Guess whos 1?

Happy Birthday Jaxon!!!

Today our baby boy turned 1. We can't believe how fast Jax is growing. We had a nice day. Well besides the nurse giving him shots on his birthday. I think we could of done without that. He is a big 24 lbs 13oz and is 30 1/2 in. I guess you can say he is one healthy boy! He is a talker in his own martian language. He does say mama, dada, and baby in english though. He also likes to say ahhhh with his mouth open so big. He can be pretty hilarious. We have so much fun watching him learn and grow.



Jaxon saying Ahhhh. He has a huge mouth.





We love you Jaxie!!!

10 months!

Jaxon is 10 months old. I know I can't believe it! Babies really do grow fast. Jaxon is on the move at all times. He can actually crawl normal now except sometimes he gets lazy and goes back to the army crawl. He is also standing and walking along furniture. It's just a matter of time before he is walking all over the place. Jaxon is so much fun! He just learned how to wave goodbye and he points to everything. He is so funny with all of his facial expressions. We just love him so much!!!

Jaxon already to go to the park and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Jaxon has a love for books. He has this basket full of books and he will take a book out, look at it and then set the book down and pick out another one until there are no more books.

Sorry!!!

I am sorry it has been awhile since I last posted. I just haven't had alot to talk about. My life can be kind of boring at times, I guess?

Jaxon is now 8 months. Well now he is almost 9 months old. Since the last time I blogged, Jaxon has one tooth and a 2nd just about in. And he is a major army crawler. He started about a week ago and thats when my life got little harder. He is into everything. He doesn't really care as much for his toys when he can put his hands in the VCR, pull on the shades of the sliding glass door or tug and chew on every cord. He can also open and close drawers. Yes my child is a curious MoNsTeR! But at the same time is so dang cute! I just love watching him grow and learn new things. We are currently working on the word "NO". As of right now he thinks it is so funny. I hope it won't be that way for long.

Yes I am the trouble maker!

Right before Church

Jaxon loves to play the piano. I think we might have a little Beethoven on our hands.

This one is too funny. This is smart Jaxon after waking up from his nap.

Other than that it is the same old thing in the Mortimer house.

3 Years!

Josh and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. Josh's mom was able to take of Jaxon so that we could celebrate. We went to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and then we saw "Seven Pounds". The movie was great but I pretty much cried through half of it. I recommend it! We really enjoyed spending spending time together.

I look back and I just can't believe how fast the time has flown by. I feel like we were married just yesterday. And how in the last year our family has grown from 2 to 3. We have been blessed in so many ways and we couldn't be more happy. We look forward to spending all time and eternity together!

A CrAzY & EXCITING Weekend!

Jaxon wanted to graduate too.

Josh graduated from Sac State on Friday. Woo hoo! He is so glad to be done and he is ready to start his career. We are so proud of him and all his hard work that he has put into school, work and our family. We love you!!! On Friday we also celebrated my 24th birthday by going to dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. It's my fav restaurant!

Then on Saturday we celebrated Josh's graduation with a party. It was awesome! Thanks to all that helped out. I don't know what I would have done without you. I also promised my primary class that I would bring gingerbread cookies for them on Sunday. So I stayed up till 2 in the morning making gingerbraed cookies and finishing my lesson. So much fun!

On Sunday we attended William Perryman's baby blessing. Thanks for inviting us Liz and Scott! William is so precious! We love you guys! We then had the opportunity to attend Josh's Aunt and Uncle's annual Christmas Gathering. It was great. The music was so beautiful. We had a really good time, especially Jaxon!

Jaxon worn out from our crazy and fun weekend.

Now it's Monday and I am so worn out. Time to clean my dirty home and reenergize before Christmas!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Who the heck is this scary guy?

Jaxon meeting santa for the first time. He could not keep his eyes off of him except for this one picture. All he wanted to do was stare and tug on santa's beard. Thank goodness it was real otherwise we would of ruined Christmas for a lot of kids.

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!!!

Busy Busy Busy Month!

Last month was one busy month. Thanksgiving with family, sick and teething baby, black friday @ 4 in the morning, family photos and Jaxon is 6 months.

Our little Thanksgiving Turkey!

He loves to sit like a big boy and play in his crib.

If you look closely you can see his buldging gums. No teeth yet.

Jaxon just chewing on his tongue.

I put this one on here just because I love the look on his little face.

Jaxon is now half a year old. We had his check up yesterday and he is one healthy boy. He weighs 20lbs 4oz and is 27in. He is my little chunky beast. Heis learning so much. He can sit without support. He is a little wobbley at times but he does really well. He is rolling all over the place. And he just started to say "ma ma". With lots of help from me. He doesn't know that thats the words for me yet but will get there. I just can't believe how much he has changed. I love this age. He is so much fun!

Jaxon has already experienced 2 colds just this last month. He got sick right after we got home from Disneyland. He was sick for about 2 1/2 weeks and then was fine for about a week and now has been sick again for about 2 weeks. Sick babies are so hard. I feel so bad because there is only so much you can do for a sick baby. On top of that we are in teething mode. Jaxon went from sleeping 12 hours @ night to waking up every couple of hours screaming. My poor baby! If anyone has any advice for me on teething babies, please tell!

Yes, I was a crazy that went shopping @ 4 in the morning on black friday. I didn't go for anything in particular. It has just become a tradition with my sisters and I. We just love all the hype and excitement. We had fun and we shopped until we dropped!
