Jonah still sleeps a lot during the day and not so much at night. I am still trying to avoid things that might be giving him so much gas. I soon will be down to plain oatmeal and dry toast with some pretzels for a snack. He really is a content baby. No complaints here.
Jaron sure does love Jonah...he won't go to bed without giving him kisses. I mean pitches a fit WILL NOT go to bed. Jaron is doing much better eating and his speech is coming along much better. I think having a new baby in the house has kinda forced him to grow up. He woke up in the middle of the night last night asking to go pee. He had on a diaper and did not want to pee in it. So that is a major step for him. I was not happy to be woke up but was glad to know he is growing up. So now he is the big brother.
Jacob cannot get enough of Jonah. He just wants to hold him and lay with him and he has even attempted to pick him up while in the bouncer. He always asks when is it time to feed Jonah. "Is he ready for some milk mommy?" And whenever Jonah cries Jacob runs to find a pacifier and help him calm down. The other sunday at church my mom was walking him to the car and Jacob said "where are you going with that baby?" He thought she was taking him home. When we leave to go somewhere he asks "can jonah come too?"
Daddy & Jonah...He looks so little laying on daddy like this. So precious...Here's a little video of Jonah wide awake at 10:30 last night. He is starting to make some noises and is more alert and aware of his surroundings.
My 3 boys all dressed up for church. So handsome. It is rare to get a picture with all 3 of them looking at the camera.
And here is Jonah in his little suit. He is such a happy baby. We have learned that mommy can't eat dairy or it makes his belly hurt ALL NIGHT. (especially blizzards from dairy queen) And I forgot to post Friday after his 2 week check up. He is up to 9 lbs. 3 oz. and she said he looked good and it was not necessary to check his jaundice again. So I am glad that is all behind us. Jonah is still nursing every 2 hours so sleep is rare for mommy.
Well this is what Jacob made with some paper and tape. He said it is a "Buzz Lightyear" helmet. I thought it was very creative.
And here is Jacob holding his baby brother. He just loves him so much. He always gives him a passy when he cries and he wants to help me so much. The first thing he said when they came to see us at the hospital. He said "Mommy, I am so glad you aren't pregnant anymore". He was so worried about me, because towards the end I was so uncomfortable. He is my caring and sensitive child.
1st day home from the hospital and Jaron COULD NOT GET ENOUGH! He loves his baby brother.
He sure does love him. Can't get enough of him. If I would let him I am sure he would sit in the bouncer with Jonah.
Jonah got his first bath in the kitchen sink. He didn't cry too bad.
And here he is getting a suntan. The doctor prescribed it for his jaundice.
Daddy & Jonah taking a nap.
This is what Jaron did when I got the play pin out the other day. He put all his "babies" in there and covered them up. So precious...
Sunday in church Jacob was sitting with his legs hanging off the pew and said to me "Look mommy me feet almost can touch the floor. I am almost like a big man." It was so cute and so funny! So here is what a "big man's" hands look like! :-)
Just took a bath and could not resist trying out Big Brother's bike
This is what his hair looks like every morning...no kidding....
Well I haven't posted in a while and it's because I am trying to stay off my feet as much as possible as this pregnancy comes to an end. I don't have any pictures to post either. The boys are doing good. Running around like always acting silly and just being boys. Right now Jaron has an ear infection in his right ear. So he is on another round of antibiotics. They are very excited to see their brother too. We are counting down the days.
Cute little pipe cleaner glasses we made...
My little professors...
And last but not least, Jacob was in his first wedding. My sister got married and he was the ring bearer. He was so funny, winking at the audience and raising his eyebrows at everyone. He did very well though. Went right up on stage and stood in his place with no problems.
Well now that they share a room this is what sometimes happens at bedtime. Jaron's bed is the trundle on the floor that rolls out from under Jacob's bed. And when Chris went in to check on them the other night before leaving to work this is how they were sleeping. Jaron loves his big brother. It is so sweet but just won't work all night. Trust me I have had Jaron in my bed and he kicks and squirms and Jacob would have been in the floor before long. So we put him back in his own bed. They are getting so close lately.
And these are some little pipecleaner glasses we made for them yesterday. They loved them. So cute!!! Jaron just got over being sick. He was showing all the same symptoms Jacob had with the flu and strep throat. Since they are both very contagious and I only took Jacob to the doctor to begin with. Then Jaron got sick. They just called me in some meds for him too. Assuming he had the same thing. He was running a high fever and coughing ALL NIGHT. So glad I didn't get it!!!
Well it is official I think we can say Jaron is potty trained. He wears underwear all day long and tells me when he has to go poop and pee. I only put a diaper on him after he falls asleep at night. He even stays dry during his 2 hour nap everyday. THANK GOD. He is obviously not happy in this picture. I took the flashlight away for the picture and he was NOT HAPPY. So I gave it back but forgot to wipe the tears off. He still looks handsome.
Jacob drew this. Notice all the details. Shoelaces tied and a basketball on the shirt. Candy cane in bottom right corner and beside that he wrote eggs.
Dressed for church...Getting so big and so smart.
Another church day. This suit is too small. This is the last time he'll be able to wear it. He has suspenders underneath and they are so handsome.
