Jakey Pants

Do you ever have those days or weeks or months where you feel like you just can't keep up?  You always find yourself a step or two behind of where you'd like to be?  Your to-do list is ever growing and there aren't enough hours in the day to do everything required of you?

Um, yeah...that's been January for me.  I'm not complaining...okay, I am... a little.  My life is full of so many wonderful things; all are good, but all require time.  I just wish I had the energy to do them all exactly right and give them all the time and attention they deserve.  But I only have two arms and 24 hours in the day.  And those 24 hours go darn fast with three little boys at home.

Too fast, in fact.  Can you believe my sweet baby is nearly five months old?  Oh my word.  Jakey Pants (he'll be so embarrassed by that nickname someday) is my little, snuggly, patient, happy, lovey- dovey boy.  He spends a lot of time in his carseat driving to and fro.  He also spends a lot of time getting roughed up and loved on by his big brothers.  But he smiles through most of it and just loves to be loved.

He is sensitive to loud noises which means he despises the vacuum.  But somehow the shrieks and screams that come out of Max don't seem to phase him.  He can roll over from his belly to his back, but that is a rare occasion.  He's more content to just watch and listen to what is happening around him.  He loves to grab at his toys and loves a warm bath.  He's also my spitter-upper.  He spits a lot, but does it with a grin on his face.  The pediatrician has called him a 'happy spitter.'  A pretty good description if you ask me.

I love my Jake and am so happy that he is one of my three boys that I get to spend my 24 hours with.

Here are some photos to document just how quickly he has changed!
