Jacob - Month 2

Jacob's 2nd month was a bit more challenging than the first, believe it or not.  He gave us a couple of weeks of sleepless nights coupled with gassy issues, ha ha.  Either way, it passed and we survived.  He is back to his super happy & sweet self.  Jacob is a very smiley kiddo.  All you have to do is smile at him & he lights right up.   Jacob had a few giggles already too!  He is very close to rolling over.  One of his new favorite past times is staring at his fists with amazement which he holds straight up in the air.  He is so comical to watch.

As you can see from the picture above, he has chunked up quite a bit too!  At his 2 month check-up, he weighed 13 pounds 12 ounces & measured 24 inches long.  He has already almost doubled his birth weight.  He is one solid little boy!

Poor Jacob had to get his first round of vaccines as well at this check-up.  He surprised me!  He only screamed with the initial shot but was done by the time they got the band-aid on his leg.  What a champ!!!

Happy 2nd Month Jacob!

Faith Christmas 2010

 Grandma & Pappy Faith celebrated their Christmas the weekend before.  Dylan is super excited for Christmas this year! He has been so entertaining to watch.  His reactions to everything are so exaggerated.  It's awesome.  Three is a great age to capture the excitement of the holidays.  It's just as exciting to be the parent!  It's going to be a fun Christmas!


Jacob hanging out on Grandma's lap.  

Every present he opened was like it was the first.  He was so adorable.  Dylan quite enjoyed every single present and has spent every day since then digging in and playing with all of his new toys.  Thank you all so much for all the awesome gifts!!!

2 days until Christmas!!!

Cooing & Smiling


Jacob at 7 weeks old.  He takes after his Mommy & big brother already.  He is constantly trying to talk or making cooing noises.  I even caught a smile on camera... which is rare.  Usually I'm 2 seconds too slow.
Enjoy!

5 more days until Christmas

Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer


Dylan's favorite Christmas song.  He knows most of it but gets stuck from time to time and needs a little help remembering the words.  He only sang half of it on camera but I still wanted to share with all of you.  Enjoy!

11 days until Christmas!!!

My boys...

Christmas Cookies!

Ahhh Christmas!  Everyone loves the holidays!  One very small element that I love...  Christmas baking!  Dylan and I have been making all sorts of yummy cookies.  Dylan loves to help with the cookies.  He is an expert at pouring ingrediants in the bowl now... mixing too.  This year I have found several amazing recipes!  These chocolate chip cookies are the BEST that I have ever made.  I was a little skeptical at first because they are a little different than your typical choc chip cookie but yes... just amazing!  I also have finally beat my cookie nemesis, the oatmeal raisin cookie.  Baking like this is not really helping me drop those last ten baby pounds, ha ha ha.
