Hope you have a few minutes. This may take a while. We had a very busy day. We started about 2:00 in the afternoon from Sarah's house. We headed to Graphix to see all of Jakob's girlfriends and relatives. He put his costume on in the back of the car. Here's how he tells the story.
A day in life of a Monkey on Halloween.
Candy, Candy, Candy. I walked quickly, because I can't run yet, from the car to the store.
I hurried in to see all my family and friends. My GGram was close by.
I showed my grandma my costume, but really wanted to play with the big blue water bottles.
I always have fun playing with the water bottles. I could still play with them while I was in costume.
I had fun with Aunt Marcia too.
So much fun, I already had to lay down for a rest. Let me tell you, but the end of the day I was 1 tired monkey.
We then headed over to see Papa and Nana at the office. We made a few stops along they way to show off my costume, but no pictures.
My cousin the chicken was there too. We played for a few minutes.
Here is a picture of our better side.
We went to see great grandma too.
She gave me a yummy orange sucker. I was very tired so I took off my costume.
After Great Grandma we went home and took a nap. When dad got home from work we went to see Grandpa and Grandma Brower.
They were very nice to put candy in my pumkin. However I stole their bowl and continued to add candy to my pumpkin.
Guess what - I laid down for a rest there too. This monkey business is hard work.
I slept pretty good on Friday night. I was very tired from being a monkey all day. I woke up Sat morning. We had a nice breakfast. I didn't have my costume on, but I still had to play monkey. Just trying to help dad load the dishwasher.
Overall it was a fun Halloween. Thanks everyone for the candy. Mom and dad said they will share a little with me. I saw them already starting to eat it last night.
Headed out for dinner tonight, so maybe we will have some more fun pictures to post tomorrow.
All my love,
Jakob, Mom & Dad
My Uncle Ryan came for a little while. Then Aunt Mary and Uncle Jon came too. We ate lefts over from last Sunday. Turkey and all the extras. It was yummy.
I love to play in my swing at GG's house.
Have a Fun Day and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. 
Before leaving for lunch we tried to get some family photos. Well here you see it. The only 1 that turned out. Jakob doesn't quite understand looking at the camera when no one is behind it to take a picture. We will try for more this week.
We hope that everyone had a good weekend and are getting ready for Turkey week. We all have so much to be Thankful for. 
You should see him now. He takes a bath in the big tub and uses the whole thing. He loves to try and drink out of the faucet. He will play for hours if we let him. 
We have also been trying to teach him to clean up his toys when he is done and clean up the mess after a meal. It has not worked at all, except he loves to mop the floor. He knows exactly how to push the button to get the cleaner to spray all over.
Jakob is feeling better, he is a little congested from his cold, but otherwise doing well. We took him out to Meijers last night, so we will see what he comes down with next. 
He recovered great from his surgery. He had a bad cold this weekend, but we stayed in all weekend and he is doing much better.
We had to wait about 1 hour so it was not too bad. Jakob came back to the post op room in his crib. He slept for another hour before he started to wake for us to pick him up. He had an IV in his foot, so it was hard to hold him for a little while. Once he came around he was ready to drink and go home. The doctor said he will have some pain for a few days, so we are going to stay at home and not do much. We have already watched Baby Einstein 4 times today. Going to Blockbuster in a bit to find some more movies. He is eating pretty well. The hospital did a great job we were home by 10:00. Just wanted to give everyone an update. 
Hope that you had a wonderful weekend.
