Cole is 8 days old!!!

We missed the one week picture, but this pic was taken last night (@8 days old). Mommy got Cole's chair cover personalized yesterday (and Jake's new cover) so we got a pic of the 3 boys!!!

Cole is doing great. He's feeding well, sleeping well, and adjusting great to the general volume of the E house!!! :)

He had an appt tuesday (a weight check) and was at his discharge weight of 6 lbs 6 oz. We follow up again tuesday for another weight check to make sure he's on track. (that will be a big day...we're taking all 3 boys to the pedi for appts...Max and Jake have well visits and flu shots). Pray for that outing.

We're hoping to go to church tomorrow, as long as mommy's recovery continues, and then to papa's for a hopefully sunny fall day!!!

3 Years Old!!!

My baby turned 3 today!!!!

So we had a Toy Story 3 birthday with the cousins!!!

Max got Buzz Lightyear from Mommy and Daddy!!

He loved the spaceship box almost as much as Buzz himself!!!

All the cousins had so much fun playing with the new toys: Handy Manny, Trio, and Duplo!!! They had a blast!!!

All in all it was a great birthday. Little brother/sister decided not to come today (although mommy was unsure at some points). Max celebrated with his cousins and had a wonderful time (except he still doesn't like it when people sing to him!!!).



And just for a trip down memory lane....here's my baby, just minutes after he was born.....


And the chair pic that started it all....one week old. He was such a little peanut and is now my big big boy!!!

Happy Birthday Bubby Max!!!!! Mommy, Daddy and Jake love you sooo much!!!

Max is 2!!!!

And evidently this is how a 2 year old rolls.......

Not at all sitting still anymore for the chair pics!!!

But the boy knew how to rip into a Birthday present (disregard the christmas wrapping paper)

My car/truck/train lover is now a geotrax boy!!!

He and daddy had so much fun putting it together. It's still a huge hit- he runs straight to it every morning!!!

It's been a busy few days so I got behind on the blog!!! His birthday was saturday. On friday when granny, grandma, and pawpaw were here they did presents (a lot of cars) and cake. We did chair pictures saturday morning and he opened his geotrax. On sunday he had an ice cream cake down at granny's. Monday we had dinner with our friends and opened presents for the 2 boys (Max's friend D turned 2 just a few weeks ago). Tuesday all the first cousins on my side were over and grandpa came up and grandma was here and we had dinner, cupcakes and more presents!!! Today, we're staying home all day. Momma's exhausted!!!

6 months old!!!

Look at the big boy!!!

He's weighing in at 16 1/2 lbs and 27 inches tall!!!

Does this look like a kid that got 6 shots today???

Took them like a champ I tell ya!!!

We thought we'd try something new for the chair pics this time...since I'm not sure if both boys will fit in one chair!!!

Then we moved the chairs to in front of the TV for some more pictures.....


they are just fascinated with each other!!!

I hope they become best of friends!!!


And just so you can see- our favorite movie right now.... Cars.

Ca- chow!!!

5 months old!!!

Time is sure flying by!!!

My big boy is 5 months old!!!

Look how big he is!!!!

And of course big brother Max had to get it on the photo action!!!

Boys, I love watching you grow each and every day!!!! Mommy and Daddy love you very much!

Jake is 4 Months old!!!

Another month has flown by!!! I can't believe it!!!

and Max still loves his baby brother!!!

I'll have to add his 4 month stats later!!!

Three Months!!!

One of these day it'll be posted on the actual day!!!But can you believe that it's been 3 months!!!?

Max loves holding his little brother....

and just for fun....the picture that almost wasn't...

Do not worry, Jas was right there and no one was harmed!!! Max just decided he was done holding his little brother!!!!

Where does the time go?!?!

Poor Jake!!! I'm posting these pictures only 13 days behind!!!


But he's such a big boy!! I have to show them off...better late than never!!!
(I won't even tell you that these pictures weren't taken on the actual day that is posted on the sign!!!)


Of course Big Brother wanted in on the action....

Yes, they're both watching the TV in this shot!!!



But I finally got their attention...well sort of.

So at 2 months Jake is completely caught up with normal birth weight babies. He loves to suck on his thumb, smile when anyone gives him attention, and sings like his big brother!! Oh and he does have a feisty temper....who does he get that from??? (haha)

4 weeks!!!

Look who is 4 weeks old!!!

And look who wants to love on his baby brother!!!

Baby Jake had his 1 month appt today and weighs 8lb 4oz!!! We're so excited with how well he's doing and how much he's growing!!!

Of course, Max continues to amaze us every day with his chatter, words, and discovery!!! He is learning new concepts every day!!!

Jake is 2 weeks old!!! (well, yesterday)

Has it seriously been 2 weeks already!!?

So bright eyed and changing!!!

And showing off his new chair like his big bubby's!!!

Chair pictures!!!

Things have been a little crazy and we're a little behind on Max's 18 month picture.

But it's about the memories, right? Can you believe the Bubby Max is 18 months old???

And here is Jake-boy's first chair pic...so itty bitty!!! Max of course, while not wanting his own picture taken didn't want to miss out on Jake's!!!!

and speaking of itty bitty....
Here is the debut of the chair pic with Max- 18 months ago!!!

It's not the best quality picture- but you can see that the boys do look alike!!!!
