State Fair 2010

Another year at the state fair - Jax really enjoyed it this year because we totally catered to him. We went to the children's aquarium and the butterfly exhibit. We ate some food and Jeremy won Jax a scooby doo doll from throwing darts. We had a great time and wore both boys out by lunch time. I didn't take too many pictures but here are the ones I got while we were there. Enjoy!

Jake is 6 months and mommy is 32

Another year older but what can ya do. I had a great birthday this year! Jeremy began my morning with a new Vera Bradley purse that I was wanting and some bath and body works foot stuff and a new workout shirt. I finally get to start working out again this month after my last hernia surgery. Anyways, I went shopping with my mom and sister and then to Fogo de Chao with Jeremy, DeAnn and Doug. We had a great dinner as always. The following day, we took the boys to the fair. What a great weekend!

Jake also had a milestone on my birthday. He turned 6 months. He's starting to sit on his own pretty good. He's eating well....as you can see and he's finally sleeping in his own bed. He's getting better each night. We go to the doctor in a couple of weeks for his next check up so I'll give you details later. Here are a couple of pictures of him. He's my happy little boy......so pleasant and loves watching every move his big brother makes!

First Bath Together

I've been waiting for this moment basically since Jake was born. It is so much easier to bath them together than separate. Jeremy and I usually take one to each bathroom and get the job done. Now we can do it all in one bathroom. Jake still isn't completely sitting up by himself but with the help of a chair, he's doing great. So I gave it a try the other night and it went pretty well. He slumps occasionally but he loves it. He kept trying to sit up in the baby bath so I knew it was getting time. Here are a few pictures of my boys

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!
