Happy Halloween!!!

Trying to crawl

As you can see, Jacob still has a ways to go before he's crawling, but we're trying to help him figure it out.

Our Anniversary... 2 Years!

We celebrated two years of marriage yesterday. Still going strong. Two items of note:

1. I'm pretty sure I have the best wife ever. For an anniversary present, she got me a banner that was hanging in Shea Stadium all this year (Shea's last). I didn't even know that they were selling this stuff, but on her own she came up with this idea, figured out how to make it happen, and then made it happen. Apparently, they are selling everything they can carry out of Shea. She knows me so well!


2. To celebrate, we went to the Original Steakhouse and Sports Theater. Normally, going to a sports bar for your anniversary might not be all that glamorous, but this was the restaurant where Courtney started going into labor almost exactly 7 months to the minute before our dinner last night. This was our first time back there since, to eat the dinner that we missed that night. We brought Jacob along this time as well. I had wanted to bring along the camera so that I could take an updated shot (Courtney and Jacob together) of this infamous picture of Courtney going into labor as we waited for our table, but alas, I forgot the camera at the last minute. By that look on her face, two years is a miracle.

Laughter

Jacob recently had one of my most favorite milestones; he laughed at something that was situationally funny. While we have been able to make him laugh for quite a bit by tickling him, the other day was a completely different story.

I was feeding Jacob dinner and as I cleaned up afterwards, accidently dropped his spoon right on top of his highchair tray. I immediately sayed, "UH OH". What followed was the most adorable noise I have ever heard; little baby giggles! So, while the neighbors probably though I was the crazy lady next door, I continued to drop the spoon and express my dismay while my little man laughed his little head off.

As soon as Mike walked in the door from work, of course he had to show him too!

Although we are terrible parents and did not get that moment on video, we did capture his tickle induced laughter for your viewing pleasure.
