Babies of 2008

Those of you who don't get the Itemizer Observer, each year they do a babies of... issue. So here is the picture that I admited for the 2008 babies. If you do get the paper, look for him in the Feb. 25th issue.

Jump baby jump

I had been looking on Craigs list every day for a jumparoo, and came up empty handed every time. I was getting so frustrated because I didn't want to buy a new one. Beings we are done having kids I didn't think it would be worth it to have a new one and get rid of it in a few months. But my dear friend Desi asked me the other day if I was still looking for one. Turns out her mom had one that she was getting rid of. So my search was over. The best part was, I didn't even have to pay for it. Jace hasn't quite got the hang of it yet, but he enjoy's watching the lights and toy's on it. I can't wait for him to start jumping in it.

Jace is 4 months

Jace turned 4 months old on Feb 2nd. He is such a chunk!

NO PULL UP OR PANTS!!!!


Jaxon has always not liked to have his underwear and pants on, he is like his aunt Meggie when she was little. Jaxon also likes to fall asleep on the floor by his door and I go in and put him back in bed when he is asleep. Well last night when I went to put him back into bed I was welcomed by his pull up and his pj pants. I just stopped where I was and laughed to myself. So then I went to his bed and pulled back his covers and there he was, nothing on the bottom half. It was so funny. When I went to put them back on him he was so asleep he didn't even wake up. And once again I had to capture it so he can look back and remember all the silly things he did as a kid. Every day he keeps us laughing with what he will come up with. It sure makes it a lot easier to deal with him in his terrible two's when he adds a little humor to our day.












Molly

Last Christmas Jaxon got a stuffed dog named Molly. For the first year he would play with it a little bit. Then we left her at church and a few months later I found her. And now Jaxon can't sleep without her. She is his favorite stuffed animal. Every night when I tuck him into bed I ask him if he wants her and he softly says "yah" and he cuddles with her. It is the cutest thing ever. So one night when I went to check on him before I went to bed, he was cuddling with her so cute I just had to take a picture of them together. I am sure he will love to look back at the picture when he is older. HEHEH!

Being a mom of two

IBefore I got pregnant with Jace, my friend Kalie shared some stories about how hard it is to have two kid's. So when I found out I was pregnant, I was so excited, but then in the next second, I was scared out of my mind. I thought "what am I going to do with two kids." Well life wasn't to bad with two kids until a month or so ago. Before Jace would just sleep and Jaxon could play with his mommy and daddy. But the older Jace is getting the harder and harder it is. Jace is demanding more of my time and so is Jaxon. Don't get me wrong, I still love being a mom of two wonderful boy's, but it is really really hard. As much as Jaxon loves his brother, he is starting to "hit the brother" as Jaxon likes to call it. The other day my dad was over and he was playing with Jaxon and then he said "let's go see Jace" well Jaxon didn't like that. He had on his rain boots and he kicked Jace in the head. My dad had to scold him. Poor Jaxon's heart was just broken. But he is getting jeallous of other people playing with Jace and not him. Jace likes to be heald, and Jaxon is wanting to play motor boat, duck-duck goose (goof ball as Jax calls it) and ring around the posey. It is a little hard to tend to both kids by yourself. Not to mention my husband works 2pm-10pm. So he isn't home most of the day and I am the one left to entertain the two of them. I am hoping that it will get easier after a while, because there are nights where I just want to pull my hair out. But anyway, I think this just ended up to be more of a vent session, but it got it off my chest.

Jax and his boots

For Jaxon's second birthday we got him some rain boots and a rain coat. At first he hated to wear the boots. They are to big, and he had a hard time walking in them. I would put them on him every day to get him used to wearing them and he would just plop on the floor because he couldn't walk in them. It was the funniest thing. But I was bound and determined to get him used to them, because I love it when little boy's wear their rain boots or cowboy boots everywhere. So after a little time, he got used to them and now he LOVES them. He was out side with Jay the other day and there was a mud puddle at the end of our driveway and he just started splashing in it. It was so cute.
