Jaxson baby...or big boy?

Our little Jaxson is getting so big now! He is almost 11 months old now.
He is such a grown up little boy, eating table food and starting to walk. He loves baths and playing with the dog! Here are some fun pictures of him lately...


Eating his cantaloupe and tomato! He LOVES cantaloupe, but he gets so messy and goes straight to another favorite activity...BATH


Playing in the running water, his favorite part...

A Cup! His favorite bath toy


He already knows where the door handles are...in this picture I had gone in that room to talk on the phone and he wanted me!!


Playing by the front door, one of his favorite places to play!


His first black eye! Wasn't quite balanced and he hit the table! This picture is blurry, but you can see how big the bump was on his right eye!

Here he is about an hour later in the tub...the swelling has gone down a lot!

Jaxson goes to Branson...

Jaxson spent a weekend in Branson with my mom and her side of the family for the annual DJSKK reunion (pronounced DeJeskee, it stands for all the daughters in the group Debbie, Jana, Sandi, Kathy and Kim)

My Dad had to stay behind due to an unexpected death at his work so he had to fill in, but my mom and my brother took Jaxson along...here are some photos that she brought me.

Of course, Mommy and Daddy enjoyed some nice quiet time while Jaxson was gone. I spent some time with my Dad and got to sleep in on Sunday. I missed Jaxson a lot, but got to get some housework done and really relax!

Weekend #2

This was our 2nd weekend away from Jaxson! My office is celebrating 25 years since the current owners took over and so we headed on a company trip to Vegas!! We were only home for 3 days from our last weekend before we headed out on a plane on Thursday. This time we left Jaxson with my mom, who is also his daycare provider so he is really at home there.
This was Ryan and I's first trip to Vegas so we did a lot of the tourist attractions, but we had a good time. It was really pretty busy and so it was hard to think about Jaxson all the time, but by the flight home, I was really ready to see him!

My parents met us at the airport so I could see Jaxson and have lunch with them because I didn't even get to go home. I sent Ryan back with Jaxson and my parents and I stayed in Wichita for a 3 day insurance class and test. After seeing Jaxson for about two hours and then having to be in this hotel room by myself...I AM REALLY MISSING HIM!!! I take my test at 8 am on Wednesday morning and as soon as I am done I get to go home and I don' t have to go back to the office so I will go pick him up for some Mommy time for a few hours. YAY!!
Jaxson did get to dance with the waitress at Texas Roadhouse! He is such a flirt, but he really had fun!




Next weekend we get to be at home with him for a "hopefully" normal weekend before my parents take him the following weekend to our annual family reunion. It's in Branson this year and of course, most of the family has never even seen Jaxson and some of them only once so he needs to go, but Ryan and I have taken off so much time lately and I am training 2 new people at work, plus preparing for a new position myself so it isn't possible for us to go too! I am just glad they are willing to take him so that no one misses out.

Here are some of our Vegas pics!

Downtown Vegas at the Fremont Experience. We stayed downtown at the Golden Nugget and what you are looking at is the largest screen in the world. It spans several blocks of downtown and has nightly light shows above the blocked of street just for partying, gambling and all the street vendors.

This is the pool at our hotel that has a shark and fish aquarium right in the middle of it. You can see the 3 story slide that goes right though the middle, although you can't see the sharks while you are on the slide because it goes way too fast!!

The fountains at the Bellagio! Those things shoot up as high as the buildings!

This is the lion at MGM Grand, but if you look in the background you can see the rollercoaster we rode at New York, New York. I wanted to ride the rides on top of the Stratosphere but we got tired and ran out of time!

Ready to get home and enjoy weekend #3 and Jaxson's 10 month old birthday on Monday...Gosh, I've got to get started planning his birthday party!! AHHH!
