Snickers, Butterfinger, Skittles, or Junior Mints?

Or, new this year, Nestle's Crunch with caramel... Oooh that was good. It was similar to a caramello (remember those?) with crunchy goodness on the bottom. Anyway, chances are you aren't reading this for a candy discussion.
Jacob had fun tonight, althouh I'll admit, he was a little bit afraid of his own costume at first, once we got by that he enjoyed some time with Olivia and a walk around the neighborhood watching the big kids trick or treating.
HERE are a few more pictures from tonight. By the way, the pictures at the end are of him during an animated conversation with his bubbe.

Jacoby Gus Greene

Congratulations to the World Champion Boston Red Sox!!!! We decided to let our Jacoby sleep through this world series victory, given that the Red Sox win this thing all the time.
Let's hope they can get world series MVP Mike Lowell signed up for next year.

BREAKING NEWS... JACOB WALKS!!!

Earlier today Jacob just stood up in the middle of the living room... Seconds later, he started walking. After another half hour, he's an expert. Please ignore the inane background commentary... More later, right now its bath time.

JD Drew comes through

Today we went to Stoughton to hang out with Jared. He's doing really, really well. It's really hard to believe that he had major heart surgery just over a week ago. Here's to Jared's continued speedy recovery.
It was a beautiful afternoon and of course I had the camera... Still no photo upload here on blogger, but you can see some of the pictures HERE..
Good luck to the Sox in game 7.

Translation Please?

Jacob has been saying 'bah' lately... a lot. One might think it means 'ball' or perhaps the noise that a sheep makes. However, when you ask him what noise a cow makes, you also get 'bah'. You can give him a ball and sometimes, he'll say ball. But you may also get 'bah' when you hand him a truck.
He's also started pointing to things he wants, sometimes he'll tell us 'bah', and occasionally something that sorta sound like 'dis'. Could be 'this' but i'm not so sure.

More Pix?

While we're waiting for the good people at Blogger to fix up the pix uploader, you can see a bunch of the picutures right HERE.

The Jeep's Passenger seat is occupied...

THE PIX ARE BACK!
As I mentioned previously we were in Maine a couple times last month. On our last trip, over the Columbus Day holiday we got a special treat. Uncle Rossy came to see us. Lucky for us, he did not show up alone. Ross introduced Jacob (and his parents) to his girlfriend, Heidi. Jacob and Heidi became fast friends. Ross and Heidi showed up with 10 hot dogs from Flo's, only 4 were for Ross. I powered through 3 and Jacob, as pictured, got to have his first fantastic flo's frank... he may need some pointers on his hot dog ingestion technique, but, what do you want from him, he's 1.
We got to spend a whole day with Ross and Heidi and it was great. She's great and they seem really happy together. Hopefully you'll all get to meet her soon.

On the rocks

Well, per Ross' suggestion I'm trying to post more about the exciting life and times of Jacob Gus Greene. Sadly, right now something is wrong with the picture upload doohickey. So I guess I'll have to try to get by on boring text alone.
I don't want to make 'excuses' but the reason I haven't posted in such a long time is that we were in Maine for two of the past three weekends, combine that with the Red Sox playoff push and the Patriots dominance and I guess that'll quickly fill up a day.

Perhaps soon I'll be able to post a couple of great pictures of Jacob exploring on the rocks by the ocean in Maine. He waved to the passing boats and enjoyed the waves crashing all around him. You may also get to see a picture of Jacob and daddy along with Rebecca and Unlce Mark after a Jacob and Rebecca took a bath.

Jacob has really been working on walking. He pushes his 'walking toys' all around the house. He's even recently figured out how to turn while pushing the walker, well, sort of anyway. You see when he encounters a wall or table or obstacle larger than him, he sits down, pushes the wheels away from said obstacale, then stands back up and continues on his way. He's brilliant.

In other news, he's still taking 2 naps a day (oh the life of a toddler), each of them is over 90 minutes on a good day. He is becomming a bit of a picky eater, sometimes. Some of his favorite foods (for now) include, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt, hummous, crackers, pretzels, watermelon (still), and canteloupe. He'll eat a veggie burger from time to time along with some pasta and sauce when he's in the mood. He's very big on feeding himself which usually leads to a big mess. Fun, but messy. Again, once the picture thingamabob starts working again, i'll show you what i'm talking about.

Uncle Ross is upset

He's angry about a perceived lack of blog postings... and you know, he's right.
But he really shouldn't be talking about blogs, considering that his blog hasn't been updated SINCE APRIL!
Meanwhile, i'll get back on the blog train soon.
In other news, Jared is home! he's healing up and feeling better.
More soon.
