Busy Week!

Backwards, our week was pretty eventful. Sunday we went to the lake to help open up the cabin for the summer (YAY!). Saturday we went to see the FM Derby Girls. I figured that Jax would either love it with all the movement and people and things to see or hate it because of the noise. Final verdict was that it was fun because he could yell and scream at people all he wanted, but it got to be a late night and the only way to keep him happy was to give him his own seat. He was pretty proud to get his own chair, though. Earlier in the week, I took out the pool that Grandma Linda got him so he could go skippy dipping in the backyard. It was a good time until he learned that if he leaned on the ring that he could drain the pool. Next time we get to try out the new sprinkler!

The shirt goes with the pants below. They were a little small though, so in order to get the crabby pants to fit, Jax had to crawl around diaper free. I'm sure he didn't mind, he's a big fan of being naked.

Out for an afternoon drive

At the the roller derby, exhausted and in his own seat :)

Skippy dipping!

Tasting the water to see if it tastes as good as tub water and the water in the dog's dish. Final verdict was yes. I think.

Test drive

Ignore the look on his face. He wouldn't smile for me, and really I was just trying to get a picture of how he drives just like daddy ~ one arm hanging out the window, one on the steering wheel. Beep Beep!

Josh was working on a vehicle while we test drove, I think Jax was trying to get his dad's attention before we cruised the sidewalk.

We joked that all he needed was a car and then he'd be picking up the ladies left and right. Well, it came true the other night while Jax was test driving the cozy coupe ~ the neighbors' little girl climbed right in its window!

Baseball Game

Last weekend, while Josh fixed a car, Jax and I went to watch Tanner's baseball game. Jax got a little wiggly and had to go sit with Papa and help snag balls.

On track!

I reached a point last week where, if it wasn't raining, we'd go outside for a few minutes to swing or just check things out. He looooves to swing and likes that the swing is low enough to the ground that he can grab some grass as he goes by :)

Jaxon's year stats ~ 21 pounds, and 31 inches tall. Still cute.

We had preemie clinic and RightTrack today ~ and, Bree came home from Germany! Jax was so excited to see her when he got to daycare this morning, we sure missed her! Preemie clinic was pretty uneventful, we go back again in August. We didn't get a final weight, Jax wouldn't sit or lay still on the scale, so she just guessed. The weight above is his weigh from his well visit last week. OT said he looks like he's on track, Dr. Jay says he looks good and we're sposed to keep working on the milk thing and see if it gets any better. (Jax started drinking cow's milk a couple weeks ago and it's not going so great, his body does NOT agree with it). RightTrack said the same thing as OT, the only thing he's not doing in his chronological month developmentally is taking steps on his own.

I was pretty sure he would do like he always does when RightTrack comes, is just kind of play with her toys, but not really "show off." Well today, at preemie clinic and for Sandy (RightTrack) he wouldn't keep still or keep quiet!

Splashin!

A Birthday Celebration!

If you look really closely, or reangle your monitor, you can see Jax and Josh coming down the waterslide. Watching Imagination Movers while I was trying to pack up our things.

Around 11 pm he fell asleep ~ first with Grandma Linda, then again on our bed while we set up the pack and play. He was exhausted once he came down from the sugar high of 2 cupcakes (plus the frosting that I shared with him while frosting cupcakes on Saturday morning..)

Jax and Mike

We were surprised how not messy he ended up after eating the 2 cupcakes. I have never seen him eat so fast, I think he was afraid we were going to change our minds!

I am pretty sure he didn't chew at all (he gets that from his dad).

Naked baby! LaNora took a nap and missed out on cupcakes....

I love the look on his face as Mike is trying to put his new sunglasses on :) He does this with our head massager, too.

All the grandparents, aunts, and half of the uncles (we missed you, Jeff & Tanner!) made it to the party. We partied until Jaxon was too exhausted to move, pretty much! Thanks, everyone, for coming ~ we are thankful for all the awesome people in our lives!

One Year Photos

In 7 hours and 37 minutes, my baby will be one year old! Unbelievable.

This was his first time in a "real" swing :)

This is my FAVORITE one!

I had to post this one cuz Josh thinks when he makes this face, he looks like Popeye.

He looks like such a big boy in this one! I don't like him looking that big.
