Happy 1st Birthday, Jacob!!!

What a week! Jacob turned ONE on Tuesday and we have been celebrating all week long. We ended the week with his birthday party on Saturday afternoon. He has had quite the battle with seasonal allergies so after our pediatrician started him on Zyrtec this week hopefully we can give sweet Jacob some much deserved relief! His nose has been running for about a month now! His one year stats changed pretty dramatically not much to our surprise...he is now 90-100% in height and only 25% in weight...weird, I don't know anyone in our family who is tall and skinny?!?!?! ahem...ERIK...
Enjoy the pics from our fun week with the ONE year old!


Jacob liked his cake!

Jakey

"Jakey" is what we are calling Jacob these days. Somehow it's the nickname that stuck so we're rolling with it because that's what Jack calls his brother. Anyway, I feel like I don't do too many just Jacob updates so I figured before he turns ONE THIS MONTH (wow) I better do a few posts:) He is different than Jack and he is the same.
The thing they have in common is that they are both VERY verbal. Jacob is already saying several words and I didn't think it possible that he would be as verbal as Jack but I guess Jacob is picking up a lot of words from his big brother;) He attempts to say most words if you tell him to. His current favorite is telling Jack and us 'no no'.
They are very different in that Jacob is my 'hip baby'. He is most happy with me holding or hugging him. VERY snuggly which I love. Althought I do hope he decides to walk at some point:) He is extremely sensitive. He cries if someone is talking to loud. He also throws very dramatic fits that I've shown a picture of. He is in no hurry to not be my baby anymore despite Jack's attempts to help him grow up.


happiest when he's being held by mom

maybe he'll walk one day?

oh no....no walking...pick me up!


happier now:)

A Compliment from Jack

Today we were outside and Jack looked at me and said "I like your ankles, mommy". Thank you sweetheart. Weird. But thank you.

Happy Easter!











We had a fun Easter with the boys this year. Jack is old enough to at least start to understand and he says "Praise the Yord Jesus is Awive" (Praise the Lord Jesus is Alive)! So cute. We went to church today followed by brunch at a local favorite Cafe 501. Of course there was no shortage of candy and easter eggs at our house as well:)
