The Last Year or So......

A lot has happened over the past year. Wow I can't believe it has been a year since I blogged on this thing but I am hoping once you hear how busy I have been you will let it slide.

Jaxson is now 18 months!!! He runs, jumps, tackles random things...he is definitely ALL boy. He has got quite a few solid words but tries his hardest to talk to you. Sometimes he says a blend of things and looks at you like..."well, what do you think, mom?" It is hilarious. Jaxson is still not a great eater but one way or another, he is finally growing!!!! He has always hovered around the 7th% for weight and the 20th% for height (and of course 80th% for head--thank you dad!) At his 18 month checkup, he is now in the 25th% for weight and 54th% for height and the 84th% for head. Seriously, how can the had get much bigger!!! =) So smart! He loves to be outside, usually following dad around at his heels and "helping" with projects around the house. He absolutely LOVES to go swimming and splash water everywhere. He loves the dogs and his favorite movie is Bolt...can't blame him it is great!!! Jaxson now attends the day care in my building. He is on the 1st floor and I am on the 3rd. I still don't get to see him as often as I would like but it is nice that he is right there if he needs me. The daycare is great and he is holding his own with the bigger kids and being so sweet with the younger kids. Everyone just loves him, calling him "Action Jaxson" or "Casanova Jaxson".

Well I guess the other BIG news is that Jaxson is going to be a BIG brother!!! Brad and I are so excited!! I am currently 25 weeks along and getting bigger by the day!! We are expecting another little boy on October 14th and his name will be Kellan. We are not quite sure about the middle name. We like that he has a good strong Irish name and he sure does kick a lot when daddy talks to him. As of now he is quite a bit bigger than Jaxson was at this point!

Brad has been really busy with his job and getting a lot of new construction jobs. He is also always doing something around the house to make it a little nicer. He enclosed our back patio with some rod iron fencing to give Jaxson a little play space with his toys and no dogs knocking him over. His latest project is ripping out the carpet in the upstairs bathrooms and laying down tile. We are mid-project with that and I am sooo excited because it is gorgeous so far!!! I can't wait to see the finished product.

I have had a few changes as well over the past year. I left my job with home health physical therapy last summer and got hired by a group of orthopedic doctors out of Georgetown. We opened my own clinic in Round Rock that I am running with myself and a PTA. We are getting busier each day and it is so much fun! I love the orthopedic injury variety that we get to see as well as the spine problems. The staff here is pretty good for the most part and it is nice to see everyone working together. I truly love coming to work each day.

Well I know that this is probably the longest blog in the world but like I said...it has been a year since I last wrote on here. In summary, life is good...really good.
