Independence!

We spent the 4th of July in Lakeville at Grandpa Jim and Grandma Linda's. Our first longer than an hour car ride went well ~ Jax slept the whole way, with the exception of when we stopped and woke him up to eat. (The drive home wasn't as quiet, apparently on Sunday he was attention starved and just wanted someone to cuddle him) Once we got to Lakeville, he got in all sorts of cuddle time with everyone. At the baby shower in April, we got the CUTEST swimming outfit ever (pictures posted below) from LouAnn and Shelby ~ he was finally big enough to wear it and he was ADORABLE! Not that we thought he'd look any other way in his swim trunks, shirt, hat and flip flops. I will be sad when he's too big for those flip flops! We didn't wear the outfit in the pool, but we dipped our toes in the little pool that Grandma had got for the little guys to swim in.

Yesterday was our 2 month NICU Free Birthday! We are planning on going back up to visit the NICU nurses on Wednesday night after Josh gets home. I am excited to see the nurses and for them to see how much he has changed in the 2 months that we've been home.

Today we started preschool summer camp. Jax slept through the first half and was wide awake for the second half. It was fun to be back with the kids and getting messy.

Tonight, I test drove giving Jaxon some water in a bottle ~ the pediatrician said to try it if he seems hungry between feedings and so he learns that he can't snack between feeds. After he realized it wasn't milk in the bottle, he looked at me like I had four heads. He'd try it again and then gag like he was trying to spit it back up. I guess the water trick won't work.
