100 Days of the Jax Show

Everyday I feel like I'm in or watching the "Jax Show". He loves it because it's all about him and I love it because he is so dang cute. I am so grateful to be a part of his day and live in his little world. I like to say I am this hard core mommy I thought I was going to be and Jax fits into my life but it's just not the way it turned out! :) This little man has me to wrapped around his finger and I am pretty sure he knows it. So today on his 100th episode (or 100th day), I thought I would give you a little peak at the Jax show.

Sometimes it's a thriller.....
Sometimes it's a tear jerker.....
Sometimes it's a drama....
Sometimes it's a comedy.....


Sometimes it's an adventure......


And sometimes it's a rom-com

We Love Tubbies.....





Can't get enough of this boy!!! He loves his tubbies. He has learned if he straightens out his legs and then kicks like crazy he can splash his water everywhere! He has also started to suck on his rag that we put on his tummy to keep him warm. I can't wait to take him swimming....I could be jinxing myself, but I think he will love it :)

3rd Anniversary

We were so lucky to go out for the first time in 3 months for our anniversary!!! My sister has been trying to get me to leave my baby to go on a date for weeks and I just couldn't do it. First I felt bad, the woman has 5 kids of her own!!! Second I hadn't left my baby with another other than Jon for more than 15 minutes or so. Little did I know my sweet husband set up babysitting with two of the best babysitters EVER!.....Aunt Shauna and MaDeb (my mom). Jon knew there were a handful of people I would trust baby Jax with and he nailed it on the head.

It was so great to get out and spend time together just the two of us. We were able to see a movie which is mine and Jon's favorite past time! Thanks again to best babysitters in the world! I honestly didn't worry one minute we were gone. I only wondered how much he spit up on you guys! :)



(I stole this pic from my Mom's Facebook page, sorry no pic of Aunt Shauna :(



Our actual anniversary was on a Sunday so we got to celebrate two days in a row. The second day of celebration being @ Home.....

A little sparkling cider.....
A little carrot cake (I am usually on the ball and make our traditional anniversary carrot cake but Kneaders did the honors this year and it was wonderful!!!)

Keeping an eye on little man.....
My awesome husband making dinner.... (Yup I know I am a lucky lady ;))

I can't believe it's been 3 years....3 years, 1 condo move, 1 long 9 month pregnancy, 1 adorable baby, 5 moves within Verizon stores, tons of school at UVU for Jon and so much more. I am so grateful for Jon's determination to marry me because without it I wouldn't have him or Jax! Although marriage can be hard, the road rough, it's so beyond worth it to travel this life with Jon!!!

Sunday Best

3 Months Old!!!

I heart this little boy! It seems like we just brought him home from the hospital yesterday and at the same time feels like he has been part of our family forever. With that said, Jaxson has had a lot going on this month :). He is still a super smiley little thing, tongue included, especially in the morning. We usually wake up to him chatting away and are received by the warmest entire face smile. I love that he smiles with his WHOLE face! I still can't figure out how I got a morning baby....I am so not a morning person, I guess I will become one ;). He has also just started sleeping in his big boy crib for both naps and night time. When I was pregnant I never thought he would have been in our room this long. He has been in a port-a-crib but there was comfort in knowing he was at the end of the bed. But at the end of day I was waking up to every little noise (while Jon slept through everything!) and not getting good sleep. By no means is little man sleeping through the night.....I freakin wish!!! He does usually gives us a 5 to 7 hour stretch depending on his mood :). He has also discovered his world from a whole new perspective with his bumbo seat. He never usually lasts a long time but loves it. Also he started rolling over but again it's only when he wants to. Most of the time he looks at me and puts his head down like he's tired. But every once in while the noggin goes over and then the rest of him follows. We are stills struggling with his acid reflux and constant spit ups (day & night) but he seems to be doing okay with it. He is what they call a happy spitter on medicine. He loves to face out because he likes to be part of the party but will snuggle when he gets up from naps which I love. Naps have improved....thank goodness! We discovered his room has to be pretty much pitch black and he needs to be on his tummy. If we put him on his back he just smiles and giggles because he can see mom and dad. He still loves his binks during sleepy time. He is showing a lot more interest in his toys and loves to put everything in his mouth including his & my fingers. He thinks that standing on my legs is the best and tries to climb up to get higher. He is also extremely ticklish like his Dad. He gets very excited when he knows its time to eat....it's so CUTE! We also had his first Christmas which was so fun...probably more fun for Jon and I then for him but we loved it!!!! I seriously can't believe how big he is.

Bumbo Time







(**Seriously when did my baby get so big!!! It's killing me how fast he is growing!!! Every couple of days it hits me just how fast it goes by.)

A couple of days ago Jon and I noticed Jaxson kept trying to sit up when he was laying back, almost like he was doing crunches. It was pretty cute! We would just help him sit up and support his back and he was happy as a clam. I mentioned this to my sister, Shauna, who said maybe he was ready for the bumbo. In my mind my baby came home from the hospital yesterday so there was no way he was ready for the bumbo. :) But that night I busted out the bumbo and let's just say little man was heaven. He could see his whole world and was loving it.
