buildings and were giving out lots of candy. Jacob scored with 5 pieces of candy. He got a twizzler, starburst, sixlets, reeses peanut butter cup and a butterfinger. Most of the time I told them not to give him candy, but when I saw the girl holding a peanut butter cup and butterfinger, I kept my mouth shut and let her throw it into his pumpkin. It was pretty warm outside, so we left his costume unzipped with the hood off. On the way home, Jacob threw a fit. It took me about 30 minutes to calm him down once we got home. After a few teething tablets, he finally calmed down and took another nap.
When he woke up, we had a quick dinner and then we were off again for our final Halloween outing. The three of us went to our church's Family Fest. There were TONS of kids there. Jacob had a great time just looking around at everything that was going on. We took a family picture, good thing they were taking pictures otherwise we wouldn't have had a family picture of this event! Then Jacob went into the petting zoo and pet a cute goat. He wasn't too sure about touching them at first, he was content just sitting next to one of the goats, but daddy stood him up and then he was able to feel the little goat. He also rode on a train with mommy, we were the caboose! After walking around a little more we were all pooped and we knew it was time to go because it was getting a little too close to bed time.
So now we are home, out little Tigger is asleep and mommy and daddy each have one candy bar to eat...I say this was a good day. so until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
All in all, we had a fun day
