6 month update

here is jaxson's 6 month update:

weight: 14lbs 2 oz

height: 26 inches (long and skinny)

eating habbits: 6 or 5 oz bottle every 3 or 4 hrs, eats cereal (barley) in the morning, and is now eating vegetables..doesn't like green beans, but likes peas, usually twice a day, in the afternoon and evening.

developments: now rolls on his tummy, babbles up a storm, grabs at his toys, likes putting his hands on your face and touching, likes to grab daddy's glasses off his face and throw them, likes to pull mommy's hair. loves to stand up, sits by himself for a minute or two. loves to be read to, and sung to. loves being rocked to sleep. likes peek a boo.

he doesn't go back to the doctor until he is 9 months, i can't believe these last 6 months have gone by so fast. he is not a baby anymore, he is turning into a little boy, and it makes me sad, but excited to see all the changes and developments he is doing. his personality is starting to come out and he is going to be one sweet little boy, but with a temper. i can't wait for him to start crawling and walking, and turning one, i am excited but scared at the sametime, and it makes me sad, cause the closer it gets to him being one, that means the closer i get to having to leave for san diego and eventually leaving for deployment and leaving behind my boys for 8 months...but i am not going to focus on that, i am going to take it one day at a time and enjoy all the time i have with him right now..i love him so much, i never realize how much one little person can have your heart in the palm of his hand. i love waking up to his smiling face every morning, he makes my day so much better when i get home from a hard day at work and i walk thru the door and he sees me and just smiles, it melts my heart. i can't believe how much i love this little guy, it's so unbelieveable being a mom, yes it is a hard at times and fruastrating, but i wouoldn't traded for anything in the world, and i can't wait to be able to have another, when the time comes and when heavenly father sees fit to bless dustin and i with another one.

let us not forget

let us not forget what happen 9 yrs ago today..always keep them in your thoughts, and to all the victims families my thoughts are prayers are with you today. to all you are serving beside my husband and i defending this country so this doesn't ever happen again..thank you!!

more new pics of jaxson

5 month update

here is jaxson 5 month update

sleeping patterns: night time anywhere between 7 to 10 hrs..naps 2 or 3 a day, anywhere from 30mins to 3 hrs

eating: 6 ozs every three hrs and he has now started eating rice cereal..it was funny when i would drink a soda he would follow it, and when i would bring the can up to his mouth he would try and eat it, and with food he would try and eat it, so i decided he was ready for rice cereal, and he is all about it you give it to him and he slurps it off of the spoon so cute..hopefully next month he will be ready for vegetables..we shall see...he is also on a different formula called neosure..his doctor recommended it and it seems to be helping with gaining weight..he is getting so fat.

new devlopments: he is rolling on his tummy now, sucking on his thumb/hand, he is trying to sit up on his own he does pretty good for a min and than falls to his side..so soon he will be sitting up..his new thing is screaming now..whether he is happy or mad he will scream. he loves books and being read to..he is working on his first tooth and likes to chew on everything and anything and drools so much, that if i don't put a bib on him is onesie will be soaked from drool. i think that's it for now.

he will go in for his 6 month next month..may time is going by so fast, it's crazy to go back and look at his pictures from when he was first born to now, he has changed so much and is starting to develop his own little personality, he is such a happy baby, i love waking up to him smiling so big at me, and loves that as soon as i come home from work and i say hi he gets all excited for me to be home.

goals

so i have been thinking lately i need to set some goals for myself and accomplish them..i have set goals before and never really accomplish them..so keeping fingers cross that i will accomplish them..

1. get jaxson to roll onto his tummy

2. lose baby weight (20lbs) + 10 to 15 extra..so roughly 35 lbs

3. be able to run a 1.5 mile in 15 mins or less by november

4. read book of mormon for at least 15 mins every day

5. read to jaxson before bed

6. have jaxson sleep in his crib at night instead of with me (not hard for him, but will be hard for me)

mmmmm..that's all that i can think of for right now..more to come..comment on what you think please

a lazy sunday

figure it's been awhile since i have updated this thing..currently jaxson is in his swing watching sponge bob..he hasn't been feeling good..i think he is getting a cold or the dust and dirt from our street being redone is bothering him..either way he has been rather cranky and clingy today. i finally got around to putting pictures in his baby book and am currently working on doing his scrap book with all the pictures that have been taken of him so far. i like doing it, it keeps me busy when jaxson is sleeping and i don't have anything else on my list to do around the house or errands to run. and i figure when he gets old he will like to look thru it, like i use to when i did have mine, wish i still did so i would have been able to show jaxson and dustin, but mistakes were made and i can't go back and change that, although many many times i wish i could. was not able to go to church today due to jaxson not feeling well, so i have to wait until my next weekend off, it's rather annoying that i will only get to go to church every other weekend until november, cause when novemeber gets here and dustin leaves for san diego i won't be working weekends so that will be nice. jaxson is now gaining weight, we switch him to smiliac neosure formula, when we had gone in for his 4 month apointment his doctor recomended it, and so far so go it's supose to help him gain weight, cause he is under the curve for weight but following it. so hopefully by the time we go in for his 6 month appointment in september he will be a good size hoping for 16 lbs but that maybe asking to much of him. he has an apointment with the high risk specialist at st.johns hospital this week, they saw him before he left the nicu when he was born, they are just wanting to see how he is developing so far. mmm..that's it for now.
