The Zoo!!!

We went to the Zoo!!!

Max was such a good boy and loved looking at the animals. He said, "doggy" for everything he saw!!

And Jake slept most of the time....

The highlight of the day was seeing Beco- the new baby elephant!!!

He is sooo cute!!!

And only 4 days older than Baby Jake!!!

We renewed our Zoo membership so hopefully we'll be seeing lots more of Beco, the monkeys, and the fish this summer!!!

New Look!!!

I got the pictures from Mandie- wow!!! They're great!!! So I've been playing with the look of the blogs. Enjoy!!!

And enjoy some of my favorites from the photo shoot:

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!!!

3 weeks, arts and crafts and various updates

Yup- it's been 3 weeks!!! Baby Jake is growing up!!!

He seems to really be chunking up- his cheeks are fuller and he eats like a champ!! I can't wait to see how he does at his 1 month appt next week!!!

We've been doing "craft" projects with Max in the afternoons. Sometimes it works out well and other times it doesn't. Yesterday we did Color Wonder markers -color wonder products are great because of no mess. Crayons, however, Max eats!!!

And in other news....

Max is a champ at feeding himself!!!

Jake's first bath!!!

The little man got his first real bath last night!!!

He doesn't like being cold!!!

Bubby wasn't sure what all the fuss was about!!!

It was a total flashback- he looked just like Max in the tub to me!!!

And I think he's gonna have curls like big brother!!! (at least I hope so!!)

So sweet!!!

This happened yesterday and was probably one of the sweetest moments I've witnessed!! Of course I missed the actual kiss and may not be able to replicate that for a while- but Max is definitely more aware of "baby Jake" now. He loves to pet him, touch him, and maybe even poke him when we're not looking. Jake of course is a trooper and just puts up with it!! Max loves to say "hiiiiiii" to Jake and Jake just looks at him in return!!! It's gonna be so exciting to watch these two boys grow up together!!!

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!!!
