baby boy updates

lots to tell about henry and jake - and over a month since my last entry.......

henry is 8 months old now and trying to crawl....he gets on all 4s and leans forward but usually ends up on his belly before he gets anywhere....he is cutting is 3rd tooth, up top on his left side....he weighs a little over 22 pounds and we just got him a new car seat since he has officially outgrown his carrier.....he wears size 12 months clothes (some 18 months) and is talking a little more....although he has still not said ma-ma unless he was crying/fussing....he does the "bad cough" game and also will stick his tongue out and in if you do it to him first :)

jake is learning and growing each day - he can write his entire name now (thanks to mommy teaching him at all, which i am very proud of)....he also recognizes the numbers 1,2,3 and knows all of his colors....he learns lots of songs at school which he loves to sing and has learned the days of the week and the months of the year through these songs....he weighs about 51 pounds and is 42.5 inches.....wears 5t/6 clothes and size 11 shoes still....he LOVES monster trucks, race cars, and playing his wii games....he still loves his FROGGIE blanket and has to have it everywhere he goes....he loves chocolate milk (which we call milkshakes in his sippy cup)...he is getting in a little trouble at preschool for hitting and pushing the other kids so we are starting to work on this with him.....

the other day, jake asked me about isabelle, our cat who passed away last june. i told him then that she had gone to heaven with the angels and was riding kitty cat roller coasters. he asked me agai a few nights ago when she was coming back.....it made me so sad.....but i explained that she was not coming back and he was perplexed...and then wanted to know where heaven was...

jake and henry's nickname for each other is BUBBIES and we also call henry OL' HEN...
