Mr. Jaxson is officially crawling! He's been scooting, rolling and pushing for quite a while but he's finally doing the real thing! Time to baby proof the house!

Drum Roll Please...

The new stroller!! It’s light, smaller frame, takes up less space in the vehicle but still has the basket underneath, nice grip for Mommy and back support for Mr. Jaxson. All those aisles and stores we couldn’t quite maneuver in before-WATCH OUT!

This Little Boy...

is absolutely a blessing and holds the key to his Mommy’s heart…


has his Daddy wrapped around his tiny finger…


is laid back like his Daddy and doesn’t get upset easily…


has a reputation at daycare for being “self-entertaining”…


sleeps so peacefully and looks like a little angel…


moved up to the next classroom at daycare on 08.23.10 which broke Mommy’s heart because it won’t be long before he’s changing classes at school…


has not yet mastered crawling but loves to get up on his hands and feet…


loves to be talked to…


is loved beyond measure by four grandparents, an aunt, an uncle, 4 great-grandmothers and many many others


loves being fed his baby food (on his schedule, of course!)…


is so amazing and has the sweetest “serious face”…


will never know just how much his Mommy & Daddy love and adore him!!

Homemade sugar cookies we made for his old & new teachers.

Jaxson's 6 month pictures!

Here are a few of Jaxson's 6 month pictures- the computer would probably crash if I uploaded all 61 of them! :)

My sweet baby boy!

I had this made for him before he was born...it finally fits!

“Da da da da…”

 

I normally don’t get the chance to blog on Fridays…we are usually cleaning, shopping or traveling somewhere. While Jaxson takes his “cat nap” I wanted to write about a few things he’s been doing this week. He has been running in the walker. I will probably have to bubble wrap everything in the house, including the dogs. When the dogs see or hear him coming in the walker, they run to a carpeted area :) Smart puppies…he has also figured out that while in the walker he can reach things- decorative dishes, potted plant, cabinet handles….NOT GOOD! While we ran a few errands today, I decided to try him in the buggy, normally I tote him in the carrier but it’s almost getting too heavy for me to carry. I think he enjoyed sitting like a big boy, until he got tired and was ready to lie down. Tuesday morning while I was getting ready for work, I noticed him saying syllables…it actually sounded like something! I just knew he was saying “da da” but if I got closer to listen he would stop. Finally, today he’s been saying “Da da da da” all day! While I would love for him to say “mama” I’m just excited that he’s saying something!! Right now he loves to take his paci out and hold it in his hand while he moves his wrist back and worth. I think he’s getting ready to be a pitcher or a basketball player! He is really ticklish around his thighs, neck and under arms. He has the sweetest little giggle! He loves to eat his baby food but the bottle still has a special place in his heart :) He sleeps in his crib every night from around 8:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. I love to snuggle with him but it’s much more comfortable for the entire family if he sleeps in his own bed. He is always going- kicking his feet, moving his arms/hands, trying to crawl, putting everything in his mouth- he’s a busy busy boy! He is still wearing 3-6 month clothes and has almost grown out of size 2 diapers. He has a follow-up appointment on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 to re-check his ears. I will be posting his 6 month pictures soon! They look awesome and I’m so excited about our first professional family picture! :)

Sick Baby Update

I took Jaxson to the doctor today and he has a sinus infection and ear infection. I've been blaming all of this on his shots! He started his meds today so hopefully he will feel better soon!

Love you Jaxson Cole! Get Well!

Bath Fun & Other Goodies!

Well, we didn't have the most exciting weekend and Mommy was extremely stressed with having a sick boy but someone sure did start feeling better last night and loved his bath! I usually lay him on his little mat to give him a bath but last night he wanted to flop over on his belly.

Loves to splash! Guess it's time to get the bath toys out!

Here are some other pictures that I found on my camera from last week...my happy happy boy :)
