2 Months!

Jaxon loves playing Peek-A-Boo. He gives you the biggest smile!

I don't want to burp! I'm starving dad!

Yes this is what Jaxon looks like when it's time to burp. He gets so mad when you take his bottle away from him.

Where has the time gone? Jaxon had his 2 month check up today. He is weighing in @ 11lbs 12oz and is 23 3/4 inches long. Almost 4 more inches than when he was born. He is so long! His doctor was impressed how well he could hold his head up for his age. I guess all that tummy time and holding him outward is really paying off!

He is such a good baby. I could just sit and talk to him all day, just for him to smile at me! His new thing is trying to shove his whole fist in his mouth. It is too funny! We love him so much. He is the joy in our lives!

i LoVe BeInG a MoM!

Jaxon getting ready to go on a Safari. Ok so really we were going to the pool but he doesn't know the difference.

Jaxon has been all smiles the past couple of weeks. :)

Wow, how time flies! Being a mom is amazing! I love every minute of it! I love to watch all the new tricks Jaxon can do. From smiling to cooing and even rolling over a few times. The rolling over is not consistant. It only happens when he gets really crazy and can't be still. But it is all so exciting to me. I can't believe how fast they grow. It's crazy how they go from doing nothing when they are newborns to smiling when you talk to them and even trying really hard to talk back. He is the greatest blessing in my life and I look forward to watching him grow each day!

The Luckiest And Not So Lucky!

I am sure most moms know how hard it is to get your baby to sleep through the night. The first 2 weeks after Jaxon was born I was lucky if he would sleep 2 hours straight at night and if I could even get him to bed before 2 am. Then by 3 weeks he worked his way up to sleeping two 4 hour strethches through the night. And I was thrilled about that. Now I can say at 1 month he is sleeping anywhere from 6 to 8 hours straight. I don't know how he did it but i do know that he has been sleeping great for about a week now! I have to be the luckiest mom!:)

And on to the unlucky part. For the past week and a half Jaxon has had a hard time keeping his food down. Each time he eats he would spit up just about everything. So this meant that I had to feed him pretty much every hour just to get him somewhat satisfied. :( I have been feeling like a cow because he has to eat so much. Finally Josh and I took him to the doctors because we knew something was not right. First the doctor told us that he might have the flu. Which I thought was weird because I didn't think the flu could last for over a week. He told us to only give him 1/2 oz of pedialyte every 15 minutes for 12 hours. This was torture! Everytime we gave it to him it would all come back up. He was starving by the time the 12 hours were over and I felt so bad. So again today I took him to the doctors and he lost 4 oz and the doctor thought it would be a good idea to treat him for acid reflux. I thought this all along but at first the doctor didn't agree with me. Maybe sometimes they should just listen to the mom! The medicine should hopefully help him so he's not in pain and so he can keep some of his food down. Poor little guy!

Jaxon's First Photo Shoot!

This was Jaxon's first photo shoot. Well besides the photo shoots that I put him through everyday. A friend of mine Katie Elmer offered to take his pictures for me. She did an awesome job! She is just getting started with her photography and is already so professional. Thanks Katie! We LOVE the pictures! He did a pretty good job for only being 2 weeks old. We were able to get some of him awake, sleeping and of course screaming his little head off. I am so excited to start putting up some pictures of Jaxon around our home. We just LOVE our little man!

3 WeEkS oLd!

Jaxon just relaxing at my sisters pool. He loved it and he was so good!

Sleeping in the car. I am so happy he likes car rides.

He is one serious baby. I just love it when he scrunches his eyebrows!

I can't believe over 3 weeks have gone by since Jaxon was born. Time is going by so fast. He is already getting big to me and it makes me sad. I just love him so much and i am thankful for him everyday!

Back to Work!

So for the past 2 1/2 weeks i have been lucky to have Josh home from work. We were both able to take care of Jaxon and spend time together. It has been so nice! But today was Josh's first day back to work. :( I thought how am i going to be able to take care of Jaxon all by myself? Well I am happy to say today has been pretty good! I was even able to clean and take a shower. Woo hoo! We sure miss our daddy being home!
