September Visit to Iowa

We finally got to visit Blake in September, it was the first time we had seen him since he had to go back to his mom after his summer stay with us. It was so great to get to spend some time with him, and as usual he had grown taller, and had increased his vocabulary. He pronounces his C's as T's. For instance he will tell you something is cool, but it sounds like he is saying, "That is Tool!" It is so adorable, and he still calls me "Bagon." He had already out grown his jeans from Christmas so we had to get him 5T's from old navy and luckily the length works. I think he had worn his old pants maybe one or two times, I didn't realize how fast he would grow out of them. We technically should have gotten him a size 6 but they are just way to big around the waist and he is swimming in them. I am hoping these pants (we only got him 2 pairs this time) will last all winter and through the spring. Thank goodness he comes to Texas in the summers because he can still fit in all 3T's for shorts, he is so skinny but his legs are just way to long.

I cannot believe how fast he is growing up. He is talking so much more, and was in a really good mood for our visit. We had a lot of fun. It gets harder and harder to have to say goodbye to him, and Cam is going back up to Iowa in October to see him. We decided to drive up over Thanksgiving so we can take the dogs with us, and try and save some money since flights are so much more expensive around Holidays. Then Cam is flying up on Christmas Day to pick him up, they will fly back to Dallas and we will spend Christmas here. I am already planning out his week stay here over Christmas.

We found out he is going to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle for Halloween and we got to see some really cute pics. I love Halloween, it is one of my favorite holidays, after Christmas of course. I hope one day we can take Blake trick-or-treating for Halloween, that would be so much fun! I put together a little package for him that I will mail off in about a week. Hope he enjoys his Halloween card and Halloween stickers.

We are missing him like crazy but luckily have been able to webcam with him whenever Cam's parents babysit him. In 5 months our little man will be 4!!! Completely crazy how fast time flies by!
