NEW PICTURES!!!

So here they are...a little later than planned....OOPS! Thats what happens when I go back to work! Here are some pictures from bathtime with daddy :).... by the way he's been sleeping like 6-8 hours every night!! EEEKKKK! That has been such a blessing for us!!! Enjoy the pictures :) I'll have more tomorrow, the memory card is at school :)

2 months!!!

I know I am SO way late in posting this, especially since I will be posting the 3 month one in like 13 days!!! WOW I can't believe that my little one is two months old already! He is growing like a weed! We had his 2 month old appointment, and he has almost DOUBLED in size since birth!!! He was 6 pounds 3 ounces when we left the hospital, and at his check up he was 10 pounds 14 ounces!!! WOW He is also 23 inches long, 4 inches longer than birth! The doctor said he is doing really well, he has great control of his head. He loves to pick it up and look around...he's so nosy (totally gets that from daddy ;) ) He got 3 shots, which was pure torture for me! But he did really good!

So his sleeping patterns vary each day... but he consistantly sleeps at least 5 hours the first stretch....He had his first night away from mommy and daddy...for Valentines Day I took Ian out for dinner just the two of us...my mom and dad had Jax over night...and he slept...get this 9 HOURS!!!! WHAT? He has YET to do that for us!!!!

Other than that, things are going well, I went back to work...it has been very difficult, but we arae settling in and getting into a routine. Jax does great wherever he is, and it is harder on me than on him :) It has been wonderful getting back into the swing of things at school! I really missed my kids...

I've got great pictures of him from bath and his bumbo, put I'll post them tomorrow :)

Valentine's Day....

So every year, my mom has a valentines day party...This year we were ALL home and my cousin from Washington was there also! So much fun! The kids get presents, and so do we :) It is a great way to celebrate the holiday of love :) Kayla opening her present....

I am opening Jax's present, his adorable stuffed animal from Aunt Tasia.

The biggest hit of this year was the silly bands :)

Cole loved this shirt!

He was so tired out after the party, he fell fast asleep in the sun on mom and dad's floor :)

He is baptized!!!

Jax was baptized last Sunday. Almost all of our family made it, which was wonderful! He did SUCH a great job! He never even made a peep, even when our pastor put the water one him! Afterwards we had our friends and family join us for cake and ice cream. My mom got a cake of Jax in his baptism gown :) The very proud parents!

My two favorite men! He is such a proud daddy

Oldest grandchild and the youngest grandchild, Liv does so good with Jaxon! I love watching her with him

My mom and Jax

Papa and Jaxon... you can tell it is the end of the night, Jax is in his p.j.'s :)

Baptism....

Jaxon's baptism is on Sunday, and I have been searching all over for a baptismal gown that isn't girlie but that isn't a suit....well I told my mother and low and behold she found the perfect one! I should have told her sooner....mothers are great like that! She brought it over this morning and I tried it on him...it is PERFECT! He didn't even mind the dress up session :)

The booties are crocheted and are BEAUTIFUL! They are a little hard to see but I had to try :)

Baby Shower....

My sweet first graders decided to throw me a baby shower....Jax and I went in and had a ton of fun with the kids, especially watching them drink from a bottle for the game :) Getting ready to open our gift... Jaxon looks SO into it :)

Perfect...starting him out with a cell phone early :) at least this one is free

I love this book, my niece and nephew have it and it is so cute (Tails)

One of my room mothers made these, they were ADORABLE! Good thing Jaxon didn't realize there was something yummy next to him :)

Busy Week!!!

We have had a VERY busy week! Jaxon got to spend his first night in a hotel. My lovely husband and I took his parents away for the weekend to spend some quality time with them. It was great fun and Jax got lots of grandma and grandpa time.... Daddy and Grandma working to get a smile from Jax...

Three generation of handsome men :)

Jaxon also got to take a road trip to see Great-Grandpa and Grandma...We went there on Sunday for lunch and had lots of fun with them!

This is Grandma's 28th great-grandchild! Which is crazy because I 23 cousins that are younger than me and are not married!

We got BLASTED with a huge blizzard this week! The biggest one since 1976! The schools were closed for 2 days (of course that happens when I'm on maternity leave :))... Here is Jax all bundled up.

Jaxon also got to go on his first field trip with me and my class....Even though I am on maternity leave, I didn't want to miss the field trip to the museum, so I bundled Jaxon up and off we went...he slept in the Bjorn the whole time :)

We finally got to share Jaxon with one of the most amazing families in the whole world! I started babysitting for them when I was a freshman in college, and have been blessed ever since to have them in my life!

I can't believe how big she has gotten! Can't wait for her to babysit for us :)

Hmmm...looks like you might need another baby soon :) You need a boy to even out the girls :)
