4 months!

Jacob is 4 months old! Time is just flying by! He is such a happy baby. He's always smiling. He loves his big sister and she loves him! He is a great sleeper at night. He sleeps about 8 hours at night. He also sleeps in a bassinet most of the night...unlike Miki! He's not a great napper during the day and likes to be held most of the time. He likes playing with toys hanging above him. He's a chunky little guy which I love! We sure love our Jakey Boy!

February

February flew by fast! I can't believe it's already over! So much has happened!

Happy Boy!

Love his rolls!

On Monday, February 18 we found out my Grandma Daley had died. She was 77 and had a lot of heart problems. She had actually died on Saturday, the 16th, but wasn't found until 2 days later when the cleaning ladies came to clean her house. She had gotten up Saturday morning, got dressed, did her hair and went to Wal-Mart. She had food sitting out to make for lunch. She was cleaning a spot on her carpet and had a heart attack. We figure she must have gone fast, luckily. I had a really hard time with the fact that her body was laying there for 2 days. But everything happens for a reason. I know if one of her family members would have found her it would have been a bad experience that wouldn't have been forgotten very easily. At least in my case it would have been. My grandma joined the church in her 20's and met my grandpa on his mission. She was from Minnesota and he asked her to come to Arizona to marry him. She had an amazing conversion story that my dad told at her funeral. The spirit was so strong, especially when he was reading her own words. My grandma wrote everything! She wrote her own life story (a few of them actually) and had 28 journals. Because of that I want to try to be better about recording my life!

On the way to Mesa, to the funeral with Cousin Callie

In the hotel all ready for a long day! We had the funeral in Mesa at 10 and the graveside in Thatcher at 4. It was a very long day!

Love this chub!

Miki trying to teach Jake to play with toys

He loves the bumbo. He likes to be able to see everything and be apart of the family.

Thumb sucker

This little boy has become a thumb sucker. He sure is cute when he does it and I think it helps him sleep longer. It may be a bad thing in the future, but for now I'll enjoy it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This cute little guy turned 3 months old on Valentine's Day. He is such a sweet boy. He loves to smile and "talk." He loves to see his mom and gets a huge smile on his face anytime he does! He is so sweet and I can't get enough of him! He has been a pretty good sleeper lately. He usually will sleep at least 5 hours straight during the night, but a few times has slept 8 hours. It is so nice! He's not the best nap taker and likes to be held all the time, but you can't have everything right?!
