Steve started a new job in July. They pay is great, the hours are awful, and here's the kicker, it's in Wyoming. He works for 15 days and then gets 6 days off. We talked about moving there, but have decided not to for now. First of all he is working 90+ hours a week, so we wouldn't see him anyway. Second this job probably won't be too permanent and we don't really want to live in Wyoming.
It really stinks having him gone so much, I kinda like him, but the boys and I have been keeping busy which helps.
Jacob is 14 months old today. He is going to start walking any second now. He thinks it's hilarious to take a few steps and then fall down. He just started eating crackers last week. I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but trust me it's huge. I have been trying for a very long time to convince him to eat anything he would have to chew but he wasn't having it. We've even had a speech therapist working with him to try to convince him to chew.
The other day he couldn't find a binky, so he improvised and started sucking on the handle of this wooden puzzle piece. I'm choosing to believe it means he has good critical thinking skills.
Jacob's favorite word is no, and lets just say he says it with feeling. It's weird because Jeremiah talked really early and his words were always so clear. With Jacob I don't know what he's saying most the time unless he's screaming no at Jeremiah.
I can't seem to keep any pants on this kid. He has a huge belly
and no hips/bum. He just crawls right out of them.
Jeremiah will be turning 3 next month. It would be fantastic if the terrible 2's would be over then, but I have a feeling 3 is going to be more of the same. He has been so grumpy lately. He has a really good vocabulary and is totally capable of telling me what is wrong, but he just sits there and does this little whimper/whine thing. It is absolutely driving me crazy. I can be so cute and sweet, but man when he gets in a mood watch out.
He has been holding everything over his head lately, so that Jacob can't get whatever he's holding. Not as effective when he's sitting down.
The house is oh so close to being done. Hopefully, we will be able to move in be the end of Steve's next six days home.
I figured Halloween was going to sneak up on me, so I got the boys costumes done early this year. The pictures didn't really turn out, but lets face it, asking two little animals to sit still for any length of time is just ridiculous.
