Just another evening...

A little kept secret is that the boys have recently seen parts of the Nutcracker, specifically the fight btw the Mouse King and the Nutcracker.  They watched the ballet while at a friend's house (a family of only girls), well Jaeden loves "ballet" and both of them love to dance around with their swords. Fortunately, no one looking in would ever think "that looks like ballet," it looks much more like fencing. There is no grace or ballet moves, just sword fighting!!  Anyways, last night they were "balleting" (probably, not a real word) and I happened to look up from the couch and saw....



a dead Mouse King being carried off the stage. I'm still laughing at how great Jayce's dead acting was.

Jaxon's 4 months!!

Well, 4 months and 2 days.  I've never been good at being an on time blogger :) Time keeps moving faster and faster!!  Jaxon weighed in at 15 lbs 13 oz, 75% and 26 inches 85%.  He's so much bigger than his brothers. The only thing similar is that he's thinner for his height (although not by much!)

Jaeden at 4 months was 13 lbs 12 oz and 25 inches.
Jayce at 4 months was 13 lbs 15 oz and 25 inches.
As can see, Jaeden and Jayce were always about the same size for their age.  Jax is just much bigger. Jaeden and Jayce at 4 months were only a couple ounces more than Jax at 2 months!  Jax has already surpassed Jaeden's 6 month weight - 15lbs 6 oz.

Jaxon still loves to smile and play. He still rolls from his belly to back, and is close to rolling back to belly. He's always chomping on his hands, and is starting to wean off the pacifier.  None of our kids have been pacifier babies.  Jax did love his at first, but rarely uses it now.


These pics are from 12-1-09 but they show his general chunkiness, and
yes, Jackie - we are still using Davis' tub from 2001!

Happy Valentine's Day!!


Joel and I celebrate meeting 8 years ago today!  There's not much else to report at that moment. Jaxon was great at pictures - there was no posing, he just kept picking up his leg!! Jaeden has insisted all month that I'm his Valentine, and Jayce is Daddy's Valentine!!
