4 Months Old

Today Jaxon had his 4 month check up with Dr. Sullivan.  He did a great job and cooperated with the nurse while she was getting his weight and length; smiled and talked to the Dr. when she came in.  He now weighs 12 lbs 14 oz which is in the 14%, and is 25 inches which is in the 57%.  Then it came time for the dreaded shots.  He cried for just a few minutes and then took his binky and all was good.

Dr. Sullivan also told us that we could start introducing cereal and food.  After the doctor appointment we had to run by Target to get a few things so while we were there I picked up some stage 1 baby foods. Tonight at dinner we tried sweet potatoes. I think he would have eaten the whole jar if I had let him.  He loved the sweet potatoes!!  I hope he likes the other veggies and fruits as much as he liked the sweet potatoes.



First overnight trip

A couple weeks ago we took our first overnight trip with Jaxon.  We went and spent a few days in Blanco at Brett's parents house.  They have put there house on the market and we wanted to go spend one last time there before they sell it.  It was amazing how much stuff we took.  This time when we go overnight somewhere we are not only packing for ourselves but Jaxon as well.  He by far took WAY more stuff than we did!  I should have taken pictures of the truck all packed up and I'm kicking myself for that.  It was quite a sight to see.  We had the bag for Brett and I with our clothes and toiletries, the pack n' play, a bag with clothes for Jaxon, a bad with food for a Jaxon, and a bag with toys and diapers for Jaxon.

We had a great time while we were there.  We took Jaxon swimming in their pool, which he seemed to enjoy.  It was hard to tell because he just had a very serious look on his face the whole time.  Almost like he was studying the water very intently.  Oh to have been able to know what he was thinking!  Jaxon was paraded around town so Omi (Brett's mom) could show him off to all her friends.  Uncle Blake came down and we got to hang out with him.  A few of Brett good friends from high school/college were in town so we went over the their house and spent some time catching up with them.

It was a great trip and I'm sure there will be many more to come.



I'm BACK!!

Ok it has been FOREVER since I have posted!  Things have been very busy around here and a few weeks ago when I went to update the website wasn't working right.  From here on out I have told myself I am going to be better about posting, even if it is just a short post about the days activities or Jaxon's newest accomplishments!

Jaxon's latest accomplishments include sitting up with a little help from mommy, daddy or the bumbo; smiling, talking, and an occasional giggle.  He is also learning he can grab and hold on to things.  Jaxon is also rolling over from his tummy to his back and is very close to rolling over from his back to his tummy.  He is growing and changing so fast.  I can't wait to see what new thing he will do next. 

Blessings to all,
