2 Year Check Up

I nearly forgot to post about Jaxon's well check last week. This blog won't do me much good once we have it printed to a book if I don't include that stuff too!

Tuesday was Jax's 2 year check. This was the first one where he was actually friendly with Dr. Tillisch. Thankfully, there were no shots this time! He weighed 26 pounds, and was 35 inches tall. The doctor says he's tall for his age and could stand to put on a few pounds. I don't know how he can't weigh more, since he eats ALL DAY LONG! He must literally eat and then run it all off right away! It was an uneventful check up, really. Only thing out of the ordinary was that we had Jaxon's teeth varnished with fluoride to help prevent cavities. That part of the check up wasn't so fun, but Jax decided it wasn't so bad once he realized it tasted kind of good. ;)

Easter

The sun came out for Easter! It made for a perfect day for egg hunting and taking your cozy coupe and trike out for the first drive of the season :)

Who Needs Toys?

For his birthday, Jax got a basketball hoop. This basketball hoop came in a large box. Jax likes to climb into this box and hang out. My brother was kind enough to cut a window for him to peek out of and he thinks he's pretty sneaky chilling out in there.

Easter Egg Hunt

We took Jaxon to a Nighttime Easter Egg Hunt on Tuesday. There were lots of activities for him to do ~ we waited in line for 2 jump houses, but when we got to the front of the line he wanted nothing to do with them. He got to pet a real bunny and see some chicks, but Daddy moved too quick for me to get a decent picture of those. The picture below is the face he made when he saw the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse one. He was pretty excited to see Tootles up close. He won a basket in the egg hunt ~ this thing was as big as he is! :)

As you can see, Jax LOVED the Easter Bunny as much as he liked the Hooter's Girls.

Batter Up!

Jaxon got a teeball/golf set for his birthday and he was getting antsy and kept trying to find a way to get outside, so we went out to test drive his new toy. We didn't golf, but we did hit the ball around a little. It was fun til Daddy had to show him how far he could hit and it flew across the street. And so Mommy had to run after the ball, while Daddy chased down Jax before he got to the street.

Birthday Celebration: Day 2 part 2

You'll have to forgive the quality of the first two photos ~ Josh took them with his phone at the Big Boys Toys Expo. Last year, he and Mike took Jax to the Big Boys Toys Expo and decided to try it again this year since it was supposed to be bigger and better. And so, Jax (and Mike) had his picture taken with Miss Hooters 2010 (huge claim to fame, I know). That night, we were joined at Hooters by Mike, Brandy, Jameson, Darcy, & Ty for dinner. And so more pictures with more Hooters girls were necessary. I'm sure Jax will look back on this birthday with all sorts of fond memories :p

Birthday Celebration: Day 2 part 1

A little bird tipped us off the other day that Curious George and the Man in the Yellow Hat would be at the mall today and so we ventured out to meet them. Pretty sure that it made Jaxon's morning to meet George. He has a George that sleeps with him and on occasion we let him out of the crib to go for motorcycle rides in the living room. We took George on his first real outting today, to meet himself. He was very well behaved, as was Jaxon. We had daddy take our picture with George and the Man and then we stood back and watched them for a bit. Jaxon was so excited he kept dancing around going "George! It's George!"

Make a Wish!

Birthday Celebration: Day 1

Daddy decided that the perfect place to celebrate turning 2 was at Chuck E. Cheese and so that's where we ventured to last night. But, before we left, we had to open a birthday present that came in the mail from Grandma Linda and Grandpa Jim. Jax was NOT happy we had to leave his potato head home to go out for dinner. Aunt Tina, Mary, Cin'Que, and LaNora joined us at CEC to play some games (I know they're reallllly sad they missed out on the *not* awesome pizza!) We checked out the animatronics (robots?) and Jax decided they were fun to look at as long as mommy wasn't trying to get him to touch them. We had to take daddy up front to show them to him too and all Jax could do was yell, "Dad! They sing! They sing!" We finished off the night with his 4th cupcake of the day :) Happy birthday to my baby sunshine!

2 year pictures

Today, I replaced one of Jaxon's 6 month pictures with the picture below. When I put it in there, I remember thinking "he's so big now!" In comparision, he's sooooo tiny to today's pictures! Still just as cute though! :)
