7 Weeks Old

My Aunt Laura bought me these BOOT booties from Pinto Ranch....so Comfy!!!

Okay Mom, I know you are Elsie but PLEASE don't make me be your little baby cow!!


I LOVE just laying on my back and exploring the CEILING!!!

Thanks MOM for covering up my JEWELS!!!! It also keeps me warm!!!

If you look REAL close you will see where MOM spilt ketchup on me while she was holding me asleep and she was eating...she EVEN made me sleep in it because she didn't want to wake me up...so this is the next morning!!!

Well for all those reading this blog I hope you are enjoying our little moments we encounter each week. It is truly a BLESSING that this little man is in our lives and I am THANKFUL everyday that I get to hold and love on him whenever I want to. I see these Moms and have friends whose babies have been so sick that they can only touch them in their incubator for months!!! How SAD that is!!

Again this was another week of growth and fun!! I have to tell you the funniest story first though because I can't quit LAUGHING SO HARD!!!!!

Well Jaxton is now taking all formula and I am only Elsie the cow about two times a day now until I totally quit producing milk...BUT I do have to say that I shed a tear the first time I POURED my expressed milk down the sink...it was like throwing GOLD into the river!! AND I had to take the milk I was storing inthe fridge and throw it out BUT BUT BUT before I did that I had to do something that we would never get a chance to do until I have my next child...I poured some of it into a plastic cup and walked over to Ross sitting on the couch all into the TV and said, " Hey Ross, I bought some new SOY milk and I wanted you to taste it to see if we like it better than what we drink right now.....AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW....WITHOUT HESITATION...AND COMPLETE TRUST IN ME.....HE DRANK from the cup and looked up at me with a Eww Face and said it tasted sour.....WHICH it might have been since it had been in the fridge for several days....BUT I couldn't bypass the moment of him tasting MY MILK.....I started to crack up so hard and barely could tell him it was my breastmilk...he wiped his tongue with his shirt and couldn't believ I just did that!!!! Well....he had been talking about tasting it for the past 9 months ...so there you have it...his wish is my command!!!

Okay enough about the breastmilk from here on out!! No mas!!! But I do have to say that Jaxton's poopies are no longer little or odorless....they are like strained PEAS and it happens once a day and he is truly a GRUNTING BABY when it comes!! FYI...when you become a parent you become OBSESSED with POOPS and Pees!!! ANd from here on out we will call his poopies...momo's....this is the family name for it!!! And as far as his toots...they are still adult like...my Mom was shocked ( and she jumped )when she had her hand under his bottom and he decided to let one escape for her!!! It was so LOUD and it VIBRATED on her hand that it scared her!!! HA!! So as I told you before MYLICON drops are great for excessive tooting BUT on the news the other night what was on the RECALL LIST.....MYLICON DROPS>>>> for metal flakes in the liquid!!! HOLY COW!!!! SCARY!!! So when I went to Walgreens the other day to get my Flu shot and a different brand of toot medicine the MYLICON DROPS were still on the shelf!!!!! I had to tell the pharmacist and she freaked out and immediately took it off the shelf!!! Geez!!!! We all have to watch out for each other!!!

This week I also experienced " CALGON TAKE ME AWAY"...except I had no Calgon!!! I took my first HOT BATH since I had him!!! My incision is totally healed and I could of just stayed in there for a year!!! I LOVE my baths and it has been difficult not having them!!!! BUT we are back in business now!!! It truly takes the full 6 weeks to recover from a C-section!!! I can do just about anything now and am on my way to start exercising this week!!

I took Jaxton this week to have some Professional pictures done of him...which I should have done about 4 weeks ago BUT better late than never. So I will post the web-site address this next week and you can look at them if you want to see MORE pictures of him!!! They will be up for only a week.

And one note to all those new Moms out there: Jaxton LOVES the Baby Einstein CD's...it puts him right to sleep during the day and I even take them in my car to chill him out for those first few minutes when he is adjusting to the car seat!!

He has been SMILING SO MUCH MORE and I can't wait for the first Giggle!!! He is also VERY HAPPY when we sit him up in between pillows so he can see straight ahead....he is going to love it when he can sit on his own!!! Hopefully that's not too far away for him!!!
