Bros

Luke has totally become a doting big brother. He likes to refer to Jake as Baby Bro, dances like a crazed monkey to make Jake laugh, and tries to comfort him when he cries. Jake's face lights up when he sees Luke. I can't wait until Jake's big enough for them to run around together.

Luke made a bed out of stuffed animals for Jake to lay down on.

Jake at 5 Months

Jake turned 5 months this weekend. He's been doing great, getting better at his fine motor skills, starting to eat solids, and just started sleeping longer through the night (yay!). He is growing so fast, I'm having to put him into 9-month sleepers because his legs are so long.

Jake waiting for the doctor at his 4 month check-up. He weighed almost 15 pounds.

Jake is getting good at manipulating small toys and works really hard at putting his pacifier in his mouth.

Tummy time is something we have to remember to do. Jake doesn't like it and doesn't last for long.

Rice cereal!

Luke in January

We've had a low key January and with the holidays over, are finally feeling settled into a routine in the new house. Here are some pictures of Luke from the last month.

Luke got a castle-building block set from Aunt Ronny for Christmas. He loves building things with blocks and is very proud of his castles.

Happy Baby New Year

Here is a round up of December 2012 pics, featuring Jake!

A quick video of Jake doing some talking and smiling. I almost didn't post it because I'm talking too much. But his smiles are too cute not to share.

 

And a final quick video of Jake playing with toys. He is coming a long way in his hand/eye coordination. He is reaching for things and trying to control where they go-- mostly in his mouth.
