Us three guys hanging out at Hungry's for lunch! ( My Gymboree friends Nikko & Taylor)Well we started this week off with " Sleepless in Cypress" which pretty much continued throughout the week and weekend to include "Conroe and Tyler" but by the time we got home on Father's Day Jaxton's front teeth had FINALLY pushed through and we were able to sleep through the night again..WHEW...can't wait for the next ones to come in...NOT!!!!
We had a really fun week though...we had our usual trips to Gymboree and all the Mom's keep cheering Jaxton on to crawl BUT all he does is gets up on all fours and then scoots backwards until he is sitting again BUT he does want to pull up on EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. I guess we should enjoy these last few non-mobile days of his before we are up and running around after him ALL DAY LONG...hey...maybe my legs will match my in shape arms then!!!
We spent the night at Ross's Mom & Dad's house on Wednesday since his cousins were in town all week going to vacation bible school. We went swimming and had dinner at the Pizza Shack! Ashlyn and Austin carried him all around the whole time I was there....what a break that was for my arms and NECK!!! We came home for one night and then it was time for our first trip to Tyler ( where Ross's sister and family live ) and to Longview to visit his other Great Grandma ( Theda ). Once we all got on the road ( yes...including Kenney too!! ) we had to stop in Navasota so I could feed Jaxton his bottle and when I was changing his diaper in the truck he said something LOUD and PERFECTLY CLEAR..., "MOM"...Ross and I just looked at each other stunned and we both said "NO WAY!!!" He has continued to surprise me with it since then...he sounds like a TODDLER...WHAH...he's growing up too fast!! We stopped one more time in Palestine at a very old Italian restaurant so I could feed Jaxton his dinner ( mind you we were having dinner at his sister's very shortly BUT it was time for him to eat!). So we ordered one order of mozzarella sticks...oops...fried mozzarella sticks....and brought in a bottle of wine we were taking to his sister's and enjoyed a glass while Jaxton ate his dinner!! Then we were off again.

Then we were off again.
We finally made it there and Jaxton was so wired he didn't go to bed until 9:40 P.M.!! He and I slept in Ashlyn's PINK room that night BUT moved to Austin's room the next night so we could sleep on the king size air mattress so I could stay up for awhile without worrying about him falling off the bed! ( Remember...he hates the pack-n-play!) He has really gotten used to falling asleep anywhere now which is actually good!! Saturday Jaxton took a 2 hour nap in the morning....SO EXHAUSTED...and then we headed to Longview for him to meet his other Great Grandma Theda! He LOVED her hands and kept pulling at her stretchy skin...poor Theda!! She was so happy to finally meet him! Then it was back to Tyler where we celebrated Father's Day with an awesome Prime Rib dinner Shannon & Jamie cooked and a TOTALLY AWESOME chocolate cake with strawberries!! That night Austin's 3rd tooth had been trying to come out all week long and he finally let Ross PULL-IT!!! I couldn't watch it....it gives me the eebie jeebies!!! I hated the feeling of that when I was a kid!! Austin was very brave!! Sunday morning we headed back home and we all were in bed by 7:00!! We were some exhausted travelers!!
Jaxton and I gave Ross a Father's Day present that he can't use until September. Ross is a TOTAL TEXAS TECH FOOTBALL FREAK so I knew he really wanted to take Jaxton to his 1st football game this year so I was able to get tickets...by a very gracious family friend ( my Mom's Boss who is a UH Alumni Season Ticket Holder PLUS other things who immediately called the ticket office and ordered them right up for me...OTHERWISE I probably would not of been able to get a hold of any ). This is the first time Tech is playing UH in 15 years down here..WHEW..thank goodness there was a game here in town!! So I bought enough tickets for Ross, Jaxton, Me (of course), my mom, and his mom & dad to go!! Since it is the day after Jaxton turns ONE I also reserved a room for the whole weekend downtown at the Hilton of Americas as part of his Father's Day present too!! I think Jaxton is going to start expecting to stay in a hotel once a month!!

Okay one thing I have to write about since I keep forgetting is about Jaxton's MOMO's lately!! There have been LOTS and LOTS of them with all this food he has been eating and they sure have been VERY COLORFUL ( like melted crayons!! ) when he eats what I cook him BUT when he eats the packaged food they are SO BLACK!! Holy cow!! Two times when he ate the packaged food a couple meals in a row he had filled up his diaper so much that it came all the way up his back and onto his clothes!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes!! That's when you throw your hands up and just go wash him off in the water!!
Last BUT not LEAST...he has grown very attached to his penguin stuffed animal that we bought him during our Moody Gardens trip...so much so that when you hand it to him he squeezes him so hard because he is so excited ( like he is giving him a hug ) but to the point I feel like I almost need to administer CPR on the poor stuffed guy!! I will have to warn all his other stuffed friends!!
