And the real question is....

Why am I awake when everyone else is asleep???? Ahhh the enjoyment of seldom heard silence I guess!

Thumb vs Paci

Which tastes better??

Jackson votes thumb....

and Matthew votes paci!

Baby Legs

Here is Matthew sporting his first pair of Baby Legs! Looks like he is ready for aerobics class! :)

First Bath

Matthew was finally able to get his first real bath at 2 weeks old! He did okay - but I think he was really cold when it was all said and done - hence the fussy face!

Dirty Dirty

Jackson was playing outside and decided to have fun with my Dad's truck......by playing with the exhaust pipe (no worries it was not hot)! What a dirty mess he was!

And shouldn't every boy have a dog he can ride?? Poor Bailey! :)

2 1/2 already??

Jackson turned 2 1/2 on the 18th, so we decided to celebrate with cupcakes! YUM YUM

Here he is licking the beater

And of course the finished product!

Just a few more!

Our new family of 4!

Jackson wanted Matthew to sit in his froggy chair

Proud Poppa!

SMOOCHES

Sorry David- this kiddo looks more like me! You can't expect them both to be mini-David's!

Beach Bums

Jackson went to the beach for the night with his Dad and Grandparents......looks like they had a great time from the pictures that they took! Jackson had not been to the beach since he as about 3 weeks old and David said that he really took to it and played and played!








They also went to the Aquarium.

Brothers

Jackson is loving being a big brother right now.....at least until the new wears off of Matthew! Whenever he comes in he wants to know where the baby is and gives him a kiss! I hope these two will grow up to be best buddies!

Jackson is sharing his "baby" with Matthew! And he never shares his "baby"!

Our attempt in getting them in their Big Brother/Little Brother shirts!

Then and Now

Jackson - look at those cheeks

Matthew - making sleeping look good!

Jackson - this was his favorite sleeping position

Matthew - I think he likes it too!

More Pictures....

Here are a few more of sweet Baby Matthew!

Me and my boys!

Sweet Dreams

He makes sleeping look so good!

Bright eyed and bushy tailed

My boys

Here are the boys both just a day old. There is no denying that they are brothers. Jackson had a fuller face like David and Matthew has my facial structure more.

Jackson - 1 day old

Matthew - 1 day old

Matthew Glenn

This is by far my MOST favorite picture so far! He looks like such an angel and a true miracle!

More pictures to come......LOTS! :)

Introducing:

Matthew Glenn Akins
Born: 09-09-09

Weight: 6 lbs 2 oz

Matthew made his arrival and we are all doing great! He is one of the two sweetest and prettiest babies I have seen! :) I wouldn't be a little bias either - would I???

I will try to put up some more pictures later, but here he is right after he was born to get you started! :)

Daddy's Home

David made it in from Oklahoma yesterday and Jackson warmed up SUPER quick to him! And ever since the 2 are glued together! All I hear is "Dada, Dada, come on!" Here are some pictures of them playing outside together - thank goodness the weather has been perfect here lately!

Now if only Matthew would like to come out and meet his Dada - that would be great! :)
