So I know I have been, well, not so great at updating about our comings and goings. So here we go.
Jacob will be 6 months on the 20th of this month (crazy, huh?!) He is so sweet. Everyone who gets to watch him always tells me how happy he is, so smiley, and just such a chill baby.

That is exactly what he is (except when really sick.) I can tell his lungs are not exactly up to par, especially when fighting the junk, and so we will be seeing the pulmonologist next month. I can not even find a picture of Jacob smiling, as the second the camera or phone is in his face, he gets this puzzled look.
He sleeps pretty well when he feels good, waking one to two times a night (usually around 10 pm and than again at 5, but has slept once 10 hours straight and will sleep usually around 7 hour stretches at night.)
I love his cute chubby thighs. They are so squishy and oohhh so squeezable!!!
Jacob rolls over when he wants to (never on demand :) and will "talk" to you and tell you stories. He loves to bat at toys, loves to be read to, sadly loves to try and find the TV when it is on, has tried baby oatmeal twice, but just seems to like his milk. Jacob is in size 6-12 months clothes (he has chubby thighs and a round middle) and it just kills me when he grows out of clothes. He gets so excited when you talk to him, and is constantly marching. praying, and eating his hands (he kicks his legs and we call it marching, and he always has his hands clasped like he is praying so my sister tells him he is praying!)
He loves his Dad, might adore his mom a smidge more, and sometimes wonders "what the heck?" in regards to Collin. He loves his baths, which I am not sure why as he takes them with his brother and they get a bit crazy. He just loves to hang out, does not really fuss or cry. He just is a happy little guy.
His cousin Ryan is only 5 physical weeks older, but technically about two months with Jacob being a month early, but Ryan is such a tank that Jacob just dwarfs in comparison, as he is about 2 pounds lighter.
Collin has quite the personality. Never a dull day or moment with this little boy. He can be such a little turd and such a sweetheart, all at once. We have been working on potty training, something he surprisingly is catching easily on to. He loves, loves, loves to be outside. His favorite part of being outside is seeing our neighbor's chickens. He will hear them and get so excited. He also likes to pick any blooming flowers.
He loves Jacob, although sometimes he loves him so much it hurts Jacob (thank-goodness he is so easy going!) He adores his Grandparents, and pretty much every other family member. He constantly begs to see the Grandparents and Tatum, Heather, Cody, Mimi, Abby, Gracie, Xander, Klo-klo (Khloe) Amanda, Millie, Meggie and Jim, and will be terribly sad when he has to leave anyone's presence. He tells us he has "fun" when he comes home from visiting anywhere, and just amazes us with just how smart he is. They grow and learn so much, so very quickly. He no longer sleeps in his crib. We moved him to his big boy bed when we moved, but he would still nap in his crib up until about 3 weeks ago, when he started refusing. He remembers books, the words used repetitively in them, and will remember the next day if you tell him the night before that he gets to go somewhere or visit someone. It is incredible just how much he remembers.
Anyways, we love our two little boys so very much and are longing for the warmer weather so we can continue to be outside. So that's about it for now!
