What's New?


This week we enjoyed the little bit of nice weather we had and spent some time outside as well as inside when the rain hit at the end of the week!! The boys are growing up WAY to fast!! Jacob now has a new big boy bed and it's really BIG! (need to get a pic of this yet!) Along with his big boy bed he is not napping much either. I'm struggling to adjust to this as I'm getting much less done and he if VERY moody without a nap. A couple activities that we did while he didn't nap included planting tulip bulbs, baking cut out cookies and a few crafts...
Gardening gloves and all he was a big helper putting the tulip bulbs in and covering them up!!

Rolling out the dough and cutting out the cookies with Mommy!

Jacob and Daddy helped decorate the cookies after I frosted them later that night!

Doesn't he look like such a big boy!! I don't think Jacob ever filled those overalls out!!

Enjoying some fun on the swing set on a semi-warmer night!!

Deacon is busy walking all over the place and getting into things. He loves to climb as well!! He is really good at getting on top of the Lego table and getting on stools to get things off the counter! YIKES!! He is also talking more and more. His current favorite are "BUCK" and "Moo". He is also getting two of his molars which makes him wake up extra early for his mommy and daddy. I think we had 4 in the bed at 6:30 twice this week. (Not a normal occurrence at our house) Deacon is also a good little builder!! He loves to stack blocks. I think his record is 8 high!! Pretty good for 14 months!

Also new for the boys is a fun train set that Daddy picked out at IKEA a few months ago and put together last weekend!!

We took a fun nature walk this morning and the color was still pretty gorgeous even after all the rain and wind be had Friday and Saturday.
Deacon was a little trooper just hanging out it the stroller except for this one pic!
Jacob was such a big boy he walked and ran around the whole hour and a half we were there. He only sat in the stroller for a minute to have a quick snack!!
