Four Months Old!

Today Jonah turned 4 months old!!  How does that happen?  He really is such a sweet, easy baby and we are truly blessed.  He absolutely adores his big brother and I can honestly say that the feeling is mutual.  Jacob has been so great and I am just one proud mamma!  We go to the doctor on Monday for Jonah's 4 month well visit and I'm anxious to see how big he's gotten!  He is up to 6 oz every 4 hours and I just ordered size 2 diapers!

Happy boy!

Jumperoo

Jonah tried the jumperoo (one of Jacob's faves!) for the first time yesterday!  He absolutely loved sitting upright and being able to look around, but he's still on the small side so we ended up putting a pillow under his feet!  When Jacob was little, he had the best time jumping around and playing.  I think Jonah will enjoy it just as much!  Now we just need to find a place to put it...

Our Brave Boy

After dropping off Jonah at Mim and Poppa's house, we headed to Children's Hospital on Friday morning for Jacob to have an outpatient procedure.  We arrived at 10:15 and headed to our pre-op room, where a fireman hat, hot wheels, a drawing board and crayons were waiting.  Jacob got changed into special "pjs" and we waited.  The procedure was supposed to begin at 11:45, but he didn't go back into the operating room until almost 12:30.  Jacob was a trooper!  We explained (as much as you can to a four year old) what would happen and that he couldn't eat until afterwards.  We were expecting more of a fight about not eating, but Jacob did great!  After Jacob was wheeled off, Nathan and I had a bite to eat (we hadn't eaten either, out of solidarity!) and pretty soon, we were asked to go back to the consultation room to talk with the doctor.  The procedure took about an hour and Jacob did great!  When we met up with him on the way to recovery, he was already chowing down on the first of two popsicles!  The first thing he said was, "Hi Mommy!  Why didn't I fall asleep?".  He knew they would give him medicine to take "a nap" but couldn't even remember!  Finally, around 3 o'clock we left the hospital (in a wagon, of course) and headed to pick up Jonah.  We spent the rest of the day watching movies, but honestly, if you didn't know Jacob had just had surgery, you wouldn't even guess it!  He was in great spirits and not complaining at all!  He can't bathe until tomorrow, can't swim until next Friday and can't do any strenuous playing for 2-3 weeks.  That should be fun.

Still a little loopy in recovery with his popsicle!

Weekend at the Lake

Four people, two nights.  How is this possible???

Staying cool in the summer heat!

Independent!

Ahhh...much better!  A hose solves everything!

Well...this is one way to stay cool!!

Hiding from Grandaddy- now HE has the hose!

Sunday morning snuggles!

Jacob and Grandaddy have a chat on the porch Sunday before we leave to come home!

We spent a very low key and relaxing weekend visiting Grandaddy and CiCi at the Lake!  The boys did great on the two hour drive both going an coming and we enjoyed just hanging out, swimming in the pool, playing outside and grilling out!  As you can see, there aren't any pictures of Nathan and I because quite frankly, we spent the weekend in workout clothes and I didn't even bother with makeup!  We love our weekends at the lake and can't wait to go back when it gets cooler and we can spend even more time outside!  Thanks Grandaddy and CiCi for such a fun weekend away!

Smiles!!!

Jump Mania

We met up with our friends Anna and Joseph for a playdate this morning at Jump Mania in Plano.  The kids had such a great time running around together playing and Julie and I enjoyed having time to chat!  With the hot, hot weather, it's so important to find fun things to do indoors!  After playing for nearly two hours, we headed to lunch at good old McDonald's and they kids played some more.  Four hours after our playdate began, we had some tired kiddos!  What a fun way to spend a summer day!!!

Jonah was so bummed he was too little to jump!  He decided to get some much needed rest instead!!
