18 months


Jake is almost 18 months and we just went to the Dr. for his check up. Here are some of his stats.

-36.5 inches (our Dr. told us he is probably their tallest 18 month old. He is way off the charts)
-31.5 lbs
-Saying a lot of new words. His newest words are- juice, umbrella, koala, Luke, baby, bubble. He also makes all of his animal noises and signs please, thank you and more.
- Loves to go to the playground and climbs all over the jungle gym. Likes to hang from the bar and swing.
- Has a ton of energy! A lot of evening, he literally runs in circles around our living room.
- Sleeping from 8pm-7:30ish every night.
- Gives Luke hugs and every once in a while a kiss.
- Still loves to read books. Reading is about the only time I can get him to sit still.
- Likes to go to the YMCA and play with the other kids while I workout.
- Is very social and not shy at all. At the playground he likes to go up to other kids and try to play with them.
- Loves his cars and pretends he is driving them all over. Also likes to pretend he is going to sleep and that he is eating things.
- Is a pretty good eater, but is kind of picky. Won't eat meat or vegetables.

I can't believe it has been a year and a half since we brought Jake home! He is a sweet little boy and we are blessed beyond belief. We love you buddy!!

So in love!



Kirk and I are so in love with our new baby Luke. He is such a wonderful baby and we feel so blessed to have him. Here are some of the things we have been up to...

-Luke is eating every 2-3 hours during the day and at night every 4 hours. I really don't feel that tired because I feed him at midnight and 4am and he has been going back to sleep each time.
-He rolled over from his tummy to back twice when he was 2.5 weeks old. It was probably just a fluke, but I sure wasn't expecting such a little guy to roll already!
-He has probably 3 good awake times during the day. The longest is usually in the evenings for 2-3 hours. He isn't fussy though, just nice and quiet.
-Luke had some jaundice, so we have been to the Dr. probably 5 times already to get his levels checked. It seems to be resolving itself though.
- Jake is doing really well with Luke. He usually just goes about his own business, but he has given him a few hugs/kisses.
- We have been spending a lot of time at the local parks. Jacob loves to play and I love to get some of his energy out! We go at least once, sometimes twice a day. Luke just hangs with me in his front pack.

So awake. He has dark blue eyes.





Me and my boys!

My new little man.
