29 Weeks

Yes...I know how to drink from my Sippy Cup now...GOT WATER???
This is how I got my nickname "Happy Feet"!!

They thought I couldn't figure out how this thing stays in place..NOT ANY LONGER!!


VEGETABLE TURKEY DINNER...YumYum!!

Mom...can this chair rock any faster??????

Fine...I will just sit here and gaze out at the water then..whah!!

You sure Mr.Parrot won't fly away out here??...I would miss him A LOT!!!

I will just keep shredding this paper until the Dr. gets here okay???

All that good ole' fresh air makes me a sleepy pie!!

Dad...your supposed to do your COOL look..so quit with the smiling..were GANGSTERS!!

Y'all got me this lunch box LAST YEAR on opening day before I was even here??? THANKS!!

And they think my hair isn't RED!!!!!!!!

I really am enjoying rocking out in this cool weather before I have to go to bed!!

Jaxton and me on Easter...he usually sees me behind the camera.

Wow..bright light Aunt Janine-nee!!

Your teeth are very bright!!!

Well at least Jaxton didn't sprout any more teeth this week!! I ended up having to get TWO crowns because I have grown two cavities under PREVIOUS porcelain filled teeth that had cavities there before. He said babies will do that to you sometimes especially BOYS...Whahh...he's worth it though!! AND I do have to get ALL my wisdom teeth out soon...so if after I seem like I lost a few brain cells just blame it on my "wisdom" they removed!!

Most of our week was me going back and forth to the dentist and then of course the torrential rains we had this weekend made us all have cabin fever!!

Jaxton had a Dr. apt with a dermatologist at Texas Children's in the MedCenter to evaluate if we should surgically remove his little strawberry birthmark on his tummy or just let it eventually fade away. Well it didn't take me long to decide this one after she said the word...GENERAL ANESTHESIA!!! No way would we ever put him under for something that is not life threatening even though she said his risk was the same as an adults...whatever! Maybe down the road we will reconsider!

This past week Jaxton only projectile vomited two times BUT I still didn't feel this was right so I took him to see his Pediatrician today and she said he could possibly have reflux so she wrote him a Rx for Zantac since insurance won't cover Prevacid until they fail Zantac. She said Zantac had a very bad taste and you have to give it 3xs a day where as Prevacid is Strawberry and you take it 1x a day but we will have to start with Zantac. So I went and filled the Rx and before I even gave him any I tasted a little first....OMG...it tasted like melted Band-Aids!!!! I knew he wasn't gonna like this so I put a Bumpkin Bib on him to catch what he was about to throw-up from the horrible GAG he was going to have from this Band-Aid medicine...and what a smart mommy I was...after two tiny squirts ( with many more to go ) he shook his little head back and forth and quivered from the nasty taste and spit-up what ever he had left in his tummy!! Whah!! So I will call her tomorrow and see if this means he has FAILED Zantac and can get Prevacid!!!

OH...and guess how much the little BOOGIE weighs now..18 lbs 12.8 ounces!!! You should see my Yoga looking arms these days...go figure!!

Other than that he has been doing really great!! He got his first paper cut this week and he didn't even cry like I would have!! I was reading him a new book his Aunt Laura gave him for Easter and it is kinda a big book with thin pages and he was flipping them so fast that one slithered across his BIG toe and I noticed him quickly looking down at his toe and grabbing it to look at the little blood that was seeping out! I was more upset than he was!

He is still making me get up at night a few times to flip him over to his back EVEN after I have seen him do it!! Hopefully he will start doing it A LOT more so I can get back to LaLa Land at night again!

Ross and I had to laugh the other day when we noticed that Jaxton MOMO's about 80% of the time when he has a diaper on with Cookie Monster on it...and so now ever time he has a MOMO we look and see if it was a Cookie Monster!!! Pretty Funny!!

This week I went to Whole Foods and broke down and got some jarred Organic baby food so he could try a meat...I wanted to see if he liked it before I made it homemade since it is a little more labor intensive..and what would you know...VEGETABLE TURKEY DINNER was a winner!! I guess I will be making a turkey BEFORE Thanksgiving gets here!!

This week Jaxton has continued to say Ba-Ba and we have even heard a Da-Da a few times but not consistently yet! He is really scooting more and more on his tummy and turning when he is raised up off his elbows. My time is limited before I have to put up ALL my candles...whahhhh!!

This week we are going to try Gymboree Learn&Play day to see if that would be something he would like to do every week. Hopefully so!! Then we both can meet new friends!!

Also Pottery Barn has Story time every Tuesday so we might pop in there too to see what that is all about!!

So this week I will pray that Jaxton flips over at night, doesn't get any new teeth and we meet some new friends!!
