Jacob




Jacob is growing up so fast. He is very curious about everything. Daily he questions us about the things he sees.

He is very excited for little Carter's arrival. He will ask us if Carter will have legs like him, or ankles, eye brows, ears, elbows; everyday its a new body part that he is curious if Carter will have.

Last week Jacob was laying his head on Mommy's belly and asked....

Mommy do you hear that?"

Mommy said, hear what bub?

Jacob: The music?

Mommy: I don't hear any music. Are your ears ringing?

Jacob: No, the music in your belly. Carter is singing my McQueen song. I think he has a toy in there and is playing cars.


Big Brother Buckaroo





Photo time...





We took some pictures of the boys over the weekend. It was a fun time, and the boys were so full of energy. It was hard to get them both to look at the camera at the same time. Owen is very active now. He is trying to walk everywhere. He is a very fast crawler, as you can see in a few of these pictures, if you "tried" to pose them...he was off. Big Brother Jacob just thought it was so funny. Mommy got her work out trying to get them posed as Daddy snapped the pictures.
Hope you enjoy.

Soon there will be 3


Jacob and Owen modeling that they will both be big brothers very soon.

Big Brothers


It can be almost impossible to get both boys looking at the camera
or standing still in one place!


*Thanks Mamaw Debbie and Poppaw Mike for the Big Brother shirts.
We are anxious for Carter's arrival to put him in his Little Brother shirt.
Thanks again, we love them and you.

Cowboy Owen

From Baby-gaga about baby's growth

This is another big week for your magical growing baby! Just take a look at the checklist for this week: 1) ears: done; 2) fingernails: done; 3) (if you have a boy) testicles: taking their 3-4 day trip from the abdominal wall to the scrotum; and 4) lungs walls: secreting “surfactant”. What’s that? Well, surfactant is sort of what it sounds like: a surface-activated fat whose main purpose is to assist the your baby's little lungs during inflation (as in, filling with air, not getting more expensive). Just in case you’re curious, your submerged baby is still breathing in amniotic fluid, preparing and rehearsing the lungs an oxygen-filled life outside the womb. By the end of this week, your child will be weighing around 2 lbs and 14 inches long. Your cutie-patootie may even be a little more plump, but isn't anywhere near their full baby-fatted cute-self. Most of the “filling out” is coming up in that long awaited (and slightly dreaded?) third trimester. Woo-hoo! Get ready!

Owen aka little buckaroo!
