8 Months Old

Colyn-

You turned 8 months old on August 28th.  You are getting too big too fast!  I love  how now when I take your picture I can’t just prop you up in the corner of your crib anymore.  You will not be still to save your life!  This is about the best I could get this time because you were too busy standing up and moving all around.

• You weigh about 18 pounds and I’m not sure how long you are
• You eat like a little pig!  You love almost all baby food, we still have not really tried any solids because you have no teeth yet.
• You have tried apple juice out of a Sippy cup but you prefer your bottle hands down (I am afraid we are going to have a hard time getting rid of it).
• You did try Mommy’s ice cream the other night and you thought that was pretty yummy, LOL.
• You still wear size 3 diapers and can wear 3-6 and 6-9 month clothes (it all depends on what it is).
• You are non-stop these days; crawling, pulling up on everything and trying to cruise.
• You still babble and say da-da pretty clear.
• You love your toys but would much rather play with your brother’s and he does not like that very much, LOL.
• You love your brother so very much!  He makes you laugh all the time.
• You sleep all night in your crib (something your brother never did).

We love you so much and love watching you grow and do new things every day.

Rock on Colyn!   

 

First Day of 3K

Jacob’s first day of 3 year old Kindergarten was this past Monday.  He was so excited!  I am so excited for him too.  It was a lot easier dropping him off this year since he has been going to daycare for a year now.

His new school is on the A Beka program and it is amazing what they say he should know by the end of the year.  I am excited that he will be learning Bible verses and stories along with everything else like he did at his previous school.

It is really hard to believe that my tiny little boy is already three and learning so much.   

(Love that fake smile!  He had to have his monster truck in the picture.)

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.  (Proverbs 22:6 ESV)

Obsessed

With the air vent!

He likes the way it blows his crazy hair.

Lazy Saturday

I thoroughly enjoy my lazy Saturday mornings.  I know they will not last much longer because of soccer, but I love to just lay around with my boys.  Moments like these will not last forever.

Hi!

Colyn just wanted to say hi to everyone out there.  LOL!

Soccer Mom

Well I am officially a soccer mom, Jacob started soccer practice this past Monday.  At first he was a little hesitant to wear all his gear but when it came time to get out there and actually meet his team he put it on. 

We had a good first practice (with a brief meltdown, HA).  His coach is one of the little boy’s dads and has all my respect!  He has a great deal of patience to coach six 3 year olds.  Jacob loved listening to him and chasing him around.

Jacob is really good at kicking the ball (just like his Daddy) but still thinks he can pick it up whenever.  Hopefully by the end of this season he will know that you do not touch the ball with your hands in soccer.  Here are a few pictures from his first practice.

The kids named their team the Trussville Tigers. I am not real sure why they chose that, but that will be the only Tigers I will ever cheer for, HA.  And not to leave the little man out, here is Colyn hanging out at Jacob’s practice.

There first game is in a couple weeks and I am sure it will be pretty funny watching a bunch of three year olds play a soccer game.
