HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Oooh...This wine thing is pretty cool!!!Would you believe it if I told you Jaxton SLEPT THROUGH ALL the fireworks????????!!!!!!!!! They were so LOUD....it sounded like a war going on outside our house!! I kept looking at the monitor and it was going all the way to RED ( which means there is very LOUD noise in his room )!! He moved several times but did not wake up until 2:30 when the fireworks were all over BUT when I was just able to go to sleep from all the noise...GEEZ!!!!
He did stay up long enough to want to suck on the bottom of my chilled wine glass to Celebrate the New Year...I think he liked the moisture on his tongue!!
The next day Ross left for Dallas to see Texas Texh in the Cotton Bowl which turned out to be a HUGE upset...Whahhhhh!! Jaxton and I went out to Katy to see some old family friends and to see his future wife " Emma"!!
BUT as we were heading to Emma's house Jaxton was starting to cry in his car seat and I was on the phone trying to get directions from Heather ( emma's momma ) and my Mom was following me over there when all of a sudden I noticed bright flashing lights in my rear view mirror....YES ... Jaxton was being pulled over for the very first time...( too bad it wasn't a cop pulling us iver for his crying!!!). In the mean time my MOM is saying out loud to herself as she is following behind me " Steph...do you not see that State Trooper behind you...SLOW DOWN". She was trying to call me BUT I was already BUSTED!!! So I turned into a parking lot and as he followed me my MOM was following him BUT WAY TOO CLOSE. He put his brakes on TWICE for her to GET BACK...and she kept saying to herself " what is he doing??" So as she turned in he stopped his car before coming to me and got out and YELLED at her to park over there ( away from me)...the poor guy thought we were trying to trap him in between us!! He said " Lady, we pull guns on people like you...you NEVER trap a STATE TROOPER!!!!" So as I am watching this in my side mirror telling myself " Mom...just stay in your car"....she is getting out to try to explain to her that I am her daughter and I have a crying baby in the car. He asked her how old I was and she said " 32" and he said, " She is OLD ENOUGH to take care of herself so stay put!!" So finally he comes over to me and asks why I was speeding and was MAD that I was on my cell phone and that was very dangerous with a baby.....I said " I know and I have told myself I would not talk or text while driving BUT I was trying to get directions from a friend ( Jaxton was in the back trying to tell the cop to please let us go so he could go to sleep!!) . After it was all said and done he gave me a written WARNING and let my Mom finally come over to us after scolding her AGAIN that what she did was wrong. She said she was sorry and was just being an OVER PROTECTIVE MOTHER!!!! He ended up turning out to be really nice and we all laughed about it and was on our way then. He even pulled up next to me at the light and waved again and smiled!!! GEEZ!!!!
I think Jaxton was the one who was able to get me a WARNING!!! Thank Goodness!! If it weren't for him Mom and I would probably be in JAIL!!!
Well we finally got over to Heather's and played with all the other babies and then headed back to my Mom's for a much needed HOT BATH!!!!
On Friday Mom and I went to Babies R Us for about 2 hours to get all the stuff he needs to go to his Babysitter's starting on MONDAY!!! Whahhhh!!! After a couple of hundred dollars later we strolled over to LaMadeline for lunch where Jaxton started to find his THUMB!!! I have been trying to force the pacifier in his mouth but all he does is CHEW on it...I think he will be getting teeth ( or a tooth soon!!) We left there and went shopping so I could find some new suits for work and "Little Man" slept the whole time!!!!
WAIT>>> Did I say Little Man??? He is now weighing in ( as of Monday Dec. 29th ) at 14 POUNDS and 8 OUNCES!!!! I took him to see the Dr. because he had a rash under his neck fat roll and they said it was from sweat and the moisture was creating a rash so put Lotrimin on it for a couple of days....and what do you know???...it went away!! So now we must make sure to dry him really well in all those fat creases!!!!
We are SOOOOO close to starting cereal and I can't wait to see if it really makes him sleep through the WHOLE night...I bet it will since he is such a CHUNKY MONKEY and is growing so fast that he needs more that just a LIQUID DIET!!!
Pray for all of us this week as we begin a new chapter in Parenting as we hand over our little precious to a stranger for his care!!!
