The Blog Is Moving...

The time has come for The Peanut Journey to move elsewhere.  The name is the same but the address is different.  I am trying to get everything in order at the new site.  I will keep this blog up for some time so that everyone can follow the link for the time being...

The "new" Peanut Journey...

Early Birds

Some how two night owls created two early birds.  The boys and I playing together in the morning.

Spring Time Fun

Daddy teaching Dylan how to cast his very own fishing pole.  Over Easter, Dylan got a fishing pole from Grandma & Pappy Faith.  There is a little rubber tire that you can attach to the end of it instead of a hook so that Dylan can practice his casting & reeling in the yard too.

Dylan also got a giant water gun from Momma G for Easter.  We had extremely nice weather this week so Dylan was able to enjoy it outside. By the end of the day, he was soaked from head to toe & completely wore out.  He had a blast though.

The Entertained

Dylan is the ultimate entertainer in Jacob's eyes.  I'm not exaggerating when I say that Dylan has Jacob's attention far more than anyone else.  Dylan is starting to pick up on the fact that his brother watches every move and tries to grab toys that he's playing with.... Therefore, Dylan now entertains as well.

Jacob - 6 Months

So our last trip to the doctor, the nurse made a slight mistake in measuring the very wiggly Jacob. I understand, he's quite a determined, wiggly boy. Anyways... Jacob now measures 28 inches long and weighs 20 pounds. Hopefully his ridiculous growth spurt has slowed a bit. He sits on the 90th percentile across the board. He still has a linebacker frame, lol. Jacob can pivot and scoot slowly to where he wants to go now and has recently moved from the "swimming" motion stage to starting to be able to get his knees under himself. I guess it won't be long until I'm chasing another boy around this house. Aside from new accomplishments, Jacob's favorite foods so far are carrots, sweet potatoes, bananas and applesauce... You should see the face I get when I give him green beans though, haha.

Happy 6 Months, Jacob!

Easter 2011

Dylan, Jacob, Jeff & I began our Easter adventures at Grandma & Pappy Faith's house.  There was an area specifically for Dylan to hunt Easter eggs.  There also was an "Adult" area with hidden Easter eggs including special prize eggs.  Fun, fun times.

The Easter Bunny hid eggs at our house which Dylan hunted in the morning when he woke up.  He also hunted eggs at Grandma & Pappy Faith's house & Great-Grandma & Pappy Sheets' house.  That's a lot of egg hunting!  This picture doesn't show it, but Dylan was ecstatic to hunt for eggs this year!

Uncle Cameron & Jacob

I love the faces that both of them are making in this picture!

We ended our marathon of an Easter at Grandma & Grandpa Gray's house for dinner.  Shortly after dinner, Dylan and I were playing outside on the porch with cars as it started to rain.  

There are very few instances when the weather is perfect for playing in the rain and this day was one of them.  It was very warm... no lightning... I had extra clothes for him...  Go for it buddy!  He ran around with the biggest grin on his face only stopping to splash in puddles here and there.

Brotherly Love

Dylan always wants to "hold" Jacob.  Being the big, strong baby that he is, Jacob makes it nearly impossible to "hold" him these days and would much rather just sit on you or next to you, haha.  These two were too cute!  I had to grab the camera quick to take a picture.  They sat like this for an entire 30 minute cartoon of Word World.  Jacob really cuddled in close to Dylan.  Two very cute little boys...
