Jaxon's 10 months!!

Wow, I can't believe how fast he is growing up.  Jaxon is into everything these days.  He can stand alone, but if he realizes he's not holding on to something he instantly sits down or reaches for something to hold. He's taken one or two steps without holding on.  I assume he'll be walking everywhere before he's 11 months.  He crawls, but does not have the speed the other two had when crawling.  He started signing 'more' over the last month, which has helped to decrease his insistent screaming, which was his first method of communicating 'want' or 'need' something.  My ears greatly appreciate his ability to sign.  He's still a super happy baby and loves to play with his brothers. He also loves to give kisses. Jaxon is loved by his brothers. Jaeden still says frequently "I want to keep Jaxon."  I always tell him Jaxon's not going anywhere. I never posted Jaxon's stats from his 9 month visit.  He was 30" still 95% for height and 20 lbs 2 oz.  He's finally slimming down some - 40% for weight.


Jaxon's first visit to the mall playground since being mobile - so much fun!!

Fun in the sun!!

The second group of bruises from Jaxon insisting that my shoulder was for teething!!  The first bruise was much worse. I'm just glad his teething has slowed a bit.

"I Like to Look for Rainbows"


Last week, we had my cousin Whitney come stay with us for 5 days.  The boys (including Joel)  had a blast.  They love having a friend to play with, and Joel loves having someone else to play video games with, since I will only play for a few minutes.  On our drive home from dropping Whitney off, my mom and I saw 2 rainbows!  It was an amazing sight, and reminded me of one of my favorite Primary songs.  It's very hard to see but the second rainbow arcs above the obvious one, and you can maybe see it in the first picture.


I guess we didn't get out the camera while Whit was here, except at Chuck E Cheese. She's in the black shirt, Zach, Jayce, Jaeden and grandma Junie are all helping to win the game.


Jaxon and I were there too!!  He loved this little car - inside and out!

When regular fighting gets to easy....

Every evening the boys love to wrestle and play-fight.  Last week they decided things were getting too easy, and they needed a challenge.  Not really, but this is how they decided to go at it...

It was pretty comical!
