Not only is he enjoying the jenny jump up these days, he is also asking to get in the exersaucer. My thinking was "go ahead and let him" and he'll get over it. So far he's still asking to play in the baby toys. Funny kid...notice he's wearing just ONE sock (and his knees are touching the bottom of the saucer)!
Just taking a break or striking a pose in the mall. We were walking along and he decided he would like to rest. Okay.
We tried rice cereal for the first time today and Journey did great! Wow, I was really hoping for a different experience than we had with Mr. Jayden and sure enough....she liked it! She has started waking up at night this past week and we think maybe she is just hungry and ready for food. She'll be 5 months on the 20th so I guess it is about time. It's hard to believe we are already at this stage. 
Marking the spot...she started to get worried at this point.
This was the second ear. I know you are thinking we are crazy for torturing her in such a way but I promise she cries worse when I try to clean out her nose! 
The last little cry before she happily went about her day. I think she cried for a total of 4 seconds. It was a sad 4 seconds though.
Jayden once again loving on his little sister. We were strolling through the mall and he spontaneously decided she needed a kiss.
At last...the pretty girl is on her way with new diamond stud earrings. Our big girl is four months old today!
Here we have jayden "riding" the car on the futon...Please note he is in possession of the paci, which he calls "bassss" and his pillow, which he affectionately refers to as, Billow-billow. 
Curious George climbing up to see just what it is Sister is doing in her crib. Today she rolled over for the first time from stomach to back. She did it twice!
Here are our two "new" car seats with Jayden's all-time favorite material...the dots. Journey's seat was passed down from a friend in Mobile when Jayden grew out of his infant seat at 5 months old. He's been using it until recently when we decided Journey was ready for a bigger seat. I got another used car seat from Craigslist for Jayden so all I needed were covers, which I found at WalMart!
Do you see anything wrong in this picture? Yes, that is Jayden in the Jenny Jump Up. I borrowed this for Journey but Jayden keeps coming to me and saying "jum, jum." So, I couldn't resist and I've been letting him enjoy it since we didn't have one for him when he was little.
I thought this was a sweet picture. I can't even tell you how amazing it is to see Journey and Jayden interacting. Jayden has been incredibly sweet and gently with her. He hugs and kisses her without being provoked and anytime she is within his reach he goes to sit, lay or stand by her. When she is crying in her crib he comes to get me and says, "jern, jern." Basically, he's letting me know she is crying and wants me to go get her. It is heart warming and beautiful.
You can't really get the full effect but Jayden's hair was completed flattened on one side after a particularly long nap. It was so funny in person...the picture doesn't quite capture it. LaJuan and I laughed SO hard at him. 
Journey's hair has really grown a lot. Yesterday I decided to bust open the barrettes! Isn't she adorable?
Gotta love it when you straighten your hair for the first time in a month and your little princess spits up all over you! Definitely had to wash my hair and obviously change the shirt. Thanks baby girl!
Jayden once again wearing Daddy's shirt. He brought it to me to wanting to wear it after Demetrius had been gone at school all day. Loves his daddy.
Jayden just LOVES to lay on his sister!
Pretty girl before church this past Sunday.
Is it time for exersaucers already? I put her in the twins' saucer yesterday and she loved it! She is so strong and she knew how to work all the toys. Growing up to fast!
Another bath time photo shoot of crazy hair!
Just wanted to add a few pictures LaJuan took of us before church on Sunday. We visited a new church and really felt that we found the right place to spend Sunday mornings. Jayden was welcomed in the nursery and had a great time playing with the other kids. It's a small plant church (City Church) with a "Grace"-like feel to it. Lots of young couples, young children and seemingly genuine people! We stayed after and talk to people for about 45 minutes and felt right at home. I also learned about some community groups and play groups!
Sweet Journey slept right through church in the Moby Wrap. She is still a Mama's girl but I did catch her laughing and playing with her Daddy this morning!
Several months back Jayden lost a small soccer ball in the storm drain near our house. Since then, every time we walk by the drain he says, "ball, ball, ball" and "needs" to look down into the drain just to make sure the ball hasn't magically appeared. Just recently he purposely threw another small soccer ball down there. He will even look in storm drains that are not in our neighborhood (for example he looked into a storm drain at the hospital a few weeks ago). Funny and sad. He really misses his balls (although he has 45 others).
Maybe if I look from this angle I will see it? He proceeded to lay down in the street hoping to catch a glimpse. No luck today...
Taking a break.
Okay, I think I have a right to post this simply because I have had the complete opposite experience with my first baby...
Jayden has learned to ride his bike ALL by himself! This morning I was pushing him along and when I stopped, he kept going. Now...we have to learn to steer. As you can see in the picture he kept getting upset when he would run into the grass.
