Keeping Busy

So I have been keeping busy with some fun projects the last couple of weeks. First I have been in search of a dresser for Jaxon's room, we needed a little more storage space once the baby comes. I finally found one that was just what I wanted, just needed a little paint. I forgot to take a picture until after I had already started working so that is why the top drawer is missing.

After

I also wanted a fun away to keep track of our kids heights as they grow. I found some fun ideas online and this is what I came up with.

Now that I have these projects done I need to think of some more to keep me busy this summer.

I Can't Get Enough

I just can't get enough of this little guy, he is so much fun! He is a couple days shy of 14 months. I love that I get to stay at home and watch him grow and learn, he is such a smart little boy. I figured that I would put a few things that Jaxon is doing these days (mostly so I can remember). *Walking and running very well (has been for the past month or so)

*Can sign more and please

*Loves to play outside in the yard or at the park

*Loves dogs, obviously he loves Payton, but he loves all dogs whether they are outside while we are walking, in cars at the store, or on TV he will stop what he is doing and point and say "doggy"

*Feeds himself using spoons and forks (sometimes he needs a little help)

*When we tell him its time to brush his teeth he sticks his tongue out and licks his lips and teeth while walking to the bathroom and waits for us to open the door

*When it is nap time I can tell him to find his blanket and Binky and go to his room for a nap and he will do it. Sometimes he does this before I even tell him if he is really tired

*There is one cupboard in the kitchen that doesn't have a lock on it so he likes to use this as storage for his toys, blankets, Binkys, sippy cups, pretty much anything he thinks needs to be put away.

*After meals he likes to let Payton lick his plate/bowl clean

*After Payton is done cleaning his plate/bowl Jaxon will carry it into the kitchen and I will lift him up so he can put it in the sink

*Loves playing with his cars, trucks, blocks and balls

*He can now throw balls and Payton's toys

*Loves to watch Dad mow the lawn, he stands on the couch or at the patio door and waves to his Daddy

*He gives high fives

*He has 11 teeth and another one on its way any day now

*He folds his arms for prayers

18 1/2 Weeks!!!

I can hardly believe that I am almost half way there, this pregnancy has been flying by. I definitely feel like I'm getting bigger sooner this time around. I spent all of February and March sick all day, everyday I really thought it would never end but it did and now I feel great. I'm starting to get my energy back so I don't feel like I have to take a nap everyday which is nice so that I can get some stuff done while Jax is napping. I'm getting really excited because we find out in 2 weeks what we are having. Brent and I are both thinking it's a girl, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Happy Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day this year. It was a fun day of relaxing with my boys, I'm one very lucky lady.

Brent had to speak in church, he did a great job. While he was up on the stand giving his talk Jaxon sat on my lap and watched, waved and said hi to his Daddy. At one point during his talk Jaxon got down and was peeking around the bench at his Daddy and slowly attempted to make his way up to the stand. I was able to stop him pretty quick and then he continued to sit quietly on my lap saying Daddy, Daddy, over and over as he pointed and waved to Brent. It was very cute to watch him watching Brent.
