My days with Jacob pt1

Here is a collection of the crazy things my son has been saying:

He crashed his tricycle again:
"This booty (he was holding it) got crashed again!"

I was talking about a friend name Julianna when Jacob corrected me:
"That's not Julianna, it's Aunt Juli."

"It's not Booty and the Beast, it's Lady and the Beast!"

While watching Peter Pan: "Is Hook in the Bible?"

Jacob's chant one morning: "I'm the party!"

Playing with my old phone: "Mommy you beautiful. I'm going to take a picture of you. Say cheese. That was a good picture. See Mommy? I'm going to take a picture of both of us."

Jacob desperately wants to go to Colorado. I put his Colorado shirt on today and he is convinced we are going today. I have tried all day to convince him that we aren't going until March but he isn't buying it. I was trying to teach him to say "March" when I asked him "when are we going to Colorado?" So after practicing I asked him "what do you say when I ask you when are we going to Colorado?" He said: "Please. Please can we go to Colorado?"

Me: What do you think of your brother?
Jacob: ummmm, cool!

Church

Jacob loves church. We told him we were all going to youth tonight and he ran laps around the kitchen table shouting:

"We're goin' to church! We're goin' to church!"

...and pumping his fists in the air!

Balloon

About 3 weeks ago, Adam blew up a balloon for Jacob. He still is playing with that balloon. He has named him...balloony. It is adorable.

This is what happened this morning...

Jacob took his balloon and walked behind the couch. He said to me:

"I'm going to balloony church. You cannot come."

Really? Where does he get this stuff? =)

Pillow fight...a new definition

Jacob is very disturbed by the apparent fight that is happening between the couch pillows.

He is almost in tears because one pillow hit the other.

I am not making this up!

Sleep

I used to define a good nights sleep as 8+ hours. Now...a great nights sleep is 5 hours

I used to define sleeping in as staying in bed until 9am. Now...sleeping in is staying asleep until 645am.

I didn't get a good nights sleep last night or get to sleep in. Only three things make that ok:
1.) a very happy Jacob who is running around playing this morning and yelling "Bugs, where are you? Go back home!" (we had a few ants in the kitchen last night)
2.) a sweet baby who is snuggled in my arms and looking up at me with great big eyes before he falls asleep (he is exhausted from being up all night).
3.) coffee!

I think I need to fix me some of #3!

Nap time

I was tucking Jacob in bed for nap...

Me: "You are my favorite Jacob!"

Jacob: "Daddy is my favorite boy and I am his favorite 2 year old!"

He's here...

...well, he's been here (for 5 weeks to be exact)! Parker was born on July 20th. Apparently my children cannot be born without some drama as Parker came 5 weeks early.

I have lots of pictures to post and his birth story to share, but as all parents know...it is a little crazy around my house. My days are filled with nursing Parker, then giving Jacob attention and then getting things ready for me to nurse again...and so forth. I love it, but it is crazy.

I promise I'll post soon...I'm moving a lot slower these days (4-5 hours of sleep at night will do that to you) so soon might be a lot longer than normal. =)

I do love being a mommy of 2 boys and am having a blast. Now off to shower so that I can feed Parker, play with Jacob, feed Parker, feed Jacob, maybe nap, feed Parker, play with Jacob, feed Parker, feed myself, bathe boys, feed Parker.......
