Here are a lot of random pictures from over the last week.

Jax pretending to cook. He enjoys this so much I'm debating making him a play kitchen.

Lazy Saturday with Daddy.

Yummy hot chocolate after playing in the cold snow.

Is There a Doctor in The House?

The last couple of days Jaxon is excited to see his Daddy when he comes home from work, but he has been especially excited to borrow his stethoscope. He says hello to Daddy then immediately asks for the stethoscope. He likes to check on everyone to make sure our hearts and lungs sound good. Who knows maybe he will grow up and be a doctor just like Daddy.

Snow Day!!!

We had our first really snow storm of the winter, it snowed all day Wednesday and Thursday. I hate the snow, and I'm not fond of the cold weather either, but it is more enjoyable/tolerable with Jaxon around. This kid loved the snow! It was the first time he really got to play in it and he had a blast. He was pretty sad when it was time to come in and warm up and dry off until I told him there would be hot chocolate, that cheered him up. He was so excited when he woke up and I had him to look out the window and saw it snowing, he couldn't wait to show Jagger. Jax sat at the patio door watching it until Jagger woke up and then insisted that Jagger sit next to him, not on my lap, but right next to him and watch the snow fall. He kept pointing and telling Jagger, "Shagger snow, Shagger snow!" He was a little disappointed when I told him that Jagger would not be joining us outside, that he had to take a nap instead.

Another Who Wore It Better

Jagger 3months

Jaxon 3 months

Jagger 3 months

Jaxon 7 months, crawling and pulling himself up.

For Grandma

Shortly after having Jaxon Brent's parents gave us these pants and suit coat, there were Brent's when he was little. Jax is still a little small so he will be able to wear it for a quite a while. He loves getting his hair done for church!

Jagger

Jagger is growing so much. He has started to hang out in the Bumbo a lot more lately, he likes it most of the time. He has also started to eat his hands constantly and drool like crazy. He is a great baby. He was sleeping really well like from 10pm until 7:30-8am, but the last few weeks he has started waking up multiple times in the night, so mom is a little more sleep deprived but other than that he is doing really well.

Jax

Jaxon is 22 months old and one of the funnest kids ever. (I may be a little biased) He loves to play with the simplest things like a box can entertain him for hours, but he also loves to play with the Wii and daddy's I touch. He is a great big brother and most of the time he loves to help with Jagger. He even likes to pretend to change Jag's diaper.

I got him after his nap one day and he had found his beanie while he was suppose to be sleeping. He insisted on wearing the rest of the day.

That same day he had a hard time going down for a nap so after he was quiet for a while I went to check on him and this is how I found him. It doesn't look very comfy but he slept for a long time.

He is such a sweetheart, he loves to make us all laugh, and has so much energy.

Haircuts!!!!!

Jagger got his first haircut! With Jaxon I was so eager to chop off his long stinging locks, his hair was extremely long in the back(his mullet) and in the crown and a nice natural mohawk and very short everywhere else. So I though that at 2 months Jaxon needed a different look so he got his first haircut. Well Jagger's hair came in much the same as Jaxon's only just the mullet and what we so lovingly referred to as the horn, nice and long in his crown and pretty much refused to ever lay down, so it was always sticking up. I for whatever reason was much more attached to Jagger's hair than I ever was to Jax's so I kept putting it off, until Brent kept telling how silly he looked. He may have also mentioned that if it were someone else's child I would be gladly chopping it right off so at 3 months Jag got a good trim.

A nice shot of his horn and mullet before.
And after, not the greatest haircut but much better than before.

The clippings. Almost all of them came from his horn.

I know 3 months seems young to be cutting his hair but it was naturally very long almost 3 inches in places and then barely 1/2 inch in others and to top it off he has been loosing hair where it has rubbed off for over a month making the difference in lengths even worse. Think what you want but I have to say with my experience cutting children's hair it seems the younger you start the better they do. Jax loves to get his hair cut. He was asking for a haircut the whole time I cut Jagger's and Brent's hair. He sits so still and he had his first haircut while sitting on the stool all by himself instead of his usual spot on top of the counter in the Bumbo.

Hot Chocolate and Sharing

Jaxon was introduced to hot chocolate the other day and absolutely loved it, he had it all over his face and all down the front of his shirt.

Jaxon has been very good about sharing his toys with his little brother, he was so excited to let Jagger sit and go for a ride on his new truck.

So far our New Year is going great! We are excited that some of our family has moved closer to us and look forward to seeing more of them!

Changes!

Well not because he was necessarily ready but out of necessity we moved Jaxon into a Big Boy bed. So far he is doing great! Nap time is a bit of a challenge but bedtime is getting easier every night. He cries a little bit but every morning when we go get him he is so excited to tell and show us that he slept in the big bed. I was worried that it would be a hard move for him but he did great! When we decided that we were going to do it he helped take down the crib. Then he helped put it back together in Jagger's room and he gave his crib to Jagger.

Here are a couple pictures of our time with Dad. all the boys hanging out and playing together, Jax was trying to share Jagger's new toys with Payton.

I came into the kitchen one day to find this little monkey just hanging out eating a snack. He loves bananas.

Christmas!!!

Christmas was a lot of fun this year. Jaxon still didn't really know what was going on but he loved all the new toys. I was horrible about taking pictures plus we had to be to church at 10am so sorry for the lack of pictures. This is sadly the only picture of Jagger from his first Christmas, already for church.

Jaxon had to have his picture taken after church because....

...this is what we got when we tried for one with Dad and Jag. Someone was pretty upset to have to leave his new truck.

Feeling a little better.

We were happy to spend a nice quiet Christmas together at home. Brent had been away for a month right before Christmas so it was so nice to have him back at home with us just in time for Christmas. He got the whole week off so he and Jaxon had a blast hanging out together. I think Jaxon was getting tired of all the time with just mom. The morning after Brent got home I went into Jaxon's room while Brent was getting him ready for the day. The second Jax saw me he kept saying "No, No, No" I asked him if he wanted mom to go away he quickly replied "yes, bye bye!" he then waved for me to leave. At first it hurt my feelings a little but I reminded myself that we had just spent a lot of time together and he hadn't seen his Dad in a month so I got over it pretty quick.
