thanksgiving and a tooth

thanksgiving was good, we went to san diego this year and spent it with dustin's mom and partner tanya. we went to tanya's grandparents house for thanksgiving, i enjoyed it, but did miss my family. jaxson did good with being around all the people, although he didn't experpience much cause he slept thru dinner. he took his first real bath in grandma lela's bathtub, cause he can sit up on his own now, he enjoyed splashing around in the tub. and he also got his first tooth this weekend, so now he is alot happier now that the tooth has poked thru..i will post pictures when i get a chance.

starting to realize...

i just started noticing that i am turning into my mom...am i shocked?? honestly no, i know most people would cringe at the idea of becoming their mom, but me i relish the idea of becoming so much like my mom...why you might ask..because my mom is plain and simple the best mom ever. she is such a good role model for me and my sisters, and my nieces ect... i am so glad i have such a great mom who taught me so much, and i hope that i can be as good of a mom to jaxson as she was to me.

8 months

technically he will be 8 months on monday, but it's close enough..so here are his stats

weight: i am guess around 18 to 20lbs don't have a scale and he doesn't go back to the doctor until next month, and same with height.

eating: he still has 6 oz bottles and is eating food 3x a day, oatmeal in the morning and a fruit for lunch and veggie for dinner, he is know eating stage 2 food, likes the mixed veggies and garden veggies, still loves sweet potatoes and carrots..he enjoy's his fruit, he tried a piece of orange the other day and made the funniest faces and enjoyed eating it and got upset when i took it away.

sleeping: takes 2 to 3 naps during the day, has one long one 2 to 3 hrs, and two short ones, 20 mins to an hour. sleeps better at night, sleeps about 6 to 7 hours, usually wakes up around 3 am to have a bottle and falls back to sleep for another 3 or 4 hours.

developments: he is now sitting up on his own, he hasn't started crawling yet, he wants to and gets upset cause he hasn't figured it out yet, so now when he wants to explore or go somewhere he just rolls, which is pretty cute to watch, he has started to make letter sounds like aaaa, baaa, mmmm, he doesn't do ddddd yet. he loves the tv, this afternoon he was sitting on my lap and i had dora the explorer on, and when a part came on that he liked he smiled and got so excited, and whenever something came on that he liked he would smile so big. he likes music and will "dance" he still loves to scream, he loves to be tickled and giggles, and he loves getting raspberries blown on his tummy. he still loves his snuggle time with mommy and daddy. he is working on his bottom two teeth, so he has been a little extra cranky. we finally got him a big boy car seat because he out grew his infant car seat.

i can't believe he is 8 months already, i know i say that every time i post something about him. but time is just flying by was to fast, i wish i could just stop it sometimes.

the many reasons i love this boy

oh there are so many reasons i love this boy but here are some:

i love when i wake up in the morning he is always so happy, and sometimes lets me go back to sleep and when he is ready to get up starts to kick me

i love that when i come home from work and walk thru the door he is always so excited to see me, and has plenty of "kisses" to give me

i love how when he gets tired rubs his eyes and starts to snuggle up with his blankets

i love how he is still so snuggly and loves being held and rocked with me

i love that when i hold him reaches up and puts his hands on my face

i love to hear him giggle its the best sound in the world.

i love to hear him babble away and see him try to "fly" swinging his arms and legs around.

i love knowing that he choose me as his mom, and what a sweet spirit he is, and that he bring so much joy and happiness to my life.

i could go on and on and on, my heart is so full.
