One month update!

One month has gone by already... the time flies! Brody is already watching things with his eyes, and yes he is winking already too! The smiles are cute, not sure if they are meant yet though. Reese is learning how to do chores... we made her wash the car. ...of course with our help! She really likes the bubbles more than anything! She has been a wonderful little helper. She is wanting to always do something, diapers, feeding, sushing, and holding the little baby! She is adorable. I think she will be a lot of help to others in her future! And... then there is her terrific two's coming up, and boy is she working on that. I don't know how many times a day Jake and I are telling her "NO" poor child, that is the only word she knows now. Just kidding. She said "moothie" tonight, it was soo cute! We went to Jamba Juice for a little date.
Jake is getting really good at his job, he might make the record for getting qualified on the tower ground. He has only been on for 10 days, and someone told him that he is doing a great job! That is wonderful, he is catching on quick! I guess the record right now is making qual in 24 days. I am sure that he will do it.
We have read the book " On becoming Baby Wise" So far so good, except for the crying part. But, we are getting through it. Brody is getting better adjusted to a routine, and it makes the day way easier to know what to expect. Jake and I, and probably Reese too, would love to have a good nights rest. We are just waiting for the lil guy to get one too! Hope everyone else is sleeping well!

Only 3 Weeks old!

I cant believe Brody is only three weeks old. It feels like its been longer than that! We are all adjusting to our new lives now as a family of four. It is very busy! I can't imagine what it would be like to have more children! I love my babies soo much, I think that two will keep me busy for a long time! Reese is signed up at Childs Play, an indoor playground for kids up to the age of 5. It is a great place for her to get energy out, except she has a favorite toy in there. It's a rollar coaster that goes is circles, she like it because she can get a ride and watch everyone as she rolls on by. But... no energy wasting! I wish they would get rid of that thing!

At Childs Play, great place to spend some time at!

Reese lovin on Brody, as always!

Reese grooming Brody, I think she thinks he's a doll sometimes!

We are watching The Ellen Show, dancing with Ellen is Reese's funtime!

Poor Brody, got attacked by the "Pad Monster"

WOW! Really! This is hard work having two children, but the blessings are wonderful! Brody is starting the little smiles while he is sleeping or using his binky. It's soo cute and he doesnt even know he is doing it. Things have not been easy, Jake and I are pretty much sleep deprived. Brody gets up 2-3 times from 10pm to 7am. And, sometimes it take a good hour and half to get him back to sleep. He is alot different from Reese, he loves to be held, all day. Getting the dishes put away is almost impossible. Reese does soo well with him! She really enjoys his company, even though he just looks at her, thats all she needs! She is a big time lover of giving him kisses and holding him, but just for about 5 seconds!

This photo is soo cute i thought. Reese got my "I Love You" Angel that my mom gave to me, and she knows what it says on it. She brought it downstairs and put it on Brodys bouncer. Too cute. I love them soo much, they are perfect to me.

Jake is back at work now, and enjoying it for the most part. He is up in the tower on most days, but he also spends alot of time studying for tests. He is on a new work shift, rotating every week from day shift to nights. I am going to really have to work hard to make sure he gets his sleep.

Don't Really know whats going on here?

Grandmas Going Home

It's about that time for my mom to go home, she leaves tomorrow. We are going to miss her soo much, all her help and company! Brody sure has grown alot since he came into our world, just look how big he looks! Reese is soo protective of him, and has to always know where he is. She is totally the best big sister ever! It's amazing to watch the love she has for this new little person, that we just "brought home from hospital." The way a new life makes you feel is extremely wonderful. I love my family so much, I couldn't ask for it to be any better. Although, it has been a pretty rough week! Reese has hit her almost terrible two's. Or maybe it's the 3 eye teeth that are coming out, not sure, but she has been a little tazmanian devil. She even has the sound effects! It's hard having two babies, but its just something new that we have to adjust to. We will get the hang of it! Poor Jake...has to deal with my flucuating hormones...when does it stop? He is strong, and is dealing with me very well, bless his heart! He is so wonderful!

Bundle of Joy!

Brody had his first photo shoot on Saturday! It was so much fun, Reese really enjoyed it too! There is a lady at church who is getting her photograpy licence and asked if she could photograph him. We thought, "How Great would that be!" It was at no charge, because it was for her schooling. Anyways, they turned out great! He is soo stinkin' cute, we can't get enough of him. Well...during the night we could use some sleep!
