Milestones

Adam has discovered that he has feet and toes! When he's waiting to be taken out of the crib...even for his midnight snack.....he plays with his toes. You may also notice his baby rolls. Today I put a onesie on him that Jacob was wearing at 12 months. It fit perfectly! Adam is also "crawling". He is inching forward like a worm, but he has yet to roll from his back to his stomach or sit unassisted. I was reflecting on the progression of my fantasies yesterday. When I was young I fantasized about being all grown up. I fantasized about proms and a wedding. There was also a time in my life that I fantasized about being Katie Koelz, O.D., or Katie Koelz, brilliant microbiologist. Yesterday I caught myself fantasizing about Adam rolling from his back to his stomach. Oh, how much easier life will be then!!!

Adam LOVES sweet potatoes!

Miner Jacob....as promised.

For Aunt Jessie Lou

It has once again been brought to my attention that I'm a little too slow getting pictures posted :) Here's a little catch up from the last month.

Jacob and Monny making Jacob's third birthday cake.

Looks like Jacob did a good job decorating his cake. We added the Little People before we brought it out to him.

Jacob at his birthday party. He has on his cowboy boots and a belt that Monny fashioned for him. And in his hand....a magic wand!

Adam likes to sit in the walker and is becoming interested in eating the toys.

(date on picture obviously wrong)

Adam loves his black and white sheep.

We went to Alabama to visit with Nana and Papa. While we were there we went to DeSoto Caverns. It was so beautiful and Jacob was excited to wear his miner's hat. I'll have to post a picture of that.

Jacob and the indian. He is wearing Aunt Shelby's old jacket....very old (she's 16). We were not equipped for the cold weather.

Jacob and Adam waiting to enter the cave. Adam is wearing a hat I found stuffed in the diaper bag that is a pinch too small!

Memories

All this blood talk has reminded me of a childhood memory. My brother told me that when I was bleeding I had to lick the blood to get it back into my body or I would die. I believed him.

Blood Update

Saturday morning we were all four lounging around in bed and Jacob noticed that Adam had band-aids on his legs (from his shots). He said, "He has band-aids on his legs." "He's all fixed now!" "I'm all fixed too.....the blood came out of my finger."

Blood

Jacob and Adam both had their well checks today. Jacob had to have his finger pricked and blood collected. He was such a big boy. He didn't even cry! The band-aid was the part that bothered him the most. He immediately wanted it off. After we got home he asked me to take the band-aid off. After I removed the band-aid, the conversation went like this:

J: that feels better now.
M: now that the band-aid is off?
J: no, now that all the blood is out of my finger.


*The other day Jacob was looking for the "door" that goes on the back of Mr. Potato Head. He was saying, "Where his booty at?" "You gotta help me find his booty!"

Blackballed

Carrie.....I thought we were friends :(

Happy Birthday, Baby!

My baby will be 3 tomorrow. I put him to bed a 2 year old but tomorrow he will be a 3 year old. I guess I knew that he would eventually be 3, but it was supposed to take a long long time. Wasn't it just yesterday that he was born? And maybe the day before that when we found out we were pregnant with our Jacob? What will I do when he turns 10, 16, 20?? I feel sick just thinking about it. Happy 3rd Birthday, Jacob!
