We have a nasty virus that Jack and Grace are passing back and forth. Currently Jack has a fever and runny nose. He's been sleeping and/or watching T.V. all day up until now. Motrin is a miracle fever reducer! I can tell he is feeling significantly better, but he is still milking it. I asked him if he felt better just now, and he said in a sad voice, "no, I'm still really sick, mom." We are just going to relax and hang out at home today. It is such a nice day. I wish we could go do something, but instead I have the windows open, which is great too! It's going to be a crazy week around here with me staying at school late for parent/teacher conferences, so hopefully everyone stays healthy!
Erin had her 2 month well visit on 10/19, and her stats are:
Weight: 12.6 lbs.
Height: 23 in.
I looked up Jack's 2 month stats and Gracie's. Jack was definitely the biggest, and Gracie the smallest. It's funny because it follows how they were at birth.

| Visiting the petting zoo at "A Lot of Pumpkins". This is a tradition that we started a while back. It started out as just Colin and I going, and every year we've added another person. It's such a fun and festive place to go during the fall and then back again at Christmas time! |
 |
| "Can you get me out of here so I can have some fun too?" |

| loves him some baby Erin!!! |
 |
| This is the first year that he has wanted to ride the horse. Last year he was way too scared. He did it twice, and it was his most favorite part about going this year! |
 |
| You may remember I did this zip line last year...barely. Well they have a MUCH smaller scale one for kids. We went over there with intentions of having him do that one. All of the sudden I saw Colin and Jack walking up the stairs to the big one. I may or may not have freaked out a little (or a lot). I was so nervous!!! But Jack got off and acted like he had just went down a slide or something. Not a big deal AT ALL to him. He just started talking about riding the horse again... |
 |
| What on earth has gotten into my cautious little boy?! |
 |
| There he goes! |
 |
| I asked Jack if he wanted to get a BIG pumpkin, but he said he wanted a small pumpkin that he could carry. |
 |
| Erin seems to be happy! :) |
