Round Here.

Things are gettin' better. 

The new formula for Jacob seems to be working much better. He's not as gassy, he doesn't scream as often and he doesn't get into a little ball and turn all red. That's a good sign. But he does want to be held...a lot. Like I said before, thank goodness for the people that made the baby carriers. I would die without them. I think he's just going to be one of those babies that likes to be held often. And I'll take that over the screaming any day.

Since he wants to be held so much I don't have as much time for Ethan and he occasionally gets himself into a bit of trouble. Like when he did this to his face...

And I don't always have time to serve him leftover birthday cake on a little plate. So we eat it like this...

The other day he wanted to cook so badly, but I wasn't about to try to attempt that while holding Jacob, so my Mom had this idea...

I gave him some macaroni noodles with a big bowl of water and he went to town. He first told me he was making honey and later he made soup. Where does he get this stuff?
He did get to cook with me the other morning though and he was so proud of the pancakes he got to make. Plus he got to use the flower cup (not a sippy) which doesn't happen very often. He was pretty excited.

I know I make Jacob out to seem horrible, which he's not, he's just a bit difficult, but there are times when he's happy...

 

Hello crazy eyes!

Other things that have been happening are...
I'm learning new quick ways to cook. The crock pot is my new best friend. Thanks to my sister and Grandma, I've made a couple of really good dinners. Can you believe I had never made a pot roast? Well I have now! Check that off the list.

I had my 6 week doctor appointment and everything looked great. She asked me if I wanted to go on birth control, and without hesitation I let out a big, "YES"! I love my kids, but no more just yet.

I can start exercising now. (I'm laughing out loud...when will I have the time for that?)

Oh and our TV was out of commission for 3 days. I discovered that I love my TV. I love the shows I watch every week. We will never be one of those families who doesn't watch television. I just can't do it.

That's it for now. TaTa!
