2 Months Old!!!

Wow...we are getting so grown up! Jaxson turned 2 months old today. Unfortunately the dreaded immunization shots were today. Jaxson is growing right on schedule (such a big boy!)

He weighs 10 lbs 3 ounces and he is 21 1/2 inches long. He has tacked on about 3 lbs and 2 inches since his 2 week old measurements. He is in the 25 percentile for weight and 10 percentile for height. And his head is in the 50th percentile!!! He is sooo smart!! Jaxson has been holding his head up for some time and smiling and beginning to coo at us. He stands up with some assist and he absolutely LOVES to play airplane. He enjoys daily walks with mom and of course patty cake with his legs. He is getting a little more chubby in the cheeks and I think there is even a second chin emerging. He is such a sweet baby but definitely cries when he is hungry.


Jaxson tolerated the shots fairly well but it was tough on mom. Not so much the crying but the look of horror and pain on his face when she stuck his leg about ripped my heart out. He cried for a little bit and has been a little extra fussy, other than that he is a trooper. He completely zonked out when we got home.

And this is my official 2 month old picture!!! I am getting to be a big boy (10 lbs, 3 ounces!!)

Valentine's Day 2009

Okay, before everyone freaks out...this is paint. Mommy and Jaxson were getting creative and made Daddy a Valentine's Card. We just got a little messy with the paint in the half second that mom looked away! Look below to see how good Jaxson did.

Jaxson's first gift to us!

Our little boy gave a beautiful gift this past Saturday, February 7th. For the first time ever...Jaxson gave us his first purposeful smile. What a joy it was to see his little lips turn upward and his face light up. And of course we know that it was his first REAL smile because there was no gas associated. =) Brad got the smile too so that really made his day. Brad was holding him and cooing and sure enough, Jaxson's face lit up! It was awesome and so endearing.
