Bundle of Joy

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our latest addition to the jarvii family!

Name:
Blake Elliot Jarvis
Born: Wed. Feb. 20th 5:31PM
Weight: 9 lbs. 1 oz.
Height: 21 inches

Sorry it took us 2 full weeks to post!




Blake is still in that sleepy newborn state, so we're enjoying all the snuggly moments with him.

Zach is adjusting amazingly well -- he is nothing but curious and sweet. He is always happy to sing to his brother, announce when he is crying, and welcomes every chance to sit with him and check him out up close.

We're so happy he finally made an appearance (5, yes 5, days late!) and are enjoying getting to know him a little more each day.

Final Preparations

Everyone is ready for baby Jarvis #2. Everyone, it seems, but baby Jarvis himself. The bags are packed and Zach's stuff is ready to stay with friends for a couple days, but someone forgot to tell this baby that the due date was last week! As we rack our brains to figure out what he might be waiting for, we decided that perhaps he's waiting for one final blog of our family of 3. We just can't wait to meet him!
Zach turns 2!

Zach is officially a contributing member of the family- stacking dishes, cleaning messes off the floor, and vacuuming around the house. Our word for him is exuberant- you know exactly what he's feeling at all times. He's the first one at a playdate to announce he's leaving with a "Goodbye! Car, Mommy" when he's ready to go, and he'll declare "Fun!" or "Funny!" over and over again when he's having the time of his life. He loves to test our boundaries, but we're figuring out that the more boundaries we give him, the more content he seems with a predictable world.
Christmas morning... Chef Zach

He still loves to cook, play hide and seek, and he loves trains or anything else that he can roll on the floor, table, wall, and couch. Music, however, seems to be his favorite past time- between dancing and singing and playing musical instruments, he can't get enough! He'll ask us to sing the ABC song, but as soon as we start, he tells us to stop so we can enjoy his solo.


Playing the drums and playing hide and seek

That's the update in our neck of the woods. Hopefully we'll be posting sooner than later with news of the newest addition to our family!
