Costume Fun!

Here are some pictures that my friend Katie took @ Bishops Pumpkin Patch. She always does an awesome job. And if you could only imagine trying to take pictures of 5 kids under the age of 4. Not to mention at Bishops Pumpkin Patch, when all the kids want to do is play. It's Hard Work! I just don't know how she does it. She always captures the best pictures. Thanks again Katie! You are the best!

This is my niece Emma as Snow White. She is just too cute!

This is my nephew Dylan. He makes one mean Pirate!

Here is Dylan(the pirate) with Kammy(Tinkerbell) Katie's daughter. They are best friends. They are just too cute together!

Here is Jaxon the Monkey!

We just love our little monkey.

And we finally get a smile! I guess he is just one serious monkey.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Josh when he was a baby.

Daddy and Jaxon

Happy Birthday to the best husband and daddy ever! Today we are celebrating Josh's 26th birthday. Josh, Jaxon and I are so grateful to have you in our lives. We are so grateful for all your hard work you put into your job and school to help make a better life for our family. We love when you come home from work and school and you are so happy to see us. We love your sense of humor, even though you can be a "clown fish" at times. We are grateful for your strong testimony and love for the gospel. We love your kindness and generosity. We love that you are so AWESOME! We love everything about you! You are more than we could have ever asked for. We hope you have a wonderful day! We love you so much!

Love, Catherine & Jaxon

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.

Silly Baby and Back to Work!

I finally got Jaxon on video laughing! He is such a silly baby. He loves when Josh comes home from work and plays with him. Thats when he laughs the hardest. We just love his little personality.

Last week I started work again. I only work 2 days a week and for only 5 hours at a time. It is really nice to just get out of the house and also Josh gets some daddy and baby time with Jaxon.

3 months!

Yes, I am TURTLEY AWESOME!

This is mommy and daddy's maine man!

Jaxon's new trick!

Jaxon is 3 months old today. He is so much fun! He laughs a lot. I have tried to get it on video but as soon as he sees the camera he stops and stares. I was able to get a video of him grabbing his feet. He started playing with his feet last week and does it all day. When I go to get him in the morning he will just be relaxing in his crib and playing with his feet. We just love him and we love to watch him grow!

Getting so BIG!

Why so serious?

I can't even talk yet but I already love the YANKEES!

Jaxon loves his bumbo seat!

I guess I am due for a new post. I don't have a ton to write about besides how big Jaxon is getting. He is 11 weeks old today but he seems so much older to me. He is so long and he is getting so heavy. He loves to laugh at the weird sounds that we make and the songs that we sing. He is such a smiley and happy baby! Well most of the time. Except when it's time to eat or when it's time for a nap.

Jaxon in his snuggle wrap already to go to sleep in our tent.

We went on our annual family camping trip to Santa Cruz. Jaxon's first camping trip and his last for a while. It was actually better than I thought. We all had a blast! We relaxed on the beach, sat by the fire and went to Pizza My Heart. Jaxon loved being outside. He is a total boy! I can just imagine what next years camping trip will be like when Jaxon is 1 year old. I can totally wait for that!

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!
