Play Time with Jax and Jake

These are truly some random pictures I've taken of the boys lately. Some are together and some are by themselves....doing what they do best....playing. My boys are so sweet to each other. I know they are still very young but I have high hopes that it will always be this way. Enjoy

Midlothian Homecoming Parade

I took Jax and Jake to the homecoming parade again this year. We met up with DeAnn and her boys along with my mom. It was stinkin hot and as always, a very long parade. Jax always enjoys the band and the candy that's thrown out. I've included some pictures of the boys from that day. DeAnn brought her camera. We even tried to take one of all the cousins together and you see how well that turned out.....boys....what a mess! Enjoy the pics

Rolling Rolling Rolling

I actually caught him in action. Jake rolled over for the first time today - 5 months old. He's way ahead of his brother :) He's been trying for the past couple of weeks and finally did it. I was actually just taking some random pictures of him and over he went. I couldn't believe I actually got it. I've included a few more pictures. Isn't he a cutie!

Jake turns 5 months

Jake is officially 5 months old. We had a well baby visit a week ago....we are a little behind because its so hard to get an appointment at the doctor. Jake weighs 19.1 lbs and is 27 inches long. Yes, once again, I have another boy in the 95th percentile. Can you imagine my grocery bill when they get older.

This has been a fun month with Jake. He is the happiest baby and very predictable. He only cries when he is hungry or tired and he is a very scheduled child. He is trying to sit up right now and tries to roll over but hasn't quite made it all the way. We'll get there. I'm not rushing any of it...it makes me nervous to have 2 that are mobile. He grabs toys....puts everything in his mouth and talks a lot.

Jake has been a little sicker than Jax was at this stage. He's had a cold for a while which I did take him to the doctor for but ofcourse they said it was viral and couldn't do anything for him. When we went back for the well baby visit, he had a double ear infection. I would have never known because he never fused or pulled at his ears. He's such a good baby! He's still not sleeping through the night every night. Sometimes he does and sometimes he doesn't. Other than that, I can't complain. I'm a very lucky mom to have 2 wonderful little boys! Until next time, we'll keep you posted!

Mother's Day Out...So it begins!

This is the only picture I could get of Jax standing still before we left for his first day of mother's day out. He's not a big fan of taking pictures at the moment....

Jax started Noah's Ark Bible School at First Baptist Midlothian on Tuesday. He will be going Tuesday and Thursdays while I work. I've been pretty anxious and nervous about all this for the past week. Jax is at that point where he needs to be socialized...as I say. He doesn't do well when we drop him off at Sunday school lately and he's use to being around me and Grandma Jackson all day.

I took him in Tuesday morning and gave him a kiss in the car before I pulled him out of his car seat. I told him I loved him very much and sat there and cried for a minute. He was looking at me like what the heck is wrong with you. We walked in and I took him into his room. He got a little frantic but never cried. His two teachers are so sweet and all the other kids were playing and calm. I told him that Honey (my mom) would pick him up after school and that I would see him later and I left. I never heard him scream. My mom was able to look at the security cameras all day and give me updates. He played with the other kids, ate his lunch and even took a 40 minute nap......not bad for the first day. He loved the play ground as well. We went back on Thursday and he had an even better day. So far so good.

They will be learning there letters, colors, shapes and even Spanish. He's a head of the game already because he's a pretty smart kid but I know he'll have fun. So far so good! We look forward to seeing how this makes him grow and mature over the next year. Until next time, we'll keep you posted!
