A letter to my son from a tired mommy

Dear Jaxson-
I have given you 3 days to get your sleep routine back to normal after the time change.  That should be plenty of time to readjust your schedule.   Why are you waking up so early????  Seriously, you used to sleep till after 7am but now you have been waking up at 5am!  This is just [...]

18 month stats

Today Jaxson had his 18 month appointment. 
He is 26 lbs (50th percentile), 33.5 inches (80th percentile) and had a head circumference of 18.75 inches (50th percentile).  We have started to notice how tall Jaxson has gotten recently because 1) his pants actually fit lengthwise 2) he can reach things on the counters that he never could [...]

Cheesy smile

He was randomly smiling like this one day and I said that is such a cheesy smile and he giggled.  And from then on, every time we say “can we see your cheesy smile?” we get this in response.  He is such a ham!

Just not as flexible as we used to be

Today Jeremy decided to steam clean the carpet in the living room.  So after we moved all the furniture out, we stood in the middle of our empty living room and thought it would be cool to do somersaults and cartwheels since there was so much open room.  Seemed like such a great idea…  
Jeremy did 3 somersault in a [...]

Fun with family

This weekend my parents came to visit and Jaxson was super excited to see “papa” and “nana”.    At first he was a little shy because he has not seen them in a few months and so he needed to be reminded that they were real and not just people that we point to in a picture.   [...]

When a door closes…

hopefully another one will open soon. 
Tuesday Jeremy went to work at 8am with his lunch in hand and was home by 10am he was walking through our front door with not only his lunch but the contents of his entire office.  He got laid off yesterday.  Business is just not what it used to be.  He is [...]

Buddy Walk

The Buddy Walk for Payton and Nika was this past Saturday.  This is the fourth year we have participated in this walk and this is the first year that we have had crappy weather.  And I mean crappy weather!  It was freezing and raining and windy.  But there was no way that weather was gonna [...]

Molars

Jaxson is a very late teether.  He only has four teeth: 2 upper and 2 lower.  Until this weekend.  Jeremy was brushing his teeth after breakfast and noticed that one of Jaxson’s two year molars was popping through.  Seriously!?!?!  He is gonna have molars before any of his other front teeth come in-geeze.  He really need [...]

A very important message!!!!

Jaxson has something very important to say to daddy. 
 He tried to read it to daddy but there were some big words. 

So he decided to just clap for him instead. 

Yay daddy!  Happy Birthday.

GO PACK GO!

We decided to bust out the cheese head again this year.
Jaxson wore it for about 2.4 seconds before the chin strap annoyed the crap out of him. 

We put it on him again but without the chin strap this time and showed him how cute he was in front of a mirror.  He was much happier [...]
