More Jasey Face

I had a couple more pics that I wanted to post on here, since I know people like looking at those. In this one, he has the funniest expression on his face! I have no idea how to interpret it.I love this picture, because you can see his cute little chin! (normally, he has a big chubby double chin when he's sitting up, and you can't see his 1st chin's shape. heh heh)
Ok this one captures his CRAzzZy hair! Ha! Talk about a frizz out! But I love it!
I muted the colors in this picture a bit to give it that old timey look. I think he looks like a little train conductor. Is that what you call them?

3 Month Old Gangsta'

"Yeah, I know I look all sweet and innocent now, but if I don't get my milk when I want it--LOOK OUT!" (mommy's gangsta)"Alrighty then, dad! Enough with the kisses and cuddles! Blech!"
"Smiles? That is what you wanted from me this entire time? Well, NOW you tell me!"
"Mom, I'm getting really irritated with this little photoshoot you got goin' on!"
"Ahhh, the photoshoot is finally over and I can lay here, relax, and dream of milk land."

Ready for Bed

Well I don't really have any pics to post except this one of me and the baby in our jammies. This is the first picture I've seen of myself where I think I look like my mother (I've always said I look like my dad). I'm not sure what it is, but it's a little something. The picture shows the final part of our "bedtime routine." He gets bathed, swaddled up, binky in the mouth, and then held for 5-10 minutes until those little eyes start closing. Then he's off to the crib!

I finally got a couple of real estate leads that I've been working on. Woo hoo! It's nice to have something to do. I took Jase to the office with me a couple of times this week. He's pretty good, but the only time I really get something done is when he is asleep (usually only about 1 hr at a time in between feeds and diaper--or clothing--changes).

The Superman Prayer


When my cousins were here a few weeks ago, I got this clip of Emma's favorite blessing on the food (Emma is on the left, her sister Abby on the right). It's a classic! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

*Jasey* 10-11 weeks old

Our little guy is growing up so fast! Just today this lady said to me, "Oh he's about 6 months old, right?" To which I replied, "Nope. Amazingly he's only about half that old!" So I thought I better post some more pictures of him so y'all can keep up, too!

This is his first official curly mohawk do'. It also reminds me of Ace Ventura's hair when he's wearing the pink tu tu.
I am in LOVE with this picture. My little couch potato! If you look closely, I had to unbutton his jeans bc his belly is too big for them! So cute!
This one reminds me of a little preppie boy--like he's about to go to the library and read up on some assignment.
We use this swaddle wrap like crazy! I had to take a picture of him in it before he grows out of it. It is so helpful at night since it keeps him from moving his arms and waking himself up. He looks like a little papoose, or maybe a hotdog!
Love this little moose romper. And check out the cute chicken blanket he's laying on! Meredith made that for him for xmas. It is so adorable. She also made a "mommy-sized" one for me!

Twilight is Finished

Well, I am done. I finished it rather quickly. It's easy reading (guess so if it's for "juveniles"). Ok, it took me quite a few chapters to get "into" the story, but about halfway through it got really interesting. Though I can't say it's the BEST book I've ever read (which is the description many friends gave to me, and then some), it is good. I think it was overhyped for me, so I expected way too much out of the story. However, it's pretty creative writing. I'd give it 3 stars! I just bought her second book in the series, New Moon, and I read 2 chapters already. It starts out MUCH better than book 1. I think the problem with the first book is that EVERYONE (meaning us, the readers) already knows that Edward is a vampire, so it is FRUSTRATING to wait for the main character in the book to figure it out. That is what drove me insane. I hear they books improve as they go. Cool. Oh, I do have to say that whoever designed the books' covers did an awesome job. They really have a look that reflects the story contained inside. I just like the look of them.

Look Alike Contest

Ok here are a couple pictures of Jase, next to pictures of Reuben and I when we were babies. I'm not sure how hold either of us are in our pictures, but it was fun to compare them and see who Jase resembles and how. We think he has my facial features but Roob's chin and face shape...what do y'all think?
