First Trip to the Book Store


Grandma's school had a pizza night and bookstore fund raiser this week so Jaxon got to have his first visit to the bookstore! He loved looking at...well...everything! His eyes were huge taking in all of the colors. G-ma read to him and then let Jax pick out his own books! Hopefully this boy will love books as much as we do.

Breakfast with Daddy and Aunt B.




Mommy finally had a couple of days of work this week which meant that Aunt B and Daddy were on Jax duty! They are a great tag-teaming pair...Jax doesn't stand a chance against them! ;) However, on this particular breakfast, the winner is hard to determine. Was it Jax? Aunt B? The spoon and berries? I'll let you be the judge.




Happy 1/2 Birthday to you...Happy 1/2 Birthday to you...

6 months old in the Red Chair
Today is Jaxon's half birthday! I am amazed at how fast 6 months can go! Some of his favorite pastimes at the ripe old age of 6 months include jumping in his jumperoo (he's really gotten the hang of the jumping thing), sitting up right on the floor and grabbing favorite toys, trying to figure out the crawling thing (this is not his favorite actually-he gets pretty mad that he can't just GO already!) He loves to chew on anything--fingers, toes, the dogs, anything he can get a hold of! Jax has also started to throw in some consonant sounds in between excited shrieks. We can hear him practicing his sounds as he falls asleep and wakes up (diediediediedie) Super cute in the light of day...a whole lot less cute at 5 am. His culinary taste buds continue to expand with mango, graham crackers, tortillas, watermelon, honeydew, and berries being the newest additions. And he really is a smiley kid...there are some days where I just know that his cheeks hurt from all of the cheese he's given us!
This is such an exciting age and with the holidays approaching we are looking forward to pictures in the Pumpkin Patch, Turkey day football, and Santa! We are also having 6 month pics taken this week...so keep a look out cause one's headed your way!

Big Kid



In the space of just a few days...we realized that Jax had not only out grown his little blue bathtub...but his wonderful (or so we thought) corner crib! As he grew and became more mobile, Jax was finding every side of that cute little crib and squishing himself into corners! After too many sleepless nights, Justin and I went on the hunt for a new crib. Jax is much happier in his big boy bed! Baths are even more fun now that he has a little more room to splash and kick-kick and the high sides keep all of the water inside *gasp* the tub!
Can you believe that in only 19 days I'll be posting yet another red chair picture with our 6 MONTH old buddy boy in it??? ouch...that kinda hurt my feelings...sigh
