Well Jacob has been wiggling his bottom tooth for about a month or two now and it finally got ready to pull. Daddy helped and Jacob was glad to get it out. It is his first tooth to come out by itself but he actually knocked out the top tooth in Sept. 06 by accident.
And here they are playing and being silly. Jacob has a popsicle in his right hand and was letting Jaron lick it. Another one of those moments when they were playing nice.
My two handsome boys playing nice together. (RARE) So cute when they do laugh and play without all the fighting.
And this is Jaron about to dive on top of Jacob on the couch. BUSTED!
Jacob sure does love Precious...he literally can't get enough of her.
And finally I got a picture of him on his birthday bike. He loves it! Now we just need to teach him to ride without training wheels.
Well here he is trying to poop in the potty. He was looking at his potty book. Love the underwear around the ankles. I had to capture the moment. He peed about 4 or 5 times today in the potty and wet his underwear once. We put a diaper on him at bedtime and he asked me for underwear. He must not like the feel of a diaper after wearing underwear all day. We are gonna keep trying. Gotta have him fully potty trained in 7 months. And here's another short video for your enjoyment.
Well here they are all dressed for church. Jacob in his first suit. He likes to dress up for church like daddy.
I go to the ultrasound specialist October 10th at 3pm to get a 3D of the baby and look for any birth defects. We also hope to find out if it is a boy or girl while we are there.
I love this! I have worked and waited and prayed for the day he could pucker that top lip and he has finally learned how. I pinch the top lip all the time holding it for 3-5 seconds and we work with it during therapy twice a week also. One more step to looking and talking normal. Thank the Lord!
For those who are not familiar with a cleft baby this is a major step in the right direction. This for me is like watching a not cleft affected child learn to ride a bike for the first time. Not all cleft children can move their top lip while talking, unfortunately.
After a blue sucker...
Blowing out his candle on his Thomas cake!
Just posing so handsome...
Showing Jaron how to pucker...
Eating some cake while Jaron enjoys his Thomas train off the cake.
Jaron knows how to blow I was trying to get him to pucker his lips while blowing. He did it few times but of course not while the camera was on. So better luck next time. But I got a few close ups anyway.
He has also learned to suck through a straw!!! THANK GOD! I thought he would never do it. Wednesday was the first time he did it. I guess the ear infection is gone. But now I think he is trying to cut some more teeth. He still only has 4 on top so he keeps his entire hand in his mouth most of the time.
I have told him I have a baby in my belly and anytime I show him my belly he says "baby". It's cute but I am sure he doesn't understand the reality of it.
Well Jacob has a birthday coming up and I can't believe he is going to be 5 years old. Times flys!!! He wanted me to take a picture of him with his bear. It has his name on the front of it. Anyway, he still tells me he loves the baby in my belly and keeps saying she or her. I have been telling him don't say that because we don't know and I don't want to get my hopes up and then be wrong. I would rather just wait and see. But he is excited about me having another baby. He already tells me things we can buy for it.
Jaron put on Daddy's army hat just like this and I had to get a picture. It was hilarious. He looks so serious like "what are you looking at?" Right now he is trying to get rid of an ear infection. He started Amoxicillan last thurs. and he was not getting better. He is not sleeping and is very cranky all day long. So I took him to the doctor yesterday and she said the antibiotics were not working for we switched him to a different one. Hope this takes care of it.
Another creative train track that he insisted I get a picture of it.
We let him have a donut with chocolate icing and he got it all over his face.
This is what I got when I said "Smile"
No for real just smile normal.
Jaron was sitting on our bed with Daddy looking at the baseball card book...so cute...
And here they are my handsome little boys ready for church Wednesday night. They are growing up so fast.
Well Jacob had his tonsils & adenoids removed Aug. 14th and the recovery hasn't been very easy. It hurts to swallow and he cries in his sleep a lot with pain and wakes up nauseated a lot too. So we are trying to get past that. He is hungry but can't swallow to eat so he eats a lot of soft things like yogurt, applesauce, icecream and lots of ice cold water. He wanted me to take a picture of the track he made and thought he should lay down and be in the picture also. So here it is. One of the smaller tracks he has made. He gets very creative with these but this just shows you that he wasn't felling good that day. His bottom tooth is also lose so he'll be losing that soon. Anyway, we are expecting our third baby and Jacob is already talking to my belly and I am only 7 weeks. He wants a sister but is quick to tell anyone who asks, "We don't know yet". He is excited that mom is getting another baby. When he is fully recovered I plan to start a homeschool routine with him so we can get on a schedule. He actually doesn't have to start until next year because he won't be 5 on Sept. 1st. But I would like to start him now on some basic things. Sorry it took so long to post. I will try to get some more pictures this week.
Well I usually try to post every week but have been a very big slacker and waited almost 3 weeks this time. Jaron is doing good with therapy and seems to be getting a little taller just not gaining any weight still. We are expecting our 3rd child so Mommy has been a little tired. Not to mention Jacob had his tonsils taken out and the recovery has not been easy.
So here they are laying together on the couch early in the morning. Jaron is learning to make new sounds in speech therapy and has started picking up his spoon some to feed himself. Things are progressing. He has also started to chew some things too so that was exciting! Sorry it took so long to post I know there are some grandparents out there who were patiently waiting. Oh and I can't forget to mention we have been trying to potty train him also so things have been kinda crazy around here.
This hat is so silly and when we go to our friends house he likes to walk around with it on all day. He knows it is silly and will just look at you so serious.
Here are my little patriots fans! And notice Jaron, like always, On the move!!! He was running toward the camera.
And this was taken last night before we left for church. They look so cute in that orange. Jaron is starting to potty train as of today. He peed in the potty before his bath tonight and I put underwear on him afterwards. He wet 2 pairs of underwear and peed in the toilet 4 or 5 times before bedtime. We'll see how long it takes him to get the hang of it. He is still only 25lbs. He has started chewing some and puts the spoon to his mouth only when told. The only vegetable he will put in his mouth willingly is peas. (you know it's a green ball) I know it is all behavioral but we have to get past it. So we are still doing therapy once a week for feeding and once a week for speech. He is trying to talk more too. Until next time...
And here they are "Daddy's little patriots!"
Of course he wanted a picture of the clown hat after brother got his taken.
And this is what happens when you leave a laundry basket on the coffee table and leave the room at my house. They were CRACKING UP LAUGHING!!!
We were on our way out the door for church and I had to get a picture with my "Big J".
Jacob went fishing for the first time on vacation and caught 2 fish. This is one of them. He didn't want to touch it though.
And here is is with his great grandpa reading the paper. He said "mommy you have to be quiet we are reading the newspaper".
Here I am holding my handsome little man walking out the door for church.
And this is in the airport in Boston. A kids play area. I don't think he was supposed to stand on this, but you know Jaron he will climb on anything possible. He jumped off several times too!
This was also in the play are for kids in the airport. Here they are taking flying lessons. Or should I say jumping out of planes lessons. Jaron couldn't sit still.
And of course since Jaron got a picture with my glasses Jacob wanted one too. They are both so funny and they know what it takes to make mommy smile. Jacob went to the dentist Tuesday and they said it might be a while before his top tooth comes in but he should be losing the bottom front teeth soon. No cavities!!! Oh and he has also been complaining of leg pain at night so I explained to him it is growing pains and he is so excited he is growing. He tells everyone about it.
Jaron can't resist Mommy's sunglassed. These are the latest ones and he looks hilarious in them!!!
And here are the boys all dressed up for church. Obviously not feeling good. They never sit still like this anymore. Jaron has an ear infection and congested and Jacob is coughing and congested too.
