4 Months!

Jaxon in his crib. Don't be fooled. He might be smiling here but right after we walked out of the room he was screaming his head off!

Jaxon in his jumperoo. He doesn't know what to do but he likes the horsey sounds it makes.


Look at all that Chub of Love!

Jaxon will be 4 months old on Sunday but we had his 4 month check-up today. He is weighing in @ 15 lbs 9 ounces and is 25 3/4 inches long. He is a chunk! But that just means more to LOVE! He is healthy besides a little cold. Which fortunately is just a runny nose.
Last week Josh and I decided that it was time to put Jaxon in his own room to sleep. We just couldn't take listening to him lift his legs up and slam them on his mattress all night. He just can't be still even at night. I didn't think he would have any problem sleeping in his own room. Boy was I wrong. He hated it! I was up every 2 hours with him screaming his head off. I also tried to stop swaddling him @ night in fear that his blanket would work it's way up over his head from all his kicking. That was also not a good idea. So the next day I went to Babies R' Us and bought the swaddle me blanket. What a life saver! This is the best invention if your child has to be swaddled @ night. Now Jaxon sleeps all night in his room all swaddled up from 9pm to 7am. Woo Hoo!!! He will probably have to be swaddled for the rest of his life.

Yay! Don't you love it when Jaxon sle eps all night! Caylee has been sleeping from 8:30/9pm to anywhere between 8-9:30 pm usually sleeps 11-12 hours. However, nap time is a different story. She cat naps all the time=( Jaxon is getting so big! I'm glad you guys are enjoying him;)
