I find myself searching my own archives to find out what John's stats and milestones were so I can compare them to Jake's. Yesterday it dawned on me that I won't have any record of Jakey-boy's stats if I don't blog about them or keep a baby book. And since the last time I blogged was JULY and I don't have a baby book things aren't looking to promising?!!?
Jake will be 8 months next week. He is sitting up on his own and really trying to move, but not yet crawling. He is super happy and mellow. He is using the walker, mostly backwards, but he is slowly getting it. Loves to jibber-jabber and loves to eat!
I think he is teething again. The drool factor is a little out of control right now. I'm not sure how much he weighs, but he is wearing 12 to 18 month clothes. He's pretty huge. Also, I think I pinched a nerve in my neck yesterday from lifting this heavy weight. I'm not even going to talk about sleeping in fear that I will jinx something...
He loves his big brother. He'll just stare and laugh at whatever John is doing. When he does get upset John runs over and sings Old McDonald to him. Super sweet!
Both kids have had some sort of sniffle or cough since November. Kind of a bummer, but the Pedi says that is what happens during cold and flu season. Especially since John is in school.
John is saying so many funny things I can't even keep track. I'm going to try to write them down so I remember. John will be 3 in February and I can't even believe it. When most of our friends are just having their first kid it sorta blows my mind that we already have 2 and one is about to be 3!! I'm pretty excited for his birthday. The kid loves a birthday and loves to sing happy birthday.
