All smiles!

Jaron has weighed approx 27 lbs. for about a year or more. I am trying to help him gain weight by supplementing with Pediasure and feeding him all day long with fruits and snacks and whatever he wants to eat really.
We went swimming at a friend of the family's house. It was fun and Jaron was so tired and almost fell asleep like this.
Sitting with Jonah...oh how he loves Jonah...he kisses him and tells me he loves him all the time. If Jonah spits up Jaron will run back to his room and get a burp cloth and wipe his mouth.
This was sunday morning all dressed for church. I said smile and Jaron was saying it too as a snapped the picture. SMILE!

Summer Fun!

We went to someone else's house that had a nice pool. The boys loved it.
We had vacation Bible school the other week at our church and Jacob had a blast!
Oh how he takes advantage of his role as "Big Brother" He is always bossing Jaron around and trying to give Jonah a bottle when he doesn't even need it. If Jonah is crying and Jacob can't get him to calm down with toys or a passy he will say "I don't know what he wants, just get him mommy".
They had fun the other day in the our little pool sliding and splashing and got a little sun too.




Summer Sillies...

My boys are so handsome --- not bragging just telling the truth!
I got these at the drug store the other day. They are suckers on the other side and too big to really eat but they were very funny.

Summer FUN!

We got to play outside one day last week. Check out the splash! And look at Jaron's face...
This was Jacob's idea...Mommy can we please play in with a laundry basket....

Oh I signed him up for public school...from home. Yes that is right...it's called the GA virtual Academy. I will get the curriculum in the mail and home school with public school material. It is free and he will only have to go to the school at the end of the year for testing. His first day is August 13th. He will be required to attended 5 days a week 4.5 hours per day. We log in his attendance online. I can't wait to get started.

TOO FUNNY!

Throughout the day I get the call "Mommy I'm all done!" So I went into the bathroom and this is what I found. I couldn't resist - had to go back and get the camera....too funny!
Here's a good close up of him. Daddy took this one today.
My three sons...so handsome!

Week of Firsts

Jonah went to his 1st braves game and he slept through most of it.
He went in his own room and slept in the crib all by himself. I always put my babies in their own room at 3 months. He did fine. No complaints.
And he has learned to grab this little toy someone got him at birth. It is so cute when he does it and he also started rubbing his eyes when he gets sleepy. Adorable...

Happy Birthday Jaron!

Well he is 3 years old CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! I am amazed at the changes in my little boy. He is doing better with eating and speech therapy. He got a Toy Story cake and I decorated the kitchen with streamers and balloons. HE LOVED IT!
The suspense was adorable....
And here it is a spiderman scooter (3 wheels) so he can ride with Jacob. He has a bike too but hasn't learned to pedal yet. Thank God we made it through those first 3 years. They were hard but so worth the results. We are planning to go to Boston for a team visit Sept. 5th. Jaron will see the speech therapist, plastic surgeon, occupational therapist (feeding) and dentist. I can't wait to hear what they have to say.

so sleepy...

Well this what happens when you let the 5 year old stay awake during nap time...he couldn't....

Chunky Lil' Man!

He just had a bath and was smiling so big! He loves the bath. He has learned how to kick and splash water, it is so cute.
We tried the jumper and he was not sure what to do with it. He is still too little to hold himself up good so we put a blanket behind him. He is doing better holding his head up though.


2 months old!

Well we had his 2 month check up yesterday and he is a WHOPPING 14 lbs. 3 oz. Bigger than Jacob and Jaron both were at this age. He is wearing 3 months size clothes. He is also 24 1/2 inches long. He's growing GREAT! Still enjoying mommy's milk only. It is such a good feeling to know that I have everything my baby needs. I just realized the other day the meaning of his name. I know Jonah means dove but what does dove mean? What did it mean in the bible? The dove returned to the Ark after the flood to let Noah and his family know that everything was going to be alright. To me Jonah was a relief, having a child without a cleft was God's way of telling me that everything is going to be alright. I thought it could never happen. It's almost like the devil was telling me "You can't have a normal baby". I was scared to get pregnant this last time and doubted the entire pregnancy if the ultrasound was right. "Does he really have a cleft and they just can't see it?" So Jonah has been my easiest baby. Even though he has colic from 11pm-12am EVERY night. It's so weird. Just one hour of crying then he's done. The doctor said he would grow out of it around 4 months old.

Silly Boys

Jaron loves wearing hat and gloves so this is what they did the other day in the house and it was 75 degrees outside.

Happy Baby!
