Playing with TONS of beads at our aunts house in FL. Looking like Mr. T
Our quick visit to the beach while in FL for thanksgiving.
My hair after sleeping for 2 hours in the van...
My winter hat that I love to wear every day in the house or outside.
Puckering for the camera...Handsome little boys.
This is Jaron's silly cheezy smile. LOVE IT!!!
Blowing bubbles for the first time. Tasted them for the first time too.
Riding his bike on our last day of warm weather.
We drove to FL for thanksgiving and made a quick visit to the beach. I asked Jacob to smile for a picture and this is what he did...don't ask
And here I just said "look out at the water so I can get a picture and this is what he did...again...look at the silly face.
We went bowling and he loved it...
Then they took a ride on the bull
And the dreaded 8 hour drive home. They slept for 2 hours like this. Children sure do have it made.
Jacob pulled another tooth in his bed the other night. He was so excited that he did it by himself and he didn't cry. So that is 2 on the bottom now and the one that got knocked out early from the top.
Here is the big boy bed they sleep in now in Jacob (and now Jaron's) room. They love it. The problem now is trying to get Jaron to stay in it and not climb up with Jacob at night. I am just glad we got it now so they can get settled and used to it before the baby arrives in April.
Well here they are...daddy's little buddies.
Something about watching them sleep. He is so sweet. I had to take this picture. Jaron is getting his second set of tubes put in his ears Tues. 20th at 8:15am. He continues to get ear infections and this will help the problem. He is also in a big boy bed now. No more crib. We are preparing for baby brother on the way. He is now sleeping in the room with his brother. He also is potty training. Doing alright with that. He knows he shouldn't poop in his underwear so he waits until I put a diaper on at bedtime to do his business. Smarter than we give them credit for.
This is how I found Jacob the other day. I did not tell him to put those glasses on and I did not tell him to get that book. He was just sitting there when I walked in and immediately walked back out for the camera.
Early morning picture before things got too crazy. Jacob drinking his chocolate milk and still holding the dog he sleeps with and Jaron with a mouth full of peanut butter chips. The first thing he goes for in the morning.
And here are those silly glasses again. I don't know about you but I was dying laughing!!!
Granna bought these glasses and the boys look hilarious in them.
No matter how many times I say "get off the table" they still get on it every day. So I give up. This was too cute to fuss at them. That is one of the hardest things about parenting, not laughing when you shouldn't.
Here's Jacob wearing the same teeth Jaron had on in his blog pictures. Silly Boys!
Here's a cute one of them together dressed for church. I had to have Jacob hold Jaron's shoulder so he wouldn't come running toward he camera. It turned out good.
This is what happens when Jacob tries to draw or color at the counter. Or do anything for that matter. Jaron wants to be right there with him. Jaron likes to color but he also likes to throw crayons so we have to sit him in the high chair under supervision if he is going to do any kind of art work.
My big boy! I can't believe he is 5 years old. He is so heavy. I can't pick him up anymore. Sometimes he still comes in my bed in the early morning hours. He told me this last time that he wanted to get in my bed so I wouldn't have to be by myself. (daddy works 3rd shift) How sweet...He's warming up to the idea of a brother. Now that we know it's not a sister he seems to be ok with it. He did cry at first though. "I wanted a sister"
Well Jaron has grown very fond of daddy over the last few months. He likes to lay in the bed with Chris and on the couch with him a lot. He go into his room and gets a blanket from his crib and brings it to the couch to lay with daddy. It's adorable.
They were ready for church but Jaron can't wait to see the picture on the camera so I said smile and he is running toward me before the camera clicked. "I wanna see!"
We got some silly teeth from a candy machine or something and thought this would a moment to capture. He walked around with them in for a few minutes. He knew it was funny. I ask Jaron "Where is mommy's baby?" and he pats my belly with both hands and says "baby belly". And he also will just come up to me at any given time and lift my shirt to kiss my belly.
Jaron loves to eat those peanut butter morsels used to bake with. And they are great for calories since he's so little. Well this time he got a little too much in his mouth. He looks like a chipmunk.
And this was taken the other night. I tried to be cool and put a lot of bubbles for them to play. Well Jaron kept wiping his eyes and mouth with his bubble covered hands. He couldn't figure out why the bubbles wouldn't go away. It was tear free but he still didn't like the taste.
And once again a handsome little picture of them all dressed up for church. We don't always dress them alike.
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.
