First Zoo Trip!



We took our first trip to the zoo with Auntie Tricia and Tyson.  Jaxson didn't really notice the animals too much, but he had fun being outside and getting some fresh air.

This kid loves Ice Cream!


Looking at the monkeys with funny butts!  He actually noticed them.


The zoo is exhausting!

5 months old!

You are such a big boy already!  In the last months there have been so many changes... Jaxson is now sitting up all on his own, rolls over all the time (hates to be on his back!) and is trying to figure out this crawling thing.  He can turn himself around in circles on his tummy, wiggle around making himself move and also scoot backwards.  Not too far away from figure out how to move.... better start baby proofing!!!!

Jaxson is eating lots of food now and LOVES it.  His favorites are pears, peaches and peas.  Not too big on carrots, green beans or bananas though.  We keep trying new flavors and blends every couple of days.  You should see the face he makes when you try to give him a bite of something he does not like.  It is just too funny!  When he likes the food, especially pears, he say "Mmmmm...." with each bite.

He is now sleeping through the night... that is just great! Jaxson goes to bed around 8:30 pm and is up smiling at around 6:30 am.  He plays for about an hour and then goes back to sleep for another hour or two.  Mommy is NOT a morning person, so he usually lays on the floor and plays with his toys, while I lay with a pillow and a blanket and try my best to stay awake, LOL!  He is one smart kid though and has been trying to figure out a way not to take naps though... he does not want to miss a thing.  First he thought if he did not take his binkie anymore then he would not fall asleep.  After fighting with him and seeing that he was just beyond exhausted I just put him in his crib awake... he fussed for a minute or two and went right to sleep.  It was that easy!  Now that is all  have to do to get him to sleep. In the last 2 days though, he has realized that he will take a nap regardless so he is back to taking his binkie.  Jax is not huge on them though, he just sucks on it while he is falling asleep and then spits it out as soon as he is out.  He sure does love his blankies though... he must have one in his hand and usually right up on his face when he falls alseep. It is very cute.

Bad Bad Mommy!

It has been way too long since I have updated Jaxson's blog.  So much for every couple of weeks, huh?!?!? I have no idea where all of my time goes these days, but I never seem to have time to sit down in front of the computer anymore.  I am going to try to make more time though, since I think this is so important.  Keep checking the blog and bug me if I am not updating it enough!
