Jacob - Month 5

Jacob is one very solid baby.  He has outgrown an immense amount of baby clothes.  He weighs 19 pounds already.  It's not the weight that is causing him to outgrow all his clothes, it's his height!  The boy is 26 1/2 inches long and most of that being torso.  Onesies, sleepers, or anything with snaps have to be in larger sizes

He continues to entertain with his laughs, smiles, sqeuals and expressions... as seen above.

Happy 5 months, Jacob!

Baby Jeff

Thank you Mary for the baby pictures of Jeff.  I knew that Jacob looked like Jeff but I didn't quite realize how much he looked like him until now.  Funny story... as I am posting these pictures, Dylan looks up at them and says, "Is that Jake?"

Tummy Time

Jacob enjoying some tummy time & practicing his rolling skills.

I love the classic string of drool dangling from his lip.

Look!  We shrunk Jeff!  Talk about a mini-me.  Maybe it's just me, but when I saw this picture all I can see is a much smaller version of Jeff with no facial hair, haha.  Maybe it's just the angle or something.  Who knows.  I do think that he looks more and more like Jeff as he grows though.

Cuddling & Cartoons

Dylan is so sweet to his little brother.  He enjoys playing & interacting with him more and more each day.  In this picture, they are cuddling on Mommy's bed & watching morning cartoons together.  I love that Dylan was playing with Jacob's hair, lol.  Jacob's hair, by the way, stands up like that on it's own.  Yes, he actually has a natural mohawk.  I didn't even know that was possible.

Dylan loves to help me when I am baking anything.  He already has quite a list of accomplishments including all sorts of cookies, pizza dough and cupcakes too!  He does the pouring & Mommy does the mixing.  However, if it can be mixed by hand, Dylan will take over.  He's a great helper.

His favorite part is being the taste tester for the frosting & decorating with sprinkles!

March Monsoon

One very, very rainy weekend, Dylan went outside to splash in the puddles.  There was a small stream running through our backyard.  There was water everywhere!
