Zac & JT playing their keyboard.... trying to share

Just a little update...

ZAC

Uncle Rick & Zac

Zac trying to be like Charlie Brown with his football...

Zac attack & that thumb/ blanket- is that Linus???

Zachary has once again, fallen in love with Letters. He also really enjoys coloring, throwing footballs like charlie brown, and Thomas the Train galore.... especially Stanley. Zac is talking alot these days, some is clear, some is ??? He is also becoming more adventurous, but tends to continue to be a bit shy. Ahhh, he still can make everybody smile though.

Jacob

Jacob had his 9 month appointment last week. He is in the 75th percentile now for height, but only 50th just sit and do "bamm bamm"... he will probably be walking before he actually finally gets it. He is such a happy little one, and easy to please. His favorite things are his brother, foooooooooooood, & eema (our cat).

Jake enjoying his Pancake- yumm!


JT concentrating very hard to crawl... not yet there

Hannah & JT will be celebrating their 1st brithday together soon!

Catching up!!

Hanging with the Boys...

So alot has changed since our last post. Mike traded in his mustang for a big SUV.... why? because I got a new job at Scripps and needed a lil help carting the boys. Apparently a mustang is not the ideal car for two rambuncious boys!!! You should see his new black betty though...

Zachary...

He continues to get more and more verbal. He leaves me messages on the phone saying... I love you mommy.... which warms my heart. He has started to try to ride his bike, and he is not doing too bad. He still is infatuated with the ABC's. Luckily he also likes Thomas the Train, Elmo, and now.... loves Snoopy & Charlie Brown!!! How happy that last one makes me!

Jacob...

The sunshine of our morning is seeing this big guy smile. He is still very lanky, and just got to sit up on his own. He is eating a ton of food (Up to 4 jars of baby food, 3 servings of cereal, and 24 ounces of milk)... did I mention he is also 3 inches taller than zachary was at this age. huh?

Christmas at the Janczyk's

Merry Christmas 2008!

This year we decided to stay home for christmas and relax (as much as you can with two children 2 years and 6months!). Gramma and Grampa Whitehead & great Aunt Sue came to watch us open our gifts. And oh my goodness, what gifts we got!!

Zac got a train table with a Thomas train set, a super big keyboard, playdoh galore, elmo bookset, and a "95" as Zac calls it, aka a Cars lightning Mcqueen playcar.

JT got clothes, bibs, rattles, books, and a super cool tool chest with his own rattle saw, hammer, and wrenches to bite on. He also got some nike air shocks to help him in his bouncy spree. Because heloves to be in his walker, and to bounce bounce bounce!

Jacob, the charmer...

JT is 6 months...

Jacob is just getting bigger and bigger every day. He had his 6 month appointment the other day, while Zac had his 2 year old visit. Zac is still in the 25th percentile for height/weight, But Jacob is in the 95th percentile for height, 60th for weight. He is soooo long and slim. Looks like he will be the tallest of our crew. I had a deja vous episode yesterday, when i realized the christmas shirt i was putting on jt, was the exact same shirt zac wore last year, at 1 year of age.

Mom can't keep up alone with his nutritional needs anymore... so our big boy has moved on to solids and some formula. He has had most vegetables and fruits and absolutely loves his pears, bananas, squash and sweet potatoes.

JT's favorite thing though, is spending time with his brother. Brotherly love... let's hope it lasts forever!

Zac's 2nd Birthday Extravaganza!

Prince Zachary....

What a party Zac, "the birthday prince", had this year. We had a Cars theme and invited alot of Zac's friends. And goodness... there were kids galore! From ages of 1 week(sierra), all the way thru to 5 years (zoe)!

It was a reasonably nice day, so all the kids could have fun outside. They "painted with water" on the driveway, played with bikes/toys, went after the pinata, danced, and finally settled in for some yummy cupcakes!

It was so nice to see everyone and enjoy all the children running around! By the end of the party, Zac and the rest of the crew were ready to crash. After a big hug & kiss from his cousin emily, it was time for bed. He went to sleep, holding his "95" Cars blanket with great big smile!

Brothers....

Zac and JT have started to bond as brothers. At first, when Jacob was born, Zac would look at him, put a blanket on his head and say "Bye-Bye". Now he is grabbing JT's hand to go to the swings, and yelling his name to sit with him in the stoller. JT just stares at Zac and smiles. He watching him like no tomorrow. They are starting to act like brothers... without the fighting :)

Jacob's a BIG boy

JT goes to the doctor

Jacob went for his 4 month check-up this week. He was 26.5 inches in length, 15 lbs 2 oz for weight, and 16.5 for head circumference. He is the 60th percentile for weight and head circumference, but 90th for height. Yeah!!

He is only 5 inches shorter than Zac. Guess he is going to be the BIG little brother :)
