The Next Bill Gates...

We learned that Jaxon loves anything "techie"...if you give him a cell phone, remote control, laptop, ipad, etc., he will be your friend forever. When we use our laptop, he somehow always ends up playing with us shortly thereafter. We found this toy laptop and used it as bait to get him to crawl. He has been "army crawling" since early December and is now able to crawl normally!

Climbing the back of the couch to pound on the window that looks outside...

Ho Ho Ho!

Jax was able to meet Santa a few days ago. We dressed him up with a little tie (I might have to save it forever, it was so cute) and vest...we even put a little gel in his hair for his big introduction. When we first arrived Santa was on a break, so we were not sure if Jaxon would be able to wait long enough for Santa. He handled the wait quite well, but when we set him on Santa's lap and walked away, it was a different story. When Jax realized he was all by himself, he became more and more upset. The picture definitely shows his distress.

7 months old and counting...

He looks like such a little boy and no longer my little baby.

FIRST HAIRCUT!

 

When people start mistaking your child for a girl, it is time to get your little boy his first haircut. As you can see it was pretty long, but it was hard to cut off those curls. He was a very good sport. Obviously it is hard to get a 7 month old to sit still, so I was a bit worried that the hairdresser would poke him in the eye. However, all went well...not that I would expect anything less from Jaxon. Dad also got his haircut that day...I wish I had a picture! I had told him that he was starting to look like "Bob Ross."

6 months old!

6 months old and ready for Seahawk Sunday!! We struggled to get through this "photo shoot," but he is cute.... sooo it all worked out in the end. ;)

On Monday he had his 6 month check up. His current stats under 27.7 inches long and 17 pounds. He is in the 90th percntile for both height and head size, with his weight in the 50th percentile. The doctor said he is doing great and developing well, hitting all of his milestones. We are having a blast watching him grow, it is fun to see him discover all these new "tricks" and develop a little personality.

Happy Halloween!

First time in his costume...apparently he wanted to
dress up as something else.

"Apple Jax"

We had to use the bottle as a tool to keep him happy during the photo shoot...he looked so cute!

Growing up fast...

Nearly 6 months old and he is already reading books. ;)

Look what I can do...

So it seems our boy is officially sitting!!! He has been "sitting" for a while now, but we finally feel comfortable leaving him there. He no longer falls over every time the wind blows. Time sure is flying by and this picture makes him look so much older!
