Staying in the Christmas Spirit - 11 weeks!!

Outside Licking the Snow!!!
Taking my usual nap all swaddled up in my swing listening to Mozart!!

My very own stocking!!



I got another stocking from a family friend and I love it because its so soft!!


Hopefully I will gets more books from Santa!!


What another week of growing for this little man!! We are now in Size 2 diapers since we can see his butt crack in the Size 1 now....too small!!! I swear he has grown taller and gained more weight but we won't know until we see the Dr. at 4 months ( end of January )...hopefully we won't see her before then!! BUT we will be able to give him cereal then!!! Yea!!!

This week he has learned to blow tiny bubbles with his mouth and LOTS more talking...even some squealing has emerged!!! LOTS of smiles too so I hope that means he is HAPPY!!!!! He is on the verge of giggling...I think he may have a little this week but I want to hear it LOUD!!! He is still trying to swallow his hands...geez!!! He is doing extremely well on focusing on something for a long period of time....he likes his "Hello Bee" book alot!! The animals have big eyes ( they are supposed to like that ) and there is a mirror on every other page that says " Hello Me" so he can stare and smile at himself!! He can follow an object from left to right and even looks at me upside down!! I put a rattle in his hand and he kept a good grip and was able to shake it several times and pull it to his mouth before he let go...will have to keep working on this...but he does grab for other objects....especially his Santa blankie still....he LOVES him!!

I don't know if this is good or not BUT Jaxton loves to watch the t.v.!!!!!! Seriously!!! I am going to start putting in his Baby Einstein videos next week and my mom bought him one where we can practice "Baby's First Moves" ( he needs to be 3 months so that is next week )

I have been sitting him up alot more since he is holding his head up pretty good all by himself and he can stand straight for awhile too now...he likes to see the different view I am sure than just lying down always and looking up.

Sleeping has been going really well for him ( maybe one day since Thanksgiving has he woke up alot )!! Last night he slept 7 hours straight and lucky for me I went to sleep about 1 1/2 hours after him so I was able to get more too!! Hopefully it will keep getting better. I just need to try to keep him up longer at night so he won't be bright-eyed at 5:15!! But he is SO TIRED in the evening...probably from playing all day!!

And guess what he got to see this week....SNOW!!! Yes he did and he even sat out in it long enough to try and lick it when it was falling on his mouth!!! I took some great video and captured a few pictures...who would have thought!!! I was so glad I was home to get it on video!!

Well my days are drawing near where I am going to have to leave my "little man" and I get an upset stomach when I think about it BUT we are meeting a lady next week who might tale care of him in her home...so please say a PRAYER that it happens!!!!
