5 months.

Okay, so I know its been way too long since I've posted any news and I have realized that I am just not great at this blogging thing. So, I will try harder to post more often, but if not then just check my pics on my facebook. I update that way more often.

So...the lastest Jaxon news is that he is almost 5 months old. Yup, that's right, he will be 5 months on Friday and I just cannot believe its been 5 months since he was born. Babies change so much and so drastically this first year, I am amazed.
Jaxon has been experiencing so much, like, rolling over from his back to front at 4 months and just last week he rolled from his front to his back in the crib. He is eating solid foods and LOVING it. He opens his mouth and the way he tries to figure it all out is just hilarious. But he gets the food down and surprisingly does not spit much of it out at all. He started with the rice cereal and now also eats sweet potatoes and peaches. This week I am determined to make my own food, so I will be making pears and apples but I have to go to the store to buy an ice tray so that I can store it in the freezer. Then next week I'll make my own sweet potatoes and carrots. I bought this really great book that gives recipes and tips and the nutritional information on each food and why and when you should feed it to your baby. I love it!
Jaxon sleeps like a champ. From very early on he has been sleeping through the night, so I have been so lucky with that. Lately, he's been going to sleep between 8 and 9 and not waking up until 8 in the morning. The other night he even went to sleep at 7 and slept until 8 in the morning. I couldn't believe it. I am nursing only 4 times through out the day and should be dropping another one soon now that he is eating solids. We'll see how that goes.
Jaxon and I recently took a trip to California with my mom and brother to visit my mom's family out there. We got to spend some time with my aunts and uncles and of course my Grandma. She just loved Jax to death and couldn't get enough hugs and kisses. She does not remember much these days but she remembers how to love babies. It was so sweet to see her and watch her love on my son. I don't know how much longer she will be around, so it was really important for me to get some pics with her and Jax.
So, I know it is only the 1st day of September, but I have already started decorating for the fall. I love the fall and the smells that come with it. I am not a fan of potpourri, but I love the fall ones, they are full of oranges and cinnamon and pumpkins and the best smelling spices. I know its early but I just couldn't help myself, I am so ready for some cooler weather and so I went ahead and put out my pumpkins and fall candles and I LOVE it! Plus, I can't wait to get Jax in some of his fall clothes, he has some super cute ones but its just too hot for him to wear right now...hurry up cooler weather.

Here are some pics of Jaxon....Enjoy.
