The Grass Family Chronicles

Andy is now three years old. He had a great check up at the doctor's today. 37 inches tall and 36 pounds. Weighs the same as his brother! :)

We had a big birthday party for him yesterday. All of his friends came and we all had the greatest time! Our neighbor, Claudia, made an amazing cake for him. It was so cool that Caleb asked her to make the cake for his next birthday! The kids all enjoyed the pinata and Andy pulled the last strings to make all the candy come out. Almost every present he got was a Cars thing, which was just fine with him. He really loves his Cars!

What do you think? I don't really want to lose the baby hair, but it's getting pretty long. Post your vote in the comments and we'll go with the majority!

We are such a busy family that staying at home all day is a rare occasion for us. On Monday, though, it was so windy and gloomy that Caleb suggested that we spend the day inside. We found lots of fun things to do! First we cut up our Cinderella pumpkin and roasted it so we could make some pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. Then we made a paper plate turkey craft. After that, we built a fort. Jakey really enjoyed that! Staying at home is fun, but I was exhausted after all that!

Today I went in to get Jakey after his nap and he was doing this. It was a real shock, I tell you! I know he's been pulling himself up on the couch, but the crib is a whole new ballgame. Guess we'll be lowering his mattress tonight!

I also want to mention that he climbed five stairs today. BY HIMSELF. He was quite proud of his accomplishment! :)

Last Sunday Jakey started crawling. A few days later, he learned how to go from crawling to sitting by himself. A few days after that, he started pulling himself up to stand. He's gone from zero to sixty in a matter of days. There's no keeping him still now!

The leaves are changing colors and are falling off the trees at a rapid pace. The weather has been beautiful and sunny lately, so we took advantage of this to play in the leaves. The boys had such a great time making huge piles of leaves and then throwing them up in the air. Hopefully we'll get a few more days of sun!

We had another great Halloween this year! We started off with a visit to our neighbor, Camille's, house. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to show off (and get some candy, of course!) and then to the Morinishi's for our annual get together. We had some yummy food, made some caramel apples, then got dressed in our costumes to head out. We were quite a group; something around 15 kids. It was fun to see the faces of the people who answered the doors. :) Great times!
