She is 8 Months Already!!

Bad, bad, bad Mommy for not updating our blog in 5 months!!  Guess I never really knew how much time it would take to raise kids and using my time at night to "get things done"!!!
Well Presley has been a very uneventful baby....this is GREAT news...she is just so sweet and goes with the flow!  She is just now starting to really babble and make a few scoots so I thought I better get back in "saddle" so she wouldn't feel "UNLOVED" later in life when she compared Jaxton's blog to hers...which is now called "their's"!!
She has had very few nights where she sleeps all the way through so I am still giving her 4oz of formula one time during the night...this is probably due to the fact that she is not a big baby food eater yet...maybe I should cut back on her milk...it's not like she is "TOO SKINNY"!! She definitely has the Hoke legs...poor Honey Boo Boo!!  She is wearing size 12 months at least...but she is very tall too. 
About a month ago (7 months) she started to flip over on her tummy and still has not mastered flipping back over so do you know what that means for poor Mommy???? ...I am having to go in and flip he back over several times during the nite...whah!!  Mommy  very tired these days BUT I know it won't last forever and since this is my last baby I am trying to enjoy every moment!!
Since she was born I have had a new phone which has taken me away from this computer and thus away from sitting down and writing about my kiddos...which is way more important to do..so my New Year's Resolution is to keep this up-dated more often and to get all my pictures printed and some hung up in the house.  I take a picture of her Monday thru Friday and post it on my facebook page...it started when everyone gave me sooooo many clothes I thought it would be a great way to say THANK YOU...but now she has so many friends that they say she makes their day so how can I stop now!!!!!  So much fun though!!!
I recently took her "beautiful bumpers" out of her crib and replaced it with a breathable bumper which makes me sleep alot better at night. 
She has loved the "bassinett" stroller I have for her and just loves to be out and about.  She LOVES to get people to notice her...way too funny!!  Basically she is just so laid back that sometimes you don't think she is around!!!!  I am sure that will change soon!!
Jax-Man has grown up alot too over the past 5 months.  He has really grown to love his sister and wants to be around her all the time.  When he gets into one of his crazy moods and is screaming for fun or getting mad..she just laughs at him thinking he is playing with her...I know that will change one day!!!
He adjusted to his new school about 2 weeks into it and has really LOVED being there....as well as learning so much about GOD !!  Then his teacher, Ms.Kelley, had to leave for an early maternity leave and we are hoping she will be back soon....although the substitutes have been wonderful!!
The thing that sticks out the most about Jaxton right now is that he LOVES to repeat phrases from movies....ALOT!!  Good ones and Bad ones....and I can't say thank you to Disney because there are many inappropriate phrases in their movies...geez!!!  So much for thinking your kiddo is just fine watching a "G" Rated movie!
He is still into cars and trash trucks and of course drains! Oh what will this turn into one day!!
Oh, I did forget we tried t-ball this fall and I think Ross ran after Jaxton more than Jaxton ran to a single base!!  Just wasn't for him:(  But he did look so cute in his uniform :)
We are excited for a fun filled 2013 and expect a lot of stories...so stayed tuned and hopefully we will bring you some laughs!!!
