Jacob 11 Months

Here is Jacob at 11 months...hard to believe he will be a year old in less than month!!  How fast did this year go!?!

Our "Little Pumpkin"...

Pumpkin Topiary

I recently made this cute Pumpkin Topiary for Halloween.  I was inspired by this one I found on Pinterest.  It was super easy to make.  I found the white and orange faux pumpkins at Michaels, along with the outdoor paint. Many thanks to my mom who helped me with the project.  I think it turned out pretty well!  Best thing about it is that you can reuse it year after year...

Spray paint a terra cotta pot black...

Add some white polka dots...(Used a round sponge "paint" brush.)

Cut the tops off of the bottom two pumpkins and paint your letters on...(I used a template for the letters)

Hot glue your pumpkins together, add some faux fall leaves to the pot, and voila!  Cute pumpkin topiary! 

It's almost as tall as Matthew...Happy Halloween everyone!

Milestones for Jacob

Jacob has had many milestones in the past month!  In the past few weeks he has learned to sit himself up from laying on the floor, pull himself up to a standing position on just about everything, and even walk a bit behind a walker!  Just yesterday he started really crawling (has been "army" crawling for months).  We better watch out, he will be off and running in no time!

Here are a couple videos of Jacob pulling himself up to stand when he was learning...

I also just ordered his invites for his first birthday party!  Here is the cute picture I used...

My 2 "P's"

Matthew is so excited about being a Pirate this year for Halloween.  When his costume arrived in the mail, he HAD to try it on.  Jacob is going to be a Pumpkin this year...the same thing and costume Matthew was for his first Halloween.  Hence my two "P's"...a Pirate and a Pumpkin!

More Pumpkin Love

I recently got the boys a couple of gorgeous, nice, big and round pumpkins at our local Farmer's Market.  As you can tell from the pics, they really like them. :)

Pumpkin Boys

Trying to catch up on blogging, AGAIN!  Will I ever get caught up?  A few weeks ago we took the boys out for some annual pumpkin pics we do every Fall.  It was Jacob's first time with all the pumpkins and he sure enjoyed himself.  He even wore the same exact outfit Matthew did for his first pumpkin pics...:)
