Today was a wonderful day for the entire family. It all started when I woke up and I found out that daddy was still in bed sleeping when I got up. Mommy said that daddy was off work today and would be home to spend time with us all day. Normally he works on weekends so I knew this would be special.

Daddy kept telling me we were going to a pumpkin patch but I had no idea what he was talking about. It took a little bit of a drive to get there but I had so much fun. There were all kinds of animals there like geese, goats, chickens, rabbits and more. I got to go on a wagon ride to a pumpkin patch and mommy and I searched for just the right pumpkins. They have to have a nice handle, no flat spots and be nice and round. There was a lot more to do there to. We all had fun.

Here are a bunch of pictures from our wonderful day.

        
        
     
        

Last night we gave Jace his first Ice Cream Cone. Once he found out Ice cream was in it he grabbed it up! He’s had ice cream a few times before. He loved it that he could do it himself this way. Then when his cone was all gone he signed that he wanted more! LOL

Here’s a video of him eating it!!

Jace now plays peek a boo with us. When I change him he grabs his PJs from the changing table and covers his face and laughs. Then I say “Where’s Jace? I can’t find him” and he pulls it away laughing!! It’s so cute!  By the Way…that’s his new sound! LOL

Jace is getting so big right in front of our eyes! We are on day 4 of being Paci-Free! He is now cruising around the living room. He’s almost crawling. If he really wanted to he would.

He loves sitting on his riding toy! He can move it backwards but not forward yet.

For the last 4 weeks we’ve been going to KinderMusic Class, called Sign and Sing. We’ve been doing baby signs since Jace was about 4 months old. He has done a few signs here or there in the last week, but tonight at supper he used the sign for more and know what he was doing it for. He done it between each bite.

My cousin, who uses baby signs with her daughter, gave us a video called ‘My Baby Can Talk’ which is a baby sign video. Jace loves this video. When he gets fussy sometimes this video is the only thing that will quit him down.

Click here for a video of Jace doing the sign.  We do the sign for ‘more’ by pointing one finger to the palm of the other hand.

This past Sunday we went and visited Dave at work for Lunch. We found out that Jace is big enough to ride some of the rides now, since he can sit well on his own. He loved this!! We also got to see Santa again. By the time Christmas comes around he’ll know who this guy is!! LOL

Updates on Jace:

Still no crawling yet. But he had been getting on his hands and knees and rocking. Tonight he moved his hands forward two steps.

He’s starting to pull up on everything. He’s able to do it on his own most of the time.

He’s figured out that he can move his riding toy by pushing his feet.
