jacob and sissy...1.18







somebody loves her new little brother A LOT!
.
both of the kiddos LOVE to hold jacob. and sweet little drew still sings to him every time he holds him--just like he did in the hospital! the other night, the kids were loving on jacob and making him smile SO big! i think he smiles bigger for sarah and drew than he does for me :) of course, we had to grab the camera to capture jacob's big ole smiles.
.
and although blogger officially hates me and won't post ANY of my pics in the order i want lately, the pic of jacob asleep in the swing was right after all the sweet smiles. he was tuckered out.
.
btw, the cute little monkey (a gift from aunt jodie and the j's) is jacob's constant companion in the swing. before the monkey, he wanted nothing to do with the swing and NEVER fell asleep in there. NOW, with the monkey, we have a happy little guy who frequently catnaps in the swing...often times at dinner time which is a HUGE blessing! thanks so much 4 j's!!!
.
neither sarah nor drew liked lovies as babies. jacob is a different story. he LOVES to have a blankie or monkey(!) next to his face while he is sleeping!
.
one of my friends with 5 kids said that the more kids you have, the more the recessive genes come out of the gene pool!!!
.
sarah and drew were short and fat for the first 2 years...jacob is long and lean...
.
sarah and drew had brown eyes pretty much from the get-go...jacob's eyes are still blue at 3 months...
.
sarah and drew look so much alike, they would never be mistaken for NOT being siblings...jacob doesn't look that much like them...
.
i don't know if my friend's theory is scientific or not, but it seems to be proving true in our little family!!!
.
okay, i got WAY far off on that tangent :)
.
bottom line, the big kids LOVE their sweet little brother!!!

You (and Jacob) are quite welcome! The monkey is precious. Both Julie and Jack had a special blanket (which they both still have) and Julie had Sleepy Bear (which she still has). Glad Jacob has found a friend in the monkey!

Keep the updates coming - your Aunt Jodie is Sugar Land checks your site every day and is thankful because you add a little something most days!

We love you all!!!
