Then There Were Four: Few and Far Between

I cannot believe that I have waited so long to post on here. I am sorry if you have been checking in and finding the same ol' blog from Christmas. I really have no good excuse, just that I have been extremely tired. I really cannot catch up on sleep, thus causing me to have little to no motivation to get on with daily tasks. Anyway, today I made a list of things to do and this was one of them.

Our handsome monkey

He is getting so big 3.5 months

Jacob is doing AWESOME! He is growing so fast. I am both happy and sad about this. He is my last little monkey and it just seems to be going by so fast. Can you believe that he is almost 4 months old? Ugh. He is knocking off all milestone check boxes. He is attempting to roll over, holding himself up on his arms for a second or so, pulling his (and my) hands to his mouth, noticing his feet and grabbing at objects. He keeps eye contact with you while you engage in conversation. He loves to smile. If you look really close you can see the mischief in his eyes. When you ask him if he is going to be a terror when he grows up he will smile and laugh. He thinks it is funny to pull Alexis' hair. Much like an old man with the paper and a beer, Jacob likes to sit on the couch with his pacifier and watch t.v. without interruption. He gets so into the show and when you lean over to kiss his chubby little face he lets you know he is upset with a frown and a little whimper. When you back off his attention returns to the t.v. where it stays until he is ready to nap again. When sleeping he must have naked feet and be wrapped up tightly in a warm fuzzy blanket which also covers his head. He wears 3-6 month clothes now and has slightly chubby cheeks. To sum it up, he is the best little baby on the planet.

Long little man

This is my break time

Alexis. Oh what is there to say about that girl? She is days away from turning 5 and is so excited for it. She will be celebrating her birthday at Teddy Bear Junction where she and a few of her friends will get to stuff a cuddly little friend and play games. This is the first party she will have that is not made up of all adult guests. For her birthday she asked for a new t.v. and a new dresser. What is she 25? Unfortunately for her I didn't think either of those were a good five year old gifts. She will have to settle with a vanity and Barbi house in one. Shhhh, don't tell her, it's still a secret. She loves preschool. She loves coming home to tell us what she had for snack, what games they played, and what her special friend said to her. She has a memory like an elephant. She is beginning to have her own style and no longer wants me to get her dressed or pick out her clothes. She walks through the stores and says "Oh this would look great on me." No idea where she gets this from.
