Brothers!

Jacob showing his love for his brother!! Jacob did that all on his own..how cute is that?

Nativity

We were able to get some beautiful pictures of the boys at our church the day after Christmas! While neither of our boys could ever come close to the baby Jesus....I thought the pictures were quite angelic! Although I'm not sure Jacob and the word angelic can be used in the same sentence?! ;-) On that note....I cut my finger this weekend and had a band aid on it which Jacob was quite fascinated with. So, I proceeded to tell him that it was an ouchie. He decided that it needed a kiss, so every time he saw my bandaged finger, he would say ouchie and kiss it. While Jacob is full of energy and life...he has a very tender heart, especially with his mommy!

Christmas

Here are some pictures from Christmas morning! We had so much fun opening presents with Jacob....although he still didn't understand what was going on, but who could deny new toys! ;-)

Jacob's big presents were a new tricycle from Santa, his own set of cleaning utensils for when he tries to "help" mommy clean, matchbox cars and construction trucks, Elmo from Granny P, Cookie cutters from Nana and Papa, Helicopter and MD Kit from Grandma and Grandpa Sadowski, Elmo phone from mommy and daddy, wooden tractor and bath toys from Uncle Matt and Aunt Sarah...and a few other things as well. Caleb got a few new things as well including clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Sadowski, toys from Granny P and a crib aquarium that makes noise and has lights from mommy and daddy! Whew!!!

Jacob and Santa.....this Santa guy isn't too bad after all!

I would like an Elmo for Christmas!

I took the boys to see Santa this morning and it went much better than expected! I had taken them on Thursday and Jacob refused to even go near Santa without clinging onto me for dear life. Today....much different story. He decided that Santa was his friend and was giving him high fives, hugs and asking Santa for Elmo for Christmas. I will admit, I kind of prompted him for that since he has no idea what he "wants for Christmas".

I weighed Caleb on Tuesday and he was up to 10 pounds, 10 ounces. He is growing up so fast already! Jacob, Caleb and I survived our first week on our own. It was so great having family here and all of the meals that our friends brought for us! We are truly blessed and appreciate everyone's generosity!

Caleb's First Smile....I am now 1 month old!
