Who Would've Guessed...More Jake Pics!

I once said that when I had kids my blog would not revolve around them, it would still be about me and my life. Well, little did I know my entire world would revolve around and be consumed by this little guy. Even though I didn't know he'd be almost all we would think and talk about, I think that's the way it should be, especially right now while he's so little and we're all he's got to keep his needs met. I think everything we do right now is in some way for him.


So, since I know he's why most of you check our blog anyway now...here are some pics of our sweet little sleeper! :)

Is it bragging for me to say he's just beautiful? ;-)



Our baby Moose




check out that double chin. wohoo! After all the weight worries.




those hands are always by that face!

Last week Jess and I had a photoshoot with Jake and Jaxon. Too funny that they were already wearing the exact same socks! How sweet are these boys? (Jaxon 1 week, Jake 7.5 weeks) And how cute is Kinley looking at Jake? She has one of the sweetest smiles I've ever seen. She loves these boys!

A Bathtime Story

Dad, do you think this bathtub makes me look fat?

Jake LOVES his baths. He HATES the getting out process of being cold in his towel and then having to endure lotion and getting dressed. Bathtime always starts with smiles and about 2/3 of the time ends with tears. He is too cute!

Sweet Pics...Just Because!

Jake is growing so fast...he now weighs in at 11lbs!

The Hard Life...

Today was Jake's first day on his play mat. It was really hard work, as you can see.

So observant. He was knocking around the attachments. I was surprised that he actually interacted with it and knew what to do!

Tummy time. He can keep his head up for quite a while. (I just noticed it looks like he's resting it on his left hand, but it's just the angle of the pic)

He's done. :)

He fell asleep in my arms after that and I transferred him to the swing where he then slept for about an hour. I'm so glad he's learing to entertain himself and will let me get a few things done. I thought those pics were too cute not to post. I love seeing him learn and grow even though it's also sad how fast he's changing.

Jake's Best Bud is here!

Laughing at something Jess said... :)

Jess and all of her "rubbers." Let's just say she likes to be pampered while she's laboring. :)

Hey...she didn't have an epidural and was in tons of pain so that's why we were there!

Jake is so excited that Jaxon is finally here. Jaxon has kicked him several times as Jake has sat on top of him while Jess was holding him. Jake's excited to have his buddy finally outside where he can see him!

He's so cute and we're so happy for Ryan, Jess, and Kinley.

S

Currently, in our house, 'S' stands for SMILE, SERIOUS, and SLEEP. You see, Jake is usually doing one of these three things. If he's not smiling, he's being very serious, studying his surroundings. If he's neither of these things, he must be sleeping! :-)

If possible, he gets cuter everyday and I love that he's now been smiling for two weeks. It is SO easy to get him to smile now! I had been worried he was going to be so serious, but he's really lightened up! I know he is my sunshine and makes me smile all the time. I'm so proud of him and LOVE spending my days with him. I am so thankful for our decision for me to stay home with him. Now's not the easiest time to switch from two incomes to one (Believe me!) but it is most definitely worth the sacrifice.

Above and below are pics of one of my daily conversations with Jake. He LOVES to talk and is a great listener! He is the sweetest!

listening so intently!

If he's awake...this is probably the look on his face. Sooo serious! :-)

Catching some Sunday afternoon zzz's with Daddy

'Moose' is back! :-) (notice his sleeper)

Sleeping on Lissa on Valentine's Day :-) He's looking very long lately!

Sleeping in the swing. Super sweet! I feel so lucky to get to look at this every day! I know he's growing so fast and that he will not stay my baby forever, so I'm soaking it up for now and trying to cherish it.

Hope everyone has a great week!

Recent Happenings...

Just waking up in his car seat after Matt's game

At Matt's game last Tues night with the Colemans (Jaxon will be here in one week!!)

Jake's Great Granny Jimmy was sick when he was born and for a couple of weeks afterwards. She didn't meet him during that time since she didn't want to get him sick. Below is her meeting him for the first time! :) (She is Jeremy's dad's mother)

I love him in his lil jeans and converse

I love his feet crossed- and sticking out. :-)

starting to really enjoy bath time! :)
