Moms

I am so grateful for mothers. I have an amazing mom who I can't imagine what my life would be like without. I feel so blessed to have been privileged to have her in my life. She has such a good sense of humor and is my best friend. She can do the impossible, which often includes making me laugh at myself. She has this incredible ability to attract all different types of people to her and inspire and uplift them all. She tells a great story and I would be lucky to be half the mom that she is. I owe a lot to this amazing woman, and I know she feels the same about her mother. I feel so blessed to have been given the chance to spend these last few months with my grandmother here and to thank her for my own mother.

Whitey

Okay so I know that the first picture looks like a power ranger shot, but I just couldn't believe how pale my child was until Hope and Kelly held him. I couldn't believe the contrast, I mean he is so white he almost glows.

Mesmerized

Mesmerized by dad's singing

Okay, so since this is my first kid I don't know what is normal and what isn't. But, for as long as I can remember Jax has been mesmerized by music. He absolutely loves to be sang to. He can be screaming at the top of his lungs and the minute you start singing he calms down and stares at you. He has just recently started to reach for your mouth (well he reaches for everything), like he is trying to capture the sound coming out. Who knows maybe he will be musical, and if he is he gets his talent from James because I am lacking in that department.

Photo op

Ok so I know that everybody goes photo crazy with their first child, but I think I have taken obsession to a whole new level. I just hope that if anyone ever does read and check my blog that they are not totally tired of all the pictures I take and post. But, he is just so cute I can't help it!

Me and my boy

There have been some new and exciting things that have happened in the last few weeks. For once I am finally in a picture with Jaxon. I find that all to often because I am the one having to make him smile that I rarely get to be in the pictures. So I am glad when I get to be in one when he is smiling and all too cute. Oh yeah, and now the 8 hours of sleep have been bumped up to 10 hours a night. I forgot how much I love sleep, and now I have my nights from 8pm on all to myself. Also, for the first time Jax rolled over!!! Thats right folks he rolled from his tummy to his back. Now as exciting as that is, he is yet to do it again, but maybe next time he will do it on purpose.

TOO COOL

So, Jax got some new sunglasses and James couldn't wait to try them out. I don't know how long it will be before he learns to take them off but as of now he doesn't mind wearing them. So now when we go out he looks cooler than me!!!

Hallelujah

Well, no pictures with this post kids but I had to share with everyone my excitement. Last night for the first time in what seems like eternity I was able to sleep for 8 hours straight. Thats right, no night light, no kid comforting, no listening for whimpers, no nothing. Just the soft pillow, warm blankets and darkness. Oh, and I can't forget the car chasing, bullet dodging dreams of course. Last night Jax slept in his own room (for the second time), and for the first time he slept through the night for a full 8 hours! I am so proud and excited, mainly for myself, but that still counts right?

New Friends

Abby, Jaxon and Lily (Jaxon and his women)
Jaxon and Brittany
Ashley with her triplets and toddler (J/K - whew right?)
Well Jaxon had an exciting weekend where he ventured to meet his own kind. Or should I say kids his own age. It was fun that he discovered future friends. It was so much fun to get together and talk baby talk.

Spring is here

So we went on a ski trip to pinetop. It was our first official vacation. It was so much fun to get out and enjoy my family. I spent most of my time with Hope since I was learning to ski for the first time and she was learning to snow board. James was the pro, even though he forgot what the sun does to his super sensitive alabaster skin. Kelly went down one day eventhough he tore his ACL once again. We tried to get Marissa down the hill, but she didn't want to. But we really appreciated all her help with Jaxon!!!
