My sweet neighbor/friend gave Jax this robe because her son had outgrown it and she knew of Jax's love for McQueen. However, I could not get him to wear it. He just wanted a towel (as he would put it)! Well when you run out of clean towels, you lose the choice. :) He actually ended up loving it. I think he looks so cute in it! :)
Today I had my 16 week check up (technically a day short of 17 weeks) with Dr. Ollerton. During my appointment he asked if I wanted to sneak a peek at the gender of the baby. Since I left Jon home with all the kiddos I asked if he could write it down so I could open it with Jon. I love my doctor because he made me cover my eyes and printed out an ultrasound picture of the baby's stuff. On the way home, I decided to stop by Partyland and have them fill a gender reveal balloon for Jax and Jon to pop. I even left the store so I wouldn't be tempted to look!
I thought it would be fun to do a "pop" party and picked up Pop Rocks with the balloons. The kiddos grabbed the color of rocks to match their gender vote. Barrett, Xander and Jon voted boy. Grace, Lola, Jax and I voted girl. It was so fun to do the gender reveal with some of the Watson kiddos at our house!
I think Jax loved popping the balloon and all the excitement! The boys (including Jon who guessed right again!) were excited that its a boy and the girls were a little sad.
I'm truly so excited to have another little mister in our house and even more excited for a brother for Jax. Hopefully we survive having two hooligans :).
Oh how grateful we are for this guy. I could not ask for a better father for our children. He is kind, patient, fun, loving. Jax adores him so much and can't imagine it being any different with our next child.
Today Jon's cousin Adam came over to re-level our back yard and clear most of the remaining rocks. So naturally we had rented a digger and that made someone's world! Jax was so excited and jumped on the digger first thing with Adam. After some sprinkler fun, he headed back to the digger with Jon for more rides.
I just have to say I love that this boy is happy with the simplest of pleasures, like a sprinkler :)
After a little hose cool off time, it was finally time to get on the digger!!!! Someone was beyond in heaven.....like he never wanted to get off.....ever!
Lately Jaxson has decided to lay on my belly when he watches cartoons, giving it a little squish. Someone decided it was not having and decided to kick Jaxson today. It was pretty awesome because it was a one two kick punch. I don't think our new little arrival is going to have a problem keeping up with its brother. :)
My boy has turned into quite the kitty fan these days. Poor kid has no idea mom is allergic and we will never get one :). Bummer for him. Thankfully our neighbors/friends have an outdoor kitty he gets to love on.
Tonight I walked in my house to this disaster. We have been playing so hard this summer and have rarely been home. When we are home, we are usually playing, doing more stuff and I am exhausted at the end of the day. For those that know me well, know I love a clean, organized house! But this summer I have been trying to put this aside and make lots of memories! The mess will get cleaned at some point but the memories will last forever :).
