Sick baby

Jaxson has been sick for the past few days.  His nose is constantly running and he is coughing alot.  I could seriously suck the crap out of his nose for 15 minutes and still not be done.  No idea where he is storing this stuff!! 
I know it is only a common cold (courtesy of daycare) but [...]

So tired…

The past 2 nights Jaxson has been waking up at 5 am.  We get up to give him his pacifer and find him unswaddled and just talking to himself–WIDE AWAKE!  So I have been feeding him and then reswaddling him and putting him back to bed. 
The little stinker has managed to figure out how to get out [...]

New Puppy

Jaxson got a puppy.  No–not a real puppy but a toy one.  And he loves it.  He will play with it for hours (okay not hours but at least a half hour which seems like hours in baby time).  Anyway.  I think he likes it so much because it is his size.
But since the nose [...]

Daddy Jaxson time

This was the cutest thing.  Jeremy and Jaxson were laying on the floor and reading a book tonight and I thought it was so adorable how Jaxson was holding on to Jeremy.

Jaxson loves his daddy.

Garage Sale

This weekend was the Balsis family garage sale to help raise money to bring Addison home.  They ended up raising $2500!  Amazing.  There were so many generous people who wanted to help the Balsis fam adopt their baby (and get some good stuff at the same time).  Check out their blog to see pictures of how many people showed up!

YAY!  I am so excited that this adoption is getting closer.  I want Addison to come home!!!

Struggling

I am struggling to work today.  I am working at home and I just keeping thinking of things that are more important than work. 
1.  Laundry
2.  Calling insurance to get all the backlog of bills taken care of from when Jaxson was born
3.  Watch men’s indoor volleyball (they won and it was a nail-bitter).
4.  Paint toenails
4.  [...]

County Fair

Yesterday we went to the Prince William County Fair with the Balsis Bunch and others.  I was so excited because fairs mean the best food ever.  As soon as we got inside the fairgrounds, I made my way to the nearest funnel cake stand.  Then I proceeded to have a corn dog, fries and a [...]

Sitting in the pool

On saturday Jaxson went swimming (or sitting) in his pool.  He was loving it for about 15 minutes and then he got cold and wanted out immediately.  and he cried until we got him out and dressed in dry, warm clothes.  But we had to take some pictures of him before we called it quits.   

new tires and a really long walk

This morning I had this great plan to get new tires for my car.  I checked the internet last night to see that the tire center at Costco opened at 11am.  So I was going to be there at 10:55 so that I could be first in line since they install on a first come first [...]
