Christmas in a Nutshell
Landon and I were a bunch of crazy people around Christmas and Jaxson had absolutely no idea what was happening. We drove to Livingston on Christmas Eve Eve and spent Christmas Eve morning/afternoon/early evening with Pop and Ma-Maw (Landon's Dad and Grandmother). We then drove to Fannett that night for Christmas Eve with Grammy (my Grandmother) and that side of the family. We made it back to our house that night around 9:30 with one EXHAUSTED little munchkin. After Jaxson went to bed, Santa's Helpers laid out Jaxson's presents and made it to be around 11:45.
Christmas morning we had to wake Jaxson up at 7:30 to open his presents. I thought I plugged in the camera battery to charge the night before....but I had the battery turned the wrong direction in the charger so we had to "stage" opening gifts.
Mom and Dad came over for Christmas breakfast and then we headed back to Livingston for presents with Nana and Papa.
Jaxson hit the jackpot with all of his gifts. He is one lucky little boy.
I was able to spend a full week after Christmas at home with Jaxson. It reminded me of our first days together. We slept late, took naps, ate, took more naps, and maybe took a shower by the time Landon would make it home from work.
New Years Eve
My child stayed up until MIDNIGHT....and then fell asleep one minute after. Not lying. He's a party animal.
A Day in the Life
Jaxson is a professional crawler. His Honey bought us a baby gate for the top of the stairs so that he could "safely" play in his room without turning the corner and tumbling down our stairs. Guess what Honey...we need one for the bottom of the stairs now. He thinks he needs to pull up on everything. Bright lights are just so fascinating to him. He is amazed with the little blue light on the laptop charger. The clock on the cable box is his next conquest. No surface is too hard, no toy too big to plow over. Bath time is awesome! He loves loves loves playing in the water. "Mama"! Yep EVERYBODY is Mama, even Salem. Jaxson is a big fan of food. Some days its a struggle to get him to eat his baby food at supper. He never hestitates to eat big people food though. He has already had tortillas, cheese, pork chops, bananas, and cheerios.

(His gate. This is hilarious to him!)
Helping Mommy with the laundry
Wishing he could be helping Dad and Pop with the garage project.
He was stuck inside the house with Mommy and Salem instead. Boo!
He surprised me with this one. He crawled to his car and stood up!
T-R-O-U-B-L-E. How can you resist this face?
And this is how black eyes appear......Dare devil.
He was watching TV on his couch. Contrary to the picture, he WAS having fun!
Jaxson had his 9 month check up today. He got the all clear from Dr. Derrick. No SHOTS!! Yipppeeee. He weighed 20.70 lbs and was 29" tall. It really is amazing how time has flown by. I remember the first time I brought him to Dr. Derrick for his 2 week well baby appointment. (Tears)
I am in the process of planning the big 1st birthday party. Details to follow.........
