Ouch!!!

Well Jaxon received his first good bruise this evening. He's had bumps before, I mean this child is active. He's bump his head on the bed, toys, etc. When that happens there's a red mark that goes away in 20-30 mins. Usually no crying either. Tonight however, we had not just a red mark. We had tears, red mark, knot, and now bruise! : )

He was playing on the floor with Brett's mom and kept reaching for the coffee table. He finally made his way over close enough where he could pull up onto his knees. He played for a while banging on the table and tried grabbing things. The problem came when he was getting back onto the floor. He pushed himself back away from the table and fell forward when reaching for the floor. In the process he hit his face on the edge of the table, leaving behind a nice little bruise. Surprisingly he didn't cry for too long. We went into the kitchen and put a cold teething toy on it while he watched the dogs out the window.

My heart broke when it happened but I was super proud of my little man. He's so tough!

First Aggie Game!

This past Saturday we took Jaxon to his first Aggie game at Kyle Field.  He was so excited before the game, flirted with the ladies that sat behind us during the game, napped during the 3rd quarter and woke up to see the Aggies beat the Vandals from Idaho.  He did fantastic and gets to go this next weekend to see the Aggies beat the OSU Cowboys!  Here are a few pictures from Saturday.

Time to baby proof!

In the last couple days Jaxon's mobility has increased tremendously.  We no longer can set him down on the floor to play and expect to find him in the same position 10 seconds later.  We haven't fully mastered crawling but we can scoot all over the floor.  He uses his feet and arm underneath him to push off.  It is almost an army man crawl.  We had just mastered sitting independently and now he's ready for bigger and better things.  I'm not so sure mom and dad are ready for that just yet.  There is A LOT of baby proofing that needs to be done before he has free rein of the house.  It is so hard to believe that my little boy is 6 months old already and sitting by himself and about to be crawling.  Where has the time gone?

Baptism

OK so I know I'm a little late at getting this done and really there's no good excuse because this doesn't take that much of my time.  I guess I've just been lazy.  :)   On August 7th we had Jaxon baptised at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church.  He did a fantastic job during the church service and when it was time for the baptism, let's just say he paid attention to every word the pastor said.  You will see in the pictures that he is a very good listener and he knows when someone is talking to/about him.  I hope the good listening continues when he gets older.  Something tells me he probably won't.
