Can you guess what he is walking towards??

Yep, his obsession!

I wish I could DRIVE this car!!

This is what I would look like if I sold ice cream!!

Mom-mie and me at Bluebell

Had to stop and get Dada some BBQ rub for his ribs!! And M&M's for ME!!

My 1st time to eat a STRAWBERRY and I'm NOT ALLERGIC ! Yea!

I'm gonna be "2" on my birthday !

Oh where, oh where has my little baby gone???? I thought it would be much later for some of these changes he is going through but they are here! This whole summer Jaxton has been wanting to go sleep in the "BIG BED" every night we have put him down in his crib. What he is referring to is the king size bed in the room next to him. I thought maybe he just wanted to sleep with me but after him crying when I put him in his crib every night and then waking up crying to go to the "BIG BED" we decided it was time to say "Bye-Bye" to his crib and get him a BIG BED! We bought everything in a matter of 5 days and he watched us take his crib apart and put together his new full size bed...he was SO EXCITED the whole time yelling "NEW BED"!! Since the moment he knew it was his NEW BIG BED he wants to go upstairs and get on it and just lay there and look at everything in his room and talk about it all...so sweet! So this is the 4th night he has slept in it and has been sleeping very good...I do have to lay down with him until he goes to sleep since it is so new but at least he is not crying anymore...poor little guy just needed more room!!

We have taken it easy these past couple of weeks and just played in the pools a few more times until they are closed. He caught another cold but it really wasn't bad except a runny runny nose...but all is better now!

Since Jaxton was very little I have used the phrase "Oh my goodness" a zillion times not knowing that I was embedding that phrase into that little brain of his.....but I have and that is his new phrase lately and will come get me where ever I am in the house to show me "oh my goodness" which means he has spilled his Cheerios all over the place :) He also has finally figured out how to open all the doors so I immediately made a trip to Babies R Us and purchased those things that go over the door knob which is impossible for them to open but turns out it's pretty hard for us too! Jaxton figured out what they were and got upset that he couldn't open up those doors but I just kept repeating " dangerous" and showed him the ones he was allowed to open and he was okay with that...for now :)

Jaxton is seriously repeating and remembering every word we say.... even sentences or phrases. Unfortunately he heard me say s**t when we were putting his new bed together...which I never say but it came out and he said it about a hundred times... we couldn't help but laugh hoping he will forget about it in a couple of days!

Last but not least, Jaxton is FAMOUS!! We have a local magazine in Cypress and I saw an ad asking for fall pictures of your children so I sent in a picture of Jaxton in the apple orchards we visited last October in California and sure enough they REALLY liked it and used it as an entire page for the Cy-Fair Fall Activities leading page!

Galveston 2010, Memaw's 90th, Much More !!

Moody Gardens Hotel - Galveston 2010



Just arrived and already ordering room service

So excited to be here!

Palm Beach at Moody Gardens

Hangin' with my cousins Austin & Ashlyn

Grandad and me at the hotel pool....if only he would give me a sip of his Pina Colada!

Seeing who can hold their tongue on the lime the longest

Mom-mie, Dada and me

Ashlyn, Austin, Dada, Grandma & Grandad at Fisherman's Wharf

Waiting patiently for our table

After a goodnight's sleep Jaxton was seriously hanging like this and taking a MOMO :0

Then he joined me for "pretend coffee"

1st time back to the beach in a year...not too sure

He's wondering if the seaweed are his Ewww's like he plays with at home

Trying to figure out what he is standing on ( he doesn't like sand at all usually )

Now I put him closer to the water and he still trying to figure it out

Here comes the ocean!

Now he is digging his big ole feet into the sand

He wasn't happy after that so he chilled on the beach chair for a bit

So we fed the seagulls his cereal

And he LOVED that!!

So much for the actual beach time....20 minutes maybe!

So we headed to Schlitterbahn for the day with everyone

Jaxton loved the "tubes" and the lazy river with the BIG waves

Playin' with Dada

Chillin' out in the tube

Didn't want to get out...but he was way tired so we headed home!

Happy 90th Birthday Memaw!

The drum AGAIN! He remembered it from the last time

Snacktime at Coupon Day at MOMS group

Mimi taught me how to finally whistle with this flashlight/whistle

Finally, I have had a chance to sit down and update Jaxton's life! We are just about to start counting the days down until Birthday #2....holy cow!

We have been running around all over the past few weeks and looking back at these new pictures I can see my little boy actually growing up....changing so fast and learing so many new words!

A few weeks ago we went to swim at my sister's house and experienced what the Caddy Shack Pool part was all about!! As I was spinning Jaxton around and bobbing him up and down singing "Ring around the Rosie" in the pool.... Inoticed a cloud that appeared around me and him and immediatley knew it was MOMO that had escaped Jaxton's diaper! Unfortunatley it was not like what you saw in the movie BUT it was more like oatmeal flakes with flaxseed!!!!! I haven't seen anyone jump out as fast as I did when my sister and her husband knew what it finally was...LOL!! Poor Jaxton had no idea!

Other than that...the pool trips have been without MOMO and alot of fun! I took Jaxton to Noah's Ark Pool at First Methodist Church and he finally decided to start jumping into the pool and going all the way under and closing his mouth so he didn't choke! He did this I know for 100 times...seriously! He kept saying "AGAIN!" He has continued to get braver and braver with the water so hopefully next year we can sign-up for swim lessons and have success!

After having my camera for almost a year now I remebered it had a video on it too so I have tried to use it a few times so I could download him in action...hopefully it works because our really nice video camera is too powerful!

Ross's grandma, Memaw, celebrated her 90th birthday this month! We drove to Tyler to celebrate with almost 70 other family members and it was a perfect day for her I think! I enjoyed meeting the rest of the family I had not met yet and enjoyed seeing all Memaw's Great Grankids playing together!

And to end our last few weeks, Ross's parents asked us to join them down in Galveston at Moody Gardens with their other Grandkids for a couple days of water fun!! We enjoyed the Palm beach at Moody Gardens, the hotel pool, Schlitterbahn and the beach! Jaxton did really well at all the water activities EXCEPT THE BEACH....he hates sand and so do I so I couldn't blame him. I had enough time to capture a few pictures in his sailor outfit Mimi gave him before he was ready go "Bye-Bye"!

As we count down the days until Jaxton turns TWO, I am in awe of how much this little guy has learned and changed in just two short years....I am so BLESSED to have such a PRECIOUS and LOVING child!!
