Jacob is so handsome, his eyes are going to be what girls can't resist ONE DAY 30 yrs from now.
And oh that brotherly love. Here he is hugging his brother with all he's got. Notice Jaron trying to get away.
Here's the two of them all ready for church. Jacob loves to dress like Jaron. I don't have matching vests but this was close enough. It took 3 tries to get one with both of them smiling at the same time.
We were out of town and the hotel didn't have a crib so we put Jaron in the bed with Jacob. This is how they fell asleep.
Here Jaron is writing on his magna doodle that he LOVES so much!
And here is Jaron in the floor seconds after I walked out of the room. Thank God I put the pillows there, just in case!
Our handsome boys all dressed for church.
Here's a good close up of Jaron's lip and nose for those who want to see how bad the scar is and if you can even notice. I feel like he looks almost "normal". His top lip isn't quite perfect so that is what gives it away. But the scars aren't very visible at all.
Jacob got a little carried away with the paint the other day. He think it needs to be all over his hands front and back. Silly boy!
Here they are, my two monsters playing in the bath tub. Mommy usually gets a bath while trying to bath them....They love to splash.
And oh what a CLIMBER. He loves to climb in the toy basket and sit on top of all the stuff.
Look at that smile. He's so cute and his little personality is adorable.
He got Mater the tow truck from Cars Movie!
He got Cars Movie Leap Pad Book.
He got an Aqua Doodle!
And Lightning McQueen Car from Cars Movie! Man we have seen that movie so much we all can quote it. I would be suprised if Jaron starts saying "Mater withouth the ta". Jacob says it everyday. Love those boys. Thank you to all the family who sent money to make this Christmas a good one for our boys.
Jaron is so happy when he's not sick. We had about a 2 weeks break and he got another sinus infection. After 2 weeks of a green nose and coughing all night every night the doctor finally gave him an antibiotic today. So hopefully we will get some sleep this week. He is learning to eat some various snacks and trying new things with Occupational Therapy every week.
We are about to start speech therapy also. He is trying to talk a lot more lately. Trying to say Baby and Bubbles and apple and much more. But things just don't come out right. It's almost like he says those words without using his top lip. If you can imagine that. So we are going to work on it and I am massaging his lip and cheeks to help those muscles losen up. Everything is so tight after surgery and since I have been rubbing his lip he seems to move it more now and licking his top lip when eating too. What a little personality. He is not scared of anything. He would jump off the table if I let him. NO FEAR! So we have our hands full. And daddy wants more kids. Um....I am not sure if Mommy can handle anymore. :-) I used to think I wanted lots of kids but never knew they would be so full of energy. Maybe girls are different....but we can't be guaranteed a girl so not sure if I want to try.
We found a way to rig the tree for the boys on Christmas morning. And here are some pictures of Jaron opening his presents. You can see pics of Jacob on his blog.
This is what happens when your one year old gets too close to the tree. The stand broke so now we don't have a tree. Oh well, better luck next year.
What a cutie in his new little pants without a shirt.
Jaron got into the dogs water, can you tell.....notice the soaking wet hair
My two handsome boys all dressed up for church.
Well Jaron is eating so good now, taking anything we give him. Cheerios, cheetos, goldfish, pretzels, fish stick and he even bit a chicken finger from burger king last sunday. I could not believe it. I hope this means he is over the gagging so easy and puking so much. He is only taking zantac now morning and night. I guess that is helping. Not sure and I don't want to stop the med to see if he pukes without it. I put him on our scales here at home just now and it said he weighs 22 pounds. Not sure how accurate that is but it sounds good to me! He weighed 19lbs. 5oz when he was sick and got IV fluids the other week. Thanks for praying everyone!!!
Well the boys are getting so big and so cute. Jaron gives hugs and learning to give kisses too. He loves watching Baby Einstein on the "little TV". Jacob was enjoying a candycane in this last picture. He just told me this morning we need to get a baby sister....I said NOT YET!!!
They were just a little mezmorized by whatever they were watching. And how cute in their matching PJ's.
Well Jaron went to the Hosp for IV fluids and we got them. And now he seems to be over whatever he had. He is eating and really likes things he can put in his mouth himself.
Here's a cute one of him in his little wind pants. We really like this outfit on him. He was being. shy hiding and I caught him smiling. So thanks for the prayers and now we just need to worry about him getting chicken pox. He was exposed to them Sunday at church in the nursery. So now we just wait and see. It can be up to 21 days before they even show up.
Well Jaron has been sick AGAIN. He started coughing and fever on Thanksgiving day. He started puking the next day. He puked for 6 days and I went to the doctor and 2 diff. hospitals trying to get some fluids for him. He was so dehydrated. No wet diapers and no tears and his lips were so dry they were cracking and bleeding. I begged, cried, yelled and complained. They all keep saying he has a virus. FOR SIX days I don't think so! This is not normal, he couldn't keep down anything I put in his mouth. So I went to the pediatrician Thursday and saw a different doctor (they rotate) and she held my hand and apologized. She said all I can say is sorry. I am sorry someone hasn't done something sooner. She wrote up the orders and sent us to the hospital for IV fluids and 24 hour observation. FINALLY someone listened...
So Jaron got his fluids and drank milk while in the hospital with no nausea meds and kept it all down. Well when they discharged us Friday (yesterday) we came home and he climbed up on his brothers bed and PUKED ALL OVER IT! I couldn't believe it! So it's still a mystery as to what is wrong. I wonder if we will ever find out. He has lost 2 lbs. in 3 weeks and is down to 19.5 lbs. now. So little and all his clothes are falling off. Sometimes I feel like such a bad mom, I try so hard to help him gain...please say a prayer for us.
Jacob is eating so good right now. He eats two bowls of cereal in the mornings and is asking for pancakes before lunchtime. I am so glad thought because he is so skinny and has never really eaten good. It's always bothered me. I want him to get what he needs but we have always had to force him to eat anything.
Here is a cute one of the boys in the rocking chair. Jaron is getting more and more addicted to this blanket. If you didn't already notice it is in all 3 of the pictures I posted on his blog.
Well we put up our Christmas tree and Jacob said "Mommy you are a good builder" He said he loves the tree and cannot keep his hands off the little remote to change the lights blinking pattern. What is it about guys and remotes?
WHAT A RELIEF! He is asleep. Since last Wednesday Jaron has coughed puked and not eaten and barely drinking anything. The milk definately makes him puke so I have been giving him water & gatorade with a medicine dropper. He is so weak and tired. I wish my baby would get better.
This is the only thing he will do without me holding him. Watch baby einstein. Otherwise I have to hold him or he is sleeping. My back is killing me to say the least.
Now here's a cute one. He fell asleep in the living room floor and precious thought it was a good place for her to get comfortable also. His face is shiny because I put vitamin E on his dry cracking lips and on his scars. The doctors say it's just a virus and it will pass. WHEN!?!?!?!
This picture daddy took today of the boys playing while I went to the doctor. This is Jacob's fake smile. Showing the missing tooth oh so well.
We got a new puppy and here she is! Her name is Precious and she is a teacup poodle. She is only 3 months old and 3 1/2 lbs. The boys LOVE HER! Jaron lost 1 lb. last week while he was sick which he cannot afford to lose. He is back to eating now and has started a new thing. He goes to bed like normal at 7pm and wakes up around 1am for a few hours crying and will not hush or sleep. He wants me to hold him and I give in feeling bad letting him cry. Well it has been 4 nights in a row and MOMMY IS TIRED! I too him to the doctor today to make sure nothing was wrong and she said it is strickly behavoiral. I need to let him cry and break this habit now before it gets any worse. He stops crying when I hold him and screams the second I put him in the bed. He is so smart. He knows mommy's weakness. Oh and the cough has returned. I don't remember the last time he wasn't sick! What a day, what a week, what a month!!!
