Laundry Time
We thought it would be cute to take a picture of Jax in the laundry basket and big sister Leah had to too!

Summer Happenings
Can't believe it's been about 2 months since our last post! Sorry to those who've been checking. I tried to update things about both kids on the side and new pictures. Hope you're all enjoying your summer. Can't believe it's only a month until Labor Day! Can't figure out why we live in a state where there's only 2 1/2 months of real summer. Anyways, a lot has been happening since we last posted. Where do I start? I'll start with Jackson.
He's been growing a lot. Now weighs about 14 pounds and seems long and skinny. Jarrod thinks he maybe a running back in football someday. Who knows?! Jackson (aka- Jax) has been eating cereal once a day everyday for about 2 weeks now. He really anticipates that spoon coming towards him! I plan to start some new food in the next week or two. I'm really in no hurry as they grow so fast too soon! All that will come. Jax is really into toys now. He LOVES his car steering wheel toy and his tool workbench. Watching him play with those is so fun just seeing his little legs kick and his body rock back and forth. He's been to the pool a number of times now and loves watching the other kids and splashing in the water. At first, he was a little chicken but is used to it now. Jax is such a happy, mellow baby compared to our firstborn. I had this instinct when I was pregnant and remember people saying that your next one will be so different and they were right, so far! Not saying Leah was a bad baby, just a little more "girly fussy". Needless to say, Jax has been wonderful and hopefully will continue that!
Now onto Leah, she's impressed us each day by how well she's with Jax. She likes to help out still either by giving him a toy, entertaining him while we do a quick pick up of the house, or change his diaper. She's a great little mommy. There's some cute pics of them together playing toys. Can't take enough pics! Other things Leah has been busy with is playing with her friend Ellie- going to the pool, park, and playdates. She rode on a few rides at Kolochkey Days in Montgomery. Got a little scared on one ride and had to get off. Jarrod and I were laughing as well as the Carnie. She went to 4th of July parade and fireworks at the farm with daddy. Jax and I stayed home and turned in early. Didn't think he'd get much out of it. This weekend, Leah will keep busy watching another parade for Giant Days in Le Sueur with "Bumpa", which is her Le Sueur grandpa (our neighbor). She's probably at their house everyday along with our dog, Kacie getting a cookie or telling them the latest news.
This coming week, the family is heading to WI Dells for a few nights of fun. Hopefully the weather cooperates and both kids are at their best! We'll try not to be so slow on our next post!

Weekend fun
It's been fun this busy weekend. Jarrod took the day off Friday to spend with the family so we took Leah bowling for the first time. Her favorite part was wearing the shoes! She told us that she wanted to take them home. Her attention to the game was pretty good. She loved using the ramp to push the ball down, which seemed to help her speed too. Then we had some fun playing arcade games. Jarrod taught Leah how to play Buck Hunter. You never know, maybe she'll be a famous hunter one day. Jackson just took all the sites in and didn't fuss once. What a good baby!
He rolled over from his tummy to his back last Friday and haven't seen him do it since. Oh well. They grow fast enough the way it is. I swear he's getting his first tooth and can even feel something in there but Jarrod thinks I'm full of it. I guess Jackson will show us! Leah is impressing us everyday in how much of a great sister she is. Jackson was fussing in the car today a little bit and Jarrod and I were trying to calm him down by singing and talking. Sure enough, Leah sings him Twinkle, Twinkle and quiets down! She has the magic touch. It's so cute watching him look at her in awe. What a cute pair we have!

Spring Update
Sorry, been awhile since our last update. I guess we can say, life has been busy! Leah is adapting very well to being a big sister. She's always there for Jackson- helping change his diapers, making him happy when he cries, singing songs to him, and washing him during bathtime. We are so proud of the good big sister she's becoming. Her new favorite movie is Princess and the Frog. She knows almost every song in it along with some phrases. Maybe she's watched it a little too much? She's now learning her letters and their sounds. She loves drawing the "H", which later becomes a square. She's still very into dressing up like a princess and probably does this everyday. She's always talking, which is a great thing but can drive you nuts if you're having a conversation with others!
Jackson (aka- Jax for short) is growing everyday it seems like. As of 3 months old, he was 12 pounds 2 ounces. He's now getting into his 3-6 month clothes. Kind of sad to pack away some of the 0-3 month ones! He's now babbling a lot and laughing. He is never crabby and seems to be just a happy little guy! Lots of smiles! He loves his big sister, TV, books, bathtime, and being out and about. All in all he's a pretty calm baby for now.
Kim was nervous about balancing 2 kids, work, and household chores but is doing well with it and can even take them grocery shopping! I'm sure that will get more tricky once Jax is walking but will enjoy for now. She wishes she could work less but appreciates the 4 days off every week that she has with them. Jarrod is doing a great job balancing things when he has to pick them up after work and having to be alone with them for 3 hours! He was nervous about this but is now a pro!
We're looking forward to spending lots of time outdoors and the small happenings this coming summer. I think these are the best times in life; being with your little ones and watching them grow into these little people (Not sure if Jarrod would agree :) ) We'll try and update this more often so keep tuned!
