The Magical Blankie

A race car driver or maybe a drummer?? Brandon is thankfully getting better at sharing his toys with "Jakie" (as he calls him). Today Jacob started pulling himself up on things...maybe he will be an early walker?? If I remember right Brandon was around 11 months before he started to walk. But Jacob is really showing signs that he just wants to take off! It's remarkable how different your children can be! Jacob had another tooth pop through beside the other one...but to our disappointment it went back underneath the gum. Hopefully we will see some more come through. It would be nice to be able to let him eat the some of the same foods that we do because he wants to so badly.

We have also discovered Brandon's "magic blankie". The blue blanket that he totes around (I'm sure you all have seen it, it travels almost everywhere with him) that blanket calms Brandon down and helps him drift off into Brandon dreamland. Well tonight Allen was trying to get Jacob to wind down for his late afternoon nap and he just would not do it. So, I gave him Brandon's blanket and BAM! He was out! (Note the picture above). Even though his Great-Grandma Gage made him a very nice blankie that he can cuddle up with he still prefers his brothers. Brandon has also taken a liking to dumping his toys out all through out the living room and then climbing in the tote (as seen above)...thankfully he is getting more helpful with the cleaning up aspect afterwards!!

I also wanted to let everyone know that Allen figured out how to but videos on here!! So, those pictures on the main page are videos that you can click on and watch for your enjoyment! Right now there is one of Jacob crawling, Brandon playing video games like his daddy and one of Brandon using the spoon for the first time! Enjoy!! Hope all is well!
