Happy Halloween

We started Halloween off this year with the Baker's annual party. Jaya wore an adorable tu-tu and onsie that was made by my neighbor Kim. Jaxon was suppose to be a future fisherman this year. He was that at the Baker's party but when it came to the real Halloween he wasn't having it. He wanted to wear his knight costume from last year. I didn't feel like fighting him so he was both a fisherman and a knight. What do you do?

Pumpkin Carving

So we decided to finally carve our pumpkin we got at the pumpkin patch. Joe and Jaxon set out to do it but it turned out to be a job for Joe. Jaxon wasn't that impressed. He didn't like sticking his hand in the pumpkin to remove all of the seeds. According to him it felt icky and he lost interest fairly quickly. Maybe next year...

Pumpkin Patch 2008

We made our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch with Janice, Brandon, and the kids. Jaxon picked out one for him and daddy to carve and a small one that he could carry. Jaxon had a great time running around and playing. We look forward to it again next year.

Potty Training

We had a potty training party this weekend. Jaxon and I went to Target on Thursday and loaded up on big boy underwear, salty snacks, and juice boxes for the big event. We started out that weekend by throwing out the diapers and going solely with big boy underwear. I thought this was going to be a lot easier than it was. It took over 36 hours to have one successful attempt to pee in the potty. Needless to say the quick potty training that I had envisioned was not a reality. My son is not one of the Baker boys. We will just keep plugging at it.

**Since we all know I back date I thought I would go ahead and put an update as of January 2nd. Jaxon is doing pretty well when it comes to using the potty. He finally is going both pee-pee and poop in the toilet. It took him a while to master the pooping. I finally had just given up and resorted to wearing pull ups, there was no way I could clean another pair of big boy underwear. Then one day he just got it. Now our biggest potty training issue is figuring out how to get him broken of the belief that everytime he poops in the potty means candy....

Future Rock Star

Jaxon is obsessed with rocking out. He use the pool sticks, his baseball bat, or whatever he can find to be his guitar. He loves to make up his own songs and sing them. As you will see, his lyrics are limited and he likes to "sing loud." Maybe we have a future musician on our hands. Here is a small clip of his latest work.
