24 Weeks !!

My first Play-date with ALL Boys...Yea!!! Mommy with her pretty friend Aubrey!!
Our Mom's must love stripes...BUT we do look Gooooood in them!! These are my buddies Harrison and Nathan ( yes..we are all looking at our own mommies !)

Dad .... it is way too funny you think I would ever go to Texas Tech!!

Because all I would ever get there would be a beer belly like this!!

This looks like the green slime from Nickelodeon...but Mom says they are just Peas!!

All my clothes that I have already outgrown since I have been born!!

Hey Mom... what are these...I never got to wear them!!

All I have to say about this whole entire past week is that Jaxton and I truly shopped til we dropped ( but we did wait until after his Baptism which I will talk about on the next blog post at then end of this week). Ross went out of town to Atlanta for training Monday through Wednesday and Jaxton and I took off to the stores...I was trying to get everything ready for his special day! We were even running around in all the horrible rain we had and at one point Jaxton was looking up into the sky trying to figure out what kept hitting his face...first time to feel raindrops falling on his face!

On Tuesday we went over to my girlfriends house ( Aubrey ) to have a play date with her son, Harrison, who is just a few days apart from Jaxton and her friend Lisa who has a son, Nathan, just a little bit older than the both of them. Jaxton enjoyed finally playing with some other boys but really liked Harrison's mommy...don't know if it was the hot pink sweat suit she had on or her pretty blond hair!! And it was good for me to talk to some other mommies too!! We are going to make sure we do this more often!

Wednesday morning ( before we left to shop ) Jaxton tried sweet peas for the first time and he seemed to like them too...hopefully he will continue to like his veggies!! This next week we are going to try carrots!! I am having to be very creative in my songs to get his mouth to open wide...BUT one song still works...The wheels on the bus go Round and Round BUT we have added two new verses: Jaxton on the bus goes toot,toot,toot....toot,toot,toot...Jaxton on the bus goes toot,toot,toot all day long AND Mommy on the bus says,"Lipstick please,lipstick please, lipstick please!!!"

Well this past week Jaxton FINALLY wanted his arms out of the swaddle but did wake himself up a few times during the night not knowing what to do with them BUT by the end of the week he figured out that he can touch and grab the bumpers in his bed so they may have to go soon!! Most of the time when I look at him on the monitor he looks like Jesus on the Cross with his arms spread way out to his sides ( freedom finally!!). On Monday before Ross left Jaxton turned over 3 times all by himself AND we were able to capture it on the video camera!! He hasn't done it much again BUT the past few nights I have seen him turn onto his side in his bed so I am sure we are just a few days away from him doing it all the time. He has been pulling his head up all this week too no matter where he is laying down...couch, floor ,my arms, high chair, car seat and stroller....he is getting so ready to sit up soon!!

And speaking of all the GRABBING he does now...every time I have given him a bath this week he GRABS his precious "Jewels"...I tell him "NO NO you can't just grab them you have to be very careful with them...BUT he just smiles back and grabs them harder...OUCHIE!!!!! Oh what I have to look forward to with a BOY!!
