Jakee is a busy little 10 month old!

Let me be the first to tell you just like Bub and Jake look nothing alike! They also have very different personality's! I am remembering what Bubb was like at 10 months and I see a big difference! But the one thing they both have in common is Both of them love there Momma (because I produce food for them) let me explain :)

Brenden: Jake:

Bubb was not very busy Crawling EVERYWHERE!!

Bubb was a quiet kid Jake has an attitude!

Bubb wasn't very social Jake is very social

Bubb was a pretty good listener Jake not so much

So as you can see Both Justin and I have a Mini me, can you guess who is whose?

Cousin :)

Isyss has been coming to our house in the mornings for about an hour. Brenden loves to take her to school, and always says good bye to her when she gets out of the car. He loves her so much! So does Jake he thinks she is so cool. She has always been a blessing to me and I love her very much. she is a sweet little girl and really enjoys her family.

****Update on Bubb*****

Brenden had his first Speech Therapy appointment on Thursday. Papa came in to take him, he brought the truck which is a big deal to Brenden, he LOVES to sit in the front and see everything. As I was getting his jacket and backpack on I started to get a little teary Thinking I am sending him off to school (only if its 30 minutes one day a week). We prayed for his day and sent him off. We were worried that Bubb might have a hard time leaving Papa and going with Mrs. Teresa, But praise God he did AMAZING! When Mrs.Teresa came out she asked if he would like to go play and he said "yes" grabbed her hand and said "bye papa" When they got to the room he did such a great job, he has to ask what he wants and when he says it correctly he gets it. "I want the blue hat", "I want the eyes" (for Mr. potato head) Keith came home and told me all about the day. I couldn't help but call Teresa and ask how it went. She said she had seen quite a difference from May,(his first assessment) with his communication and compliance as well as his personal interaction. We both agree that in may he was scared, and overwhelmed. I told her that he now knows the sounds of all the letters of the Alphabet and she couldn't believe it! My boy LOVES any thing to do with letters but ask him to have a conversation with you and he would rather not. BUT he is on a daily basis surprising Justin and I, with words, and communicating exactly what he wants/needs.

In the morning eating Breakfast together

Playing around in a box.

Jakee and his Nana

Jake LOVES his Nana!! Whenever her and Popa come to visit he crawls over to her and gives her tons of kisses and loves all over her. Today he said Nana It was so sweet. My boys are Blessed to have such loving Grandparents in their lives.

September Haircuts

After trying to keep the hair out of Jacob's eyes for way to long we decided to get Jake's hair cut, so Ang came over and cut the boys hair. Jake did great!! and he looks so diffrent with his little boy's haircut. Bubb did not do so well, he really hates getting his hair buzzed but it was way to shaggy and needed to be cut. here are the pictures below

Seattle Aquarium continued...

Seattle Aquarium

Jake hanging out taking it all in, he ended up falling asleep, such a good boy:)

Momma has her Starbucks and she is gooooood!

Were here!!!!!

This video is pretty cute, Brenden was fascinated with the divers in the tank and xared more about them than the fish.

Wow I really have to get better at this blogging thing.

Ok So I know I haven't updated in so long and was looking over my pictures from April-present and figured I would just tell you what we have been doing. I will post pictures from the last few months. But To go back to April is just too much and I will totally get exhausted trying to upload all of them, So from here on out I promise to keep the blog updated with all of our happenings.

Our summer was filled with so many special memories. Justin turned 30! We went to Nana's and Popa's pool a couple times and the boys really enjoyed that :) Brenden wanted to swim so bad by himself (especially when Jaxson was doing so) But he hadn't gotten enough practice and frankly I was scared he would drown. We went to the Seattle Aquarium for the first time, My biggest fear was realized when Bubb took off and we couldn't find him, Well eventually we did and he knew he was in trouble, he didn't do it again. We went to the water park quit a bit and also played on our deck as well. He loves to watch the cars and trucks go by on Kitsap Way. Brenden was assessed through the Bremerton school district because at him 3 year appt. he was behind (what they said was allot) We decided that this year we would wait to enroll him in Pre-school and that We would have some Cirriculum and structured time to have him do thing at home. One of the categories he qualified for was speech therapy, so he will be doing that one day a week for 30 minutes we are hoping that with this we can better understand what he is saying and be able to communicate together better. He has amazed us by how much he has progressed since May. Brenden is such a loving little boy, he is sensitive and LOVES his brother always talking to him and picking him up. He is such a blessing to us and we know that God gave us Brenden for a reason, just the way he is. Justin and I struggle at times with our frustration and are constantly checking our hearts and our motives with him. He loves to read books and right now is obsessed with watching the same Leap frog movies over and over again. He knows all of the letters of the Alphabet and the sounds they make. Justin and I have noticed that he has an amazing memory. Potty training is going good EXCEPT he will not poop in the toilet!! so we continue to struggle with that and his timing. I am planning to do allot of things with the kids this fall/winter to get them out of the house, so they don't go crazy!! library, sheridan park and what ever else I find out about.

Jake-poo, Is a sweet little guy he has such a loving spirit about him and his smile will light up your heart. He is 10 months old and he is a mover!!! nothing like Bubb was he is crawling everywhere, pulling himself up and walking back and forth on the furniture. he is so funny too always doing the funniest things like he is trying to be silly so you will laugh! He is nursing allot still which I don't mind, He is still waking up at night 2-3 times. He is a really good eater, I think he might be 19 pounds, I have been kinda slacked on the Pediatrician appointments, but he has one this month so we will see. He LOVES his DADDY and always crawls right to him when he gets home. He also Loves his Brother and Isyss, Tee-Tee, and all of his grandparents :) He is a busy kid and Justin and I know as soon as he starts walking we are in for it!

Here are a couple of videos :) Make sure your volume is on so you can hear the laughs!

Easter Egg Hunt at G&G Smith's

This was allot of fun. We wnt over to my grandparent's house and had an easter egg hunt. Mar-Mar and Lizzy joined us, as well as Nana And Papa. Brenden found the eggs pretty fast. Isyss had to hid them again because she had gotten too many. All in all it was a fun day.
