HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!

Happy 5th Birthday, Blake! We had a blast at his party on Saturday and there will be more pictures of that to follow.

Do I look like?

Jacob decided to put on a pair of Peter's safety glasses. He asked us "how do I look?". We told him he looked really cool. Then he asked "Do I look like grandma?" Ha Ha.

Crazy Jacob

He fell asleep like this right before nap time.

Parker's Latest

Parker now knows how to climb onto chairs. Once he is up there, he cries to get down. Go figure.

Wake Up Call

This morning I was in a deep sleep and was suddenly awoken to a child staring at me by the side of the bed. Because I was startled, I gasped and this child says to me "I am not a lion mommy". Thank god it was only Jacob and not a lion because I hate it when the lions wake me up. By the way, Peter was awake during this and told me later that Jacob had hit me in the head to get me to wake up!

Conversations with Jacob

Jacob was in the kitchen helping me fix his lunch when all of a sudden he says to me "Oh, I have to go pee pee". He starts to run out of the kitchen to the bathroom. In front of the door was a large dump truck. Next thing I hear is Jacob saying "outa my way" as he pushes the truck across the room. When you gotta go, you gotta go!

Jacob is known for his "high needs" attitude and can go from happy to extremely upset in a matter of seconds. Lately, after a crabby session, he will say to me "mommy, I'm not crabby anymore". Thank goodness!

Playing in the kitchen cabinets

Hanging out with Daddy

Jacob and Parker

Parker throwing a tantrum b/c he wants the camera. I love the string of drool!

This is how Jacob usually plays with his cars.

Tub Time

BEEBO

Yesterday, Parker was walking around lifting his shirt and then poking himself in the tummy. I would say "beebo" and he would laugh hysterically. He did this for about 5 minutes. It had to have been one of the cutest things ever!
