Hanging out with Dad!

Well this morning Scott took Jaxon while mommy could catch up on some much needed mommy time. You would think that I would give myself a mani-pedi, or a facial or even clean up my messy house. NO!!!!! I slept in like a big bum! Awe how I needed it, after a week of being sick and not getting much sleep at all I thank you my awesome, bestest, husband, daddy in the whole world! This was very nice of Scott to do since he hasn't been feeling well with a sinus infection all week too! But anyhow I really only have a couple of pics to show and this is after Jax and Dad had been on a walk around the block to see some geese at a pond near our house. We didn't get any pictures of that because Dad had his hands full with Jax in his stroller on one hand and Larkin our lab in his other hand! I am just so thankful that Scott is willing to take Jaxon for long periods of time and that Jax loves his DaDa so much that he will go with him for long periods of time!

Here you can see Jax's teefers that came thru...

"Look OUT! Get outta the way!"

Dog Eat Dog

As I was making Jax's baby food yesterday afternoon, I heard Lex, our Yorkie, barking. I looked down to see what he was fussing about. And this is what I saw. Jax had scooted over from his tupperware cabinet to Lex's food and water bowls. Lex wasn't too happy at Jax trying to "eat" his food. HA! So I decided to take a few shots with my camera phone before moving Jax out of the way so Lex could enjoy his dinner! I can see those two having a good time as soon as Jax is mobile!

"Hey quit crowding the bowl!"

"Save some for me!"

Jaxon's new thing

Jax's newest thing while Momma is in the kitchen is to get into the cabinet where all the tupperware is and play. This will keep him busy for a little while Momma finishes what ever she was doing in the kitchen. Jaxon is such a wonderful baby, keeping himself entertained when Momma needs a few minutes to do things around the house.

What bowl do I wanna play with today?

Look Momma I have a bowl! hehe

Here is a picture of Jaxon trying to crawl. He hasn't quite got it figured out yet. He tries to get that leg underneath him but when he does it makes his other leg go back behind him. Then he just does a belly flop.

I think I can! I think I can!

Play Date

Yesterday Jax enjoyed a play date with his friend Mali. (Who, BTW, was in the same birthing class as Jax). Unfortunately I didn't think to take any pictures. Mali is about a week and a half older than Jax and she is already crawling and cruising everywhere! Jax loved to watch her go! I just hope by watching her he doesn't learn any new tricks! Just kidding I do want him to crawl, I just am not ready to baby proof EVERYTHING!

Mali also wasn't threatened by the fact of Jax being a boy either! She can rough house with the best of them! Jax is so gentle natured that he just let her beat up on him and then he'd offer her a toy to beat on instead of his head! LOL

Pincer Grasper

Jaxon has been using his pincer grasper tool for some time but I thought that I would post some photos showing just that... pincer grasper is when a baby uses their pointer finger and thumb to pick up a toy or a food item, such as a cheerio or in this case banana.

Here you can see both his pointer fingers out trying to scoop up as many bananas as he can.

"Say Cheese... or BANANA". I just love my bananas Momma!

Something else that he has been doing for some time now is drinking out of his sippy cup like a big boy. He loves to drink his water after he is done eating.

Peekaboo. I can see you!

Good to the last drop!

Teething

Well... Jax is officially getting teeth! He has been drooling and chewing on things for months now, but it is official, I see a white spec poking through. Actually I see 4 little white specs poking through. I can't believe we have waited for his first tooth for 8 months now to get 4 at once! I guess that it might be better this way, getting it over all at once instead of 4 separate occasions!

Jax is taking it like a champ, not too much fussing. But he does have a serious runny nose! I guess it comes with the territory...

I just can't believe how much my baby is growing! Each milestone is bittersweet.

There are 2 teefers down there... you can barely see them poking through.

Jax chews on anything he can... you can see the top 2 teefers trying to make it through...

Welcome to the world of blogging!

Well here it is... Everyone has been asking if I have a blog, well now I do! Welcome to Jaxon's blog. We will be going on a wonderful journey together as we look at Jaxon and how he grows.
