On The Lake

Every since we bought the house, I've been dying to get the kayaks out on the water! We almost sold them when we moved from VA to cut weight, because we figured where are we going to use boats in the middle of the country? Luckily we kept them both! Natalie fits perfectly right between my legs on the bottom. She wore her life vest and helped me paddle too! Everytime I tried to go ashore she said she wasn't ready!


Jacob is enjoying being outside in the nice weather too! He's a happy outdoor kind of guy!



The kids also got to opentheir easter baskets from Grandma and Popaw. They got some cute clothes, personalized painted eggs, and of course CANDY! Everything Jacob got went right in his mouth, of course!

5 Months Old

How time flies. As evidenced by the pictures, Jacob is a drooling little man. I hope some teeth are going to pop out from all this drool and crabbiness. For the most part he is still really happy and pretty much always sleeps through the night. He was sitting up in his little bathtub, and loves sitting in the Bumbo too. I love my little man!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Silly Leprechaun! Turned Natalie's milk green hee hee. She also had pears and pancakes with sprinkles for her yummy St. Patty's breakfast!

Doctor Visit

I took both kids into the doctor today - Jacob for a 4 month check up and Natalie for a 3 year old one. No shots for her, and she was MAD. She said she likes getting shots. Jacob did not take his so well. He's been crying most of the morning/early afternoon. I even gave him Tylenol before we went.

Jacob is 25% for height at 24 inches. He is 30% for weight at 14 lb 2 oz. His head is 16.



Natalie is 75% for height at 38 inches. She is 60% for weight at 31.2 pounds. Her head is too big to measure. Just kidding, they just don't do that for her age anymore.

I am blessed to have happy and healthy kids!
