Here is my lastest project. Don't have too many things yet. But there you can there by clicking on this link, or the link on the right hand side of the page.

Cole Laughing at Balloon

We have this balloon still floating around from Jack's birthday almost 2 months ago, and Jack and Grandpa Wayne starting hitting it to make a loud clapping noise, and Cole started cracking up. I have never seen him laugh so hard. He literally could not keep his eyes open. Looked just like his daddy.

Mover Dave

Jack loves Imagination Movers. Its a show on Disney where they help people solve problems. He is always saying that we have a problem, and let's brainstorm, and whenever the doorbell rings he thinks we have a customer. Well, yesterday he decided that his John Deere hat backwards made him look like mover Dave. That and a little strawberry pop on the top lip and he was ready for some pictures of himself after I got done taking some of Cole.

Hey mover Jack!

Jack was sharing his hat with Cole. My 2 John Deere boys.

6 Months

Half a year old already. This little man makes us smile all day long. He is loved by his big brother who is really trying to play with him now and show him how things are done. Several milestones have happened this month. He just seems to have gone from a baby to a real person all of the sudden. At his 6 month check-up today we found out he has bronchiolitis and needs to keep doing breathing treatments 3 times a day. But developmentally he is doing just great and actually ahead when it comes to gross motor skills.

6 month stats: 17lbs. 4 oz. 27 inches long

Things to remember at 6 months are:

*How he no longer takes the pacifier and sucks his thumb all the time!

*Sits up by himself.

*Flips over in bed when he wakes up.
*Is getting his knees under himself and looks like he ready to start scooting (any day now).

*Still loves his jumparoo!

*Rides without screaming in the car.

*How he loves to grab and play with toys.

*Even though he was sick with fever and cough, still acted so happy.

First Valentine's Day!

I found this picture of Jack on his first Valentine's Day in the same shirt that Cole wore for his first Valentine's Day. Jack was 6 weeks old, and Cole was 5 1/2 months. Where does the time go?

Relaxing Sunday Morning

Unfortunately, my boys are still under the weather and wouldn't be able to go to sunday school so we are home this morning. It's always nice to have a morning with nothing to do while daddy is home. Cole is napping, and Jack, daddy and I are in the kitchen. I am trying out a new Giadda recipe - Orecchitte pasta with mini chicken meatballs! Can't wait to taste it, and Jack is also making recipes. All this with a little Hillsong United going in the background.

Back to Jack's recipe....the aroma that is exuding from that part of the kitchen is affecting our abilities to function. All you all know, Chris has a stomach made of steal, and he has already gagged 2 times. I believe it's the combination of strawberry nestle quik, lemon pepper, italian seasonings, a pound of salt, flour, seasoning salt, jiffy blueberry mix, and jiffy fudge brownie mix from 1984. His recipe is now safely resting in the refrigerator. Let's hope the rest of the food isn't spoiled!!! He will have a lucky little wife someday to share his wonderful recipes with.

Poor Cole doing his breathing treatment. (and yes that is a breast shield from my pump, all we had was the regular mouth piece so grandma Vicki fashioned her own mask) He did so well, and didn't cry at all.

Sick Boys

My poor babies are sick today. They have had little colds for a couple of days, and yesterday Jack had a low grade fever and started coughing. Then this morning Cole started coughing a little. I hope they feel better soon. I just know how awful I feel when I am sick, and I can't imagine how they fell. But even though he isn't feeling well, Jack keeps going around asking Cole how his morning is! Cole is busy jumping in his jump a roo.
