Two Happy Boys

This morning before church.

Celestial Mercy

The gods have smiled upon me today. It's been about one week since we started Adam on reflux meds and I cut dairy out of my diet....and I am pleased. Today Adam napped.....and napped well. There was no waking up 10-15 minutes into his nap with a shrill cry of pain. There were no endless bouts of crying. There was only one sweet baby boy, who was all too happy to eat, play and sleep...eat, play and sleep...eat, play and sleep. I hope this continues. Jacob also made a giant leap tonight. He actually took a bite of something he had never tried before at dinner!! He didn't even spit it out!! It was a pineapple chunk. He only had one, but it more than made my night. He even picked some noodles out of his spaghetti and ate them! I have no idea how this child hasn't withered away to nothing.

Happy Thanksgiving, me!!

Koelz Family Elves

I saw one of these videos on a friend's blog and laughed my tail off! Jacob really enjoyed helping me make this. Unfortunately it ended up "glitchy" when I posted it to the blog. Make sure your sound is turned up...and remember to pause the music at the bottom of the page first. Enjoy :)

So Far

My day...so far.
Let's start with bedtime, last night.

9:00- nurse Adam
9:30- check on Jacob and notice that he sounds a little sick
10:00- sleep
1:00- nurse Adam
sometime btwn 1 and 3- Jacob climbs in bed with us...sick
3:00- Jacob is repeating over and over and over, "I want water."
3:01- I get Jacob water, and listen to the hiss of the sippy cup for 5 or so minutes b/f get back to sleep
5:30- nurse Adam
6:00- back to bed but hard to go back to sleep b/c Jacob is snoring.....finally asleep
6:30- Lee's alarm goes off
sometime btwn 6:30 and 6:45- go back to sleep and have nightmare about dinosaurs and the end of the world
6:45- Adam starts screaming
6:50- while changing Adam's diaper he projectile poops across the room....it's on everything!
7:00- my husband kisses me and leaves for work....was that a sigh of relief I heard as he left??

Btwn 7 and lunch time Adam doesn't nap for longer than 10-15 minutes
Lunch- Jacob brings me a can of peas that he is requesting for lunch...then drops it on his toe :(

But everything is o.k. when Jacob climbs in my lap and plays with my hair.....my greasy hair that needs to be washed and brushed. I don't think he notices that his Mommy hasn't had a chance to bathe lately....he's just happy I'm here :)

Identity Theft

Every time Jacob sees a picture of Charlie Brown he exclaims, "Caillou!" I showed him these pictures, side by side, and he said, "Two Caillous!" He has a point.

?????????

So I was looking at my blog and wondering how all those duplicate pictures got up there....
Am I that tired??
Yes.

I'd love to write and catch everyone up, but there's so much to tell and not enough energy to tell it all. In a nutshell....Adam cries...alot....like any newborn. Jacob loves his little brother and tells him that. Jacob loves to give Adam kisses and hugs. Jacob, who never wanted to sit in my lap, now always wants to sit in my lap (while I'm nursing). Today, on our walk Jacob said to me, "You big??" I replied, "Yes." Then he said, "I little??" I replied, "Yes." Then he repeats...."You big and I little." And that was all. I'm always surprised to find out what's going on in his cute little head.
