Cross Dressing Jax

Jaxon was so excited when Aunt Janice gave birth to Ethan. He really felt that there needed to be more boy cousins. The girls greatly out number the boys. It seems that when he gets together with the girls they just want to dress him up and carry him around. What do ya do?

Possible Future For Jaxon?

We were over at the Acosta's house and Jaxon could not get enough of Rock Band. His only disappointment was that it didn't have Wiggles songs. He loved playing with Ensley and Brendon but not so much with his daddy. He went up and told Papa Al that daddy wasn't sharing.

More Words of Jaxon

So once again Joe has taken to teaching Jaxon what Joe considers the finer things in life. I picked Jaxon up from day care on Friday and Camie told me that Jaxon was riding the little bike and when he got off he says, "it's hot, I need a beer." He then turns to his buddy Charlie and says, "Charlie do you need a beer?" Do you think he has seen daddy come home from his rides and drink to many beers? At least he was wanting to share though, right?

She's a Big One....

Jaya's 2nd Month Check Up Stats:

Weight: 13 lbs, 1 oz (95th percentile)

Length: 24 inches (95th percentile)

She is doing great. She loves to lay under her activity gym and play. Yesterday she got so excited playing she actually yelled out in delight. She also likes swinging in her swing. While in there she is mesmerized by the mobile and the rain forest sounds. She will bust a smile once in a while and is starting to coo a little bit. She will roll over onto her side and acts like she wants to go all the way over but is yet to do so.

Jax's Words of Wisdom

So I have another funny thing that Jaxon says. Jaxon still refuses to use a potty. He will stand there and go poop and then as soon as he is done he says, "get that big turd out and put it in the potty." He thinks he can just dump it in after the diaper and he is all good. Crazy kid. Oh and by the way, we can thank daddy for getting him to call poop turds. Nice....

Is Jaxon Regressing?

They say that when you have a second child the first sometimes will regress and revert to behaviors associated with the younger child. Jaxon has adjusted really well and hasn't seemed to have any issues other than he likes to use Jaya's stuff. He plays in her activity gym, sits in her car seat, wants in the crib with her...but we draw the line at the swing. He keeps asking and doesn't seem to understand that he is entirely to big.

Baseball Anyone?

I just had to post this picture of Joe and Jax playing ball, with Joe's objections. Jaxon has this thing were he wears his baseball cap and he makes Joe wear the army helmet. Joe looks pretty funny doing it but as usual he is a great dad who likes to make his son happy.

Jaya's 1 Month Check Up

Today Jaya went and saw doctor Sykes for her one month check up. When Jaxon was her age he didn't gain weight very fast so I have really been giving it to Jaya to make sure she is gaining enough. I think she has proven that she is like her mother and can easily put on the pounds. When we came home from the hospital Jaya weighed in at 7 pounds and 6 ounces. Exactly one month later she was pushing 10 pounds and 14 ounces. I will say that she also grew 3 inches. This puts her in the 90th percentile for both weight and height. To show the comparison to Jaxon, he was only 9 pounds and 10 ounces at his 1 month.

Pismo Beach 2008

After Joe and Jax returned home from Twin Lakes we packed up and headed to the beach the next day. What was suppose to be a 7 day trip, turned into an 11 day one. We just couldn't bear to come home. The weather was great and the kids were sleeping fabulously. Jaya started sleeping 6 to 7 hour stretches at night. I think it was the cool, clean air and the soothing sound of the ocean. Jaxon slept just as well. He would sleep into until almost 9:00. We got spoiled. On top of relaxing we had a great time hanging out at the beach, feeding the animals at the Avila Fruit Barn, eating good food, and hanging out with family.

Jaxon feeding the animals at the Avila Fruit Barn. At first he was a little nervous but he warmed up. He didn't even get upset when the goat nibbled on his finger.

Joe and Jaxon playing in the water. Jaxon loved going in the water so long as his daddy was with him.
Boy would he get sandy. He loved to roll around in it and everything. I guess when you are that age you don't mind as much.
Jaxon loved playing the video games with Karsyn at Klondikes. Karsyn is the best Jaxon entertainer. Joe was so excited that she preoccupied him and he got some time off.
Jaxon had a great time with Karsyn at the beach. They played in the waves and Karsyn was even kind enough to let Jaxon attempt to bury her in the sand.

The nice thing about vacationing with Aunt Nancy is that she is always willing to hold Jaya. When we would go to dinner or anywhere she is the first to volunteer to hold her. She thinks if she makes one little sound that she needs out of the stroller.
When we would be out and about Jaya spent most of her time in the sling. I thought she looked really uncomfortable but as soon as she got in the sling she would always go to sleep. She must have have liked it.

Twin Lakes 2008

Joe and Jax headed up to Twin Lakes for the annual Sweet family trip camping trip. Unfortunately since Jaya was so young, her and I did not make it this year but look forward to next year. Despite our absence, Joe and Jax had a great time. Jaxon was excited for like 2 weeks before, especially about fishing, riding in a boat (which Joe said he usually fell asleep on) and sleeping in a tent. I sent the camera with Joe but he didn't take to many pictures so I am going to have to get some from Nana Nancy later. What he did take showed mommy how dirty Jaxon always was. It is probably a good thing that Mommy didn't go. I would have went through a million baby wipes. What a waste. All in all they had a great time and Jaxon is loving camping more and more.
