The Munchies and The Tantrums



This is a regular everyday thing...Jacob stealing other people's food (we do feed him), but usually Brandon is not so forgiving and does not share like shown in this picture! Jacob could eat 24/7 and I think he would still be hungry, and the kid never gains weight (wish I had that problem)! We really have to watch what Jacob puts into his mouth, I swear he thinks EVERYTHING is edible...crackers, doughnuts, crayons, toy balls (he actually did bite the end off of one and try to eat the Styrofoam)! Both boys are doing very well. Brandon is getting into the horrible 3's! He can be awful when you take him to stores and he can't get whatever he wants! It turns into a BIG temper tantrum!! (Anyone want to take him until this stage passes?)




Allen is doing good as well, working alot! We both have been working out on the Wii Fit (highly recommend it)! I have been excepted into the Nursing program at Kaplan University. I start classes April 15th!! Hope all is well with everyone!

Updates...



I know it has been way to long since I have posted anything on here (sorry for that). Well, Jacob had his first birthday party, which went very well, he no longer has a bottle, eats from a spoon by himself and only gets his pacifier at nap time and/or bedtime (or if we go on long car rides). He is growing SO fast!! He is also VERY stubborn...he will walk if he is holding on to something (your hands or a piece of furniture) and he will stand up straight and get his balance but he will not take that first step...he also REFUSES to drink out of a sippy cup it has to be a regular cup with a straw!




Brandon is doing well too. His vocabulary is defiantly getting broader and easier to understand for the most part and he is defiantly taking the "big brother" job seriously...he will let us know if Jake falls, cries, pushes him, gets into something...ect. He does ok with potty training, although we still have a ways to go yet with it!

I am going to a new position at work starting next week. I will work every weekend and be home Monday thru Thursday during the week (which I love, I can spend more time with Allen and the boys). I am going next week to enroll back in school and hopefully fulfill my dream of becoming a nurse. Allen is doing well too. Sorry again for not posting sooner. I hope everyone is well...and think Spring (maybe then it will come sooner)!

Its been a long month

We know its been a long time since we posted on this. Lets see where to begin. Jake finally got some more teeth so hes is up to six now. Jake was also in the hospital for a few days in the middle of January. He was running a temp of 105 so we took him to the hospital where they kept him for a few nights. The Dr.s where never quite sure what was going on with him, but hes better now. Durning all this time Brandon was such a big help. We started potty training Brandon. He has days where he goes all day in the big boy potty and others where he does not care. Keisha is on vacation this week and is going to keep him home with her for some one on one training. Jake turned one last week. Man where has the time gone? And since he turned one we took the bottle from him. He has gone since last Friday afternoon with out one! Nothing new with Keisha and me. Well I think that's all hope to see everyone this Saturday
