I can see the floor!

Our garage was getting out of control.  I mean really out of control.  You could barely walk from the front to the back without having to climb over all kinds of stuff.  And as much as we kept it organized, the baby stuff (swing, bouncer, jumper, clothes) that Jaxson is constantly outgrowing was just taking [...]

Now really bye bye bottles

After my last post, Jeremy decided that we should just cut out the morning bottle and be done with it.  Well today was the day and Jeremy had to be the one to implement it first.  I slept in because I was out late with my girlfriends at the Rascal Flatts concerts (which was awesome by [...]

bye bye bottles

Jaxson really got the hang of the sippy cup when we were on vacation.  So we decided this week that we would stop giving him bottles throughout the day and see how it goes over.  He is doing great and really could care less about not having his bottles.  He still takes one bottle in [...]

It is 1994???

Today I went rollerblading.  Yes–rollerblading.  My sister-in-law and I decided it would be a good workout so we were rollerblading at 6am.   Does anyone rollerblade anymore?  I will admit it was a good workout but I am so not good at it.  My arms were flailing about just trying to keep my balance and I [...]

I just got dumber!

I just finished watching the show “I survived a Japanese gameshow”.   Seriously–I have lost brain power just by watching that show.  I watched the first season of it last year when I was on maternity leave.  I remember taping it and then watching it at 3am when Jaxson wanted to eat.  At 3am it seemed [...]

Finally understanding

Everyday Jaxson amazes us more and more.  Yesterday we were playing and we were trying to figure out what to do for dinner.  I asked Jaxson if he was hungry and wanted to eat and he looked right me, pointed to his mouth, stood up and ran to his highchair. 
Then this morning when we were [...]

My friend Charlie

On Sunday, Jaxson’s friend, Charlie, got baptized and we headed over to his house for a brunch.  Charlie slept for most of his party but when he did finally wake up, Jaxson was able to play with him for a short while before we needed to head home for Jaxson’s nap.  They were so cute.  [...]

It was definitely thawed and not frozen

We are back from the thawed tundra.  We had a lot of fun and definitely miss everyone already.
Summary of our trip:
Plane ride went well but we have decided that from now on we will be buying Jaxson a seat.  He is just too active to sit in our laps for that long.  Plus there is [...]

To the frozen, but hopefully, thawed tundra!

For the next 9 days we will be vacationing in Wisconsin.  Whoohoo.  It is the annual Karls Family golf trip.  All of Jeremy’s family gets together and heads up to peninsula part of Wisconsin and spends their days golfing.  Since Jaxson does not golf well yet, he and I will be hanging back at the [...]

Pink eye!

After all my bragging about how Jaxson has not been sick in soooo long–he has pink eye.  The daycare called yesterday and told me to come and get him and take him to the doctor.  Urgh!  I go to pick him up and his poor little eyes are all crusty and goopy.   He looked like [...]
