3 months.

Wow--it has been too long since I have posted any updates. Jaxon is now 13 1/2 weeks old, officially 3 months old on July 4th. Time has just flown by these last few months and it is hard to believe I was giving birth just 3 months ago. Feels like I just came home from the hospital and at the same time it feels like we have always had Jax in our lives.
so....a few quick updates on Jaxon....he has been sleeping up in his crib since week 4 and doing great. He now only eats 4 or 5 times a day and is usually finished by 8 or 9. He sleeps for about 10 hours at night with an occasional wake up to find his paci around 4 or 5. But luckily he goes right back to sleep after that. We were on a great schedule for about 8 weeks and then went to Florida last week for the Leuenberger family reunion and have had a rough time getting back into the swing of things. But Jaxon is doing so great, I know it will just be a couple of days and he'll be back to normal. He is growing like crazy, I'm sure he's well over 15 lbs by now and we have had to move up to the size 2 diapers!!! He has started laughing alot more than usual and it is so cute. When we sing "If you're Happy and you know it..." he just laughs and laughs and its the most precious thing in the world. Just this last week he has become interested in his toys. Before then I would hold them in front of his face but he wanted nothing to do with it. Now he plays on his floor mat and bats at the animals hanging down and kicks his feet at the little bars. I'm so proud of him and his accomplishments at such a young age. In the last week Jaxon has discovered his hands. He has them in his mouth almost all day long and enjoys sucking his fingers, but I have to watch him as he will occasionally gag himself because he puts them too far into his mouth. Lets see what else has he done...oh-we had a very successful 1st plane trip to Florida, the slept like a champ and didn't bother anyone. He went on his 1st boat ride, (don't worry-they had a life jacket for his size) and he slept the whole time on the boat as well. I think the boat and the airplane were very soothing for him.
I had my first night away from Jax last night and went to an Astros game with some girlfriends. Bryan took Jaxon out for some errands and fed him a bottle. They did so good for me so I could enjoy my night away. I somewhat expected Bryan to call with questions or to ask when I was coming home, but he didn't. He did wonderfully and it allowed me to enjoy my evening.
I'll have to post some pictures later of our Florida trip but my sister in law took all the good ones and I haven't received a disk from her yet.
I think that's about it for now. I'll try to be better about posting...and I'll get some new photos up soon.
