Me, My Mom, My Mom's Mom and Jaxton on Christmas
FIRST day of school!!
Flowers from Ross for making it through the first day dropping Jaxton off
Almost ready to sit by MYSELF!! Cool view from up here!!
I like to play with my rattle now that I can hold it ALL BY MYSELF!!
GOD sure was with Jaxton and me last Monday!!! He slept great the night before his first day of school and I was able to get some good rest too! He took a little nap before he went and then we got him dressed and drove over to Ms. EJ's house....I sure was antsy and had some anxiety BUT I knew GOD put Ms. EJ in our lives for a reason!! I dropped him off and gave him a BIG OLE' Hug and Kiss and then handed my precious over to a stranger for the FIRST TIME!! He started to cry as I left but I waited to cry until I got into the car!! She said NOT TO WORRY and to call anytime if I wanted to.
Several hours later ( and watching my phone to ring from her...which it never did!! ) I went by Babies R Us to pick him up a treat and then headed to pick him up!! When she opened the door she was holding him and he had a HUGE SMILE on his face and I was so relieved!!!! She said he did GREAT and only cried a little more after I left!! She said he had a BIG MOMO and had 2 naps and loved to be held in her lap!! What a RELIEF!!!! That evening he was very happy so I knew he had a good day with her and liked her alot...she has a real calm and loving personality...that's what I like most about her!!
He went back again on Wednesday and did even better that day...NO CRYING when I left!!! WHAT A HUGE BLESSING SHE IS IN OUR LIFE!!!!
For me returning to work as a MOM was different but good to see everyone again and of course they wanted to look at my book of pictures I was sure to take with me!!!
This past week Jaxton has been all over his bed at night ( still in his swaddle ) so I tried to put him in a "Sleep Sack" instead to see if he would like that better so he could move his arms....BOY WAS I WRONG!!! He woke up alot....so back to the swaddle and he has slept great ever since!!
There is a book called "Baby's First Year Journal" that tells you what happens everyday with your baby for the whole first year. I read it every Sunday for the week ahead and I tell you what....the book is right on as to what he starts developing next!! It is cool because it helps me look out for what he should be doing or what I can work with him on.
He still hates tummy time BUT is holding his head up really good and is turning from his back to his side ( by kicking up his legs in the air )! He still is eating his hands and really found his thumb last week BUT has not sucked on it alot...hopefully not!! He has great eye / hand coordination now so is able to grab his toys really well and put them in his mouth this week! He sits there and inspects his hands all the time and has started to pull on his clothes and MINE all the time!! He has even found his toes but hard to reach them everytime due to his fat rolls on his legs!! HA!! When he sees his bottle now too he starts to make sucking motions with his mouth and gets excited and then proceeds to hold his bottle ( not by himself but almost ).
We started to raise him above our heads in the air during playtime and he really smiles and laughs....didn't think he would like that because he HATES it when I walk down the stairs with him.
AND HIS HAIR>>>>> STILL LOSING IT!!!!! He looks really funny from the side...half of his head has hair and the other half has very little!!
This week is another BIG STEP for us because I am STAYING THE WHOLE NIGHT AWAY for the first time for a meeting at work on Thursday/Friday in the Woodlands!! So pray for Ross and mostly for Jaxton!!! We are about to have MAJOR LAY-OFFS at work and will find out if we are still employed on January 30th. They are cutting 50-60% this time!!! WOW!!! If I do get severed my last day to work would be Feb. 6th but they will pay us full time salary until April 27th then I would get my severance ( 37 weeks of full pay )!! I am a little anxious BUT know GOD where put me where he wants me!!
My Boss called to tell me he reserved a room for me with a big KING bed all to myself for a whole night of uninterrupted sleep ( But I bet I wake up since I am so used to it )!! I told him they may have to come knock on my door to wake me up then or I might sleep and sleep and sleep and be late for the meeting the next morning...he said he would give be a "hall pass" if that happened!!! I'll let you know if I get my FIRST night of FULL sleep in 4 months!!!
