How Did These Kids Get So Cute!?

HAPPY ONE MONTH B-DAY JAKE!

Jacob had a One Month checkup yesterday. Unbelieveably he was about 8 1/2 pounds and 21 inches!!! I think his length might have been measured incorrectly at birth, because he was only 18 1/4 inches - a difference of almost 3 inches! But as for his weight, he has gained a little more than TWO pounds already! Needless to say, he's growing so fast!

I can't wait for the weather to get warm so we can get out more. I don't mind getting out with them both, but I really avoid it when it is so cold! (Anything below 50 or 60 is much too cold for me!)

Jacob can now focus on things with his eyes, he lifts his head often, and he slept for 5 hours straight last night!!! Yeah! (We have had some rough nights lately!) He also "bats" a bit at the toys hanging over his head in his bouncy seat!

Kayla is constantly using more words (which we can't necessarily understand!), has become attached to her pacifier again (If my little brother can have one, why can't I, she thinks!), loves to do the motions to the song "Wheels on the bus," likes to go to Storytime at the Library, and loves to give her little brother kisses.
