Limb for Limb

This week Jaxon as really found that sticking his fingers in his mouth is comforting. It has given me a few extra minutes here and there for sleep, chores, errands........ its also interesting to see which fingers he chooses on a given day. He has also been a kicker since day one so we've been putting things around him to she what he can do. we like to think that he is doing it on purpose. He definetly gets a kick out of our reaction when he plays with the hanging rattles or the Ball.

Time Out.....I'm sleepy...

All natural.
No sugar added. No Preservatives

What A happy Camper

OUR LITTLE CAMPER

 We started when he was young and wanted his life to be full of the fun experiences that we had as children.  Mamma made the little "pocket"  sleeping bag, and he loves it to this day.  He is a good sleeper and so the fun of camping is hardly interrupted.  He loves exploring and watching Dad build fires and Mom cook.  Walks include looking at bugs and picking up leaves.

I'M EIGHT WEEKS

I'm Eight weeks old today these are some pictures from the last 2 weeks.

mom put a silly hat on my head to keep me warm since we had a few days and nights of rather cool weather. My hands and fingers at night would get cold so she also put socks on my hands! Glad you can't see how silly I look when she bundles me up for bed.

Dad set me on the chair and thought it was fun watching me get mad sna push myself around with my feet. I eventually rolled over! Wow that scared me. don't think I'll be trying that again any time soon.

Mommy Brought out all the doggies she's saved over the years. I was in Dog heaven. I guess these are going to be my friends for the next few years. There's "Tufts" & "dotty" & "Brutus"

I'm finally okay with bathtime.

Many Thanks are in order...

We wanted to say "thank you" to all who have helped us during this last year. Advice, concern, help, a friendly ear, gifts, clothing, emails, help with names, necessities, meals, un-necessities (but nice to haves), and most of all love. We think we've finally got things down and then there is always a new issue...

Well the new issue was I lost for about a week my address book with all your contact info....so needless to say your thank you cards are shortly in the mail. I had to put all else aside and hunt till I found it otherwise it was gonna drive me bonkers! Oh and I found a cow that I thought I had lost. (Thanks Mike for looking for it at 8:00 at night.)

He's officially grown out of all the NB clothes...onto the next phase. It's really exciting and sad at the same time. Exciting that he is growing and progressing in many ways and sad that my little boy is growing so fast. I think I'm in denial. I'd hughim hoping that would keep him from growing......umm that doesn't work.

Bathtime

We are finally getting into a betime routine that includes a BATH! Little dude is calmer when the faucet is running, rather than being dunked into the sink. He's okay with getting his hair and head washed but the neck is still a struggle. After bath then he gets naked time , dressed, and winds down with dad.
