October was full of new developments, especially with speaking. Jakob is learning to put on his pants and speak complete sentences. He is also learning his letters and numbers. He got his second professional haircut on October 14th and still cried at the end of it. He requests the "Bible song" at bedtime for Jesus Loves Me and loves making coffee. He often takes the coffee carafe, pours it in his cup, and drinks it, saying "Daddy's coffee". Each weekend was filled with fall activities, including a visit to the Missouri Botanical Gardens, Rombach's farm, Boo at the Zoo and Halloween Happenings at the Childhood Center. We also celebrated Jakob's two year NICU homecoming on October 30th with a special treat from Steak 'n Shake and a present.
