7 Days of Jaxson {Day Seven...a day late}

Jaxson loves everything and anything that has to do with a ball.  He has his own golf balls, racket balls, baseball, soccer ball, volleyball, and basketball! He owns a soft football that his cousin gave him...I am sure we will get a real one soon! He has a vacuum with little balls that pop, a ride-on tracker thingy that picks up rocks that he calls balls, a shape sorter in the shape of a ball, and a ball shooter that he can shoot balls out of. "Ba" has become on of his favorite words!  Yesterday, he HAD to take the soccer ball and the basketball to a friend's house and he HAD to carry both of them while in his car seat in the car! The basketball is his favorite one this week.

On another note...I title this one "Crazy hair, don't care!"  It MAY be time for a haircut!

7 Days of Jaxson {Day Six}

Jaxson loves to dance! He also enjoys music videos. YouTube was one of the ways we were able to calm him during his breathing treatments. He will take your finger and lead you to the nebulizer (aka Medicine Bear...it is in the shape of a panda) just so he can watch his favorite videos!

He has his own playlist on Momma and Dada's YouTube accounts!  The songs on the list include, but are not limited to, Big Block Sing Songs like Monkey, Fruit, and Moose. He really also enjoys Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars, Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, and All About That Bass!  He loves a catchy tune like Hot Diggity Dog from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and the theme song to Small Potatoes! 

Look out if he spots your phone! He will expect you to know all of his favorites!

7 Days of Jaxson {Day Five}

"He looks soooo different." ~Jaxson's Dada

This is why you must document your children with a camera!  It does not matter if it is a cell phone or a fancy, expensive camera...freeze time with "film" as often as you can! 

(This makes me think of all those little videos I need to compile! Maybe this summer!)

The first picture here was taken exactly one year ago today. The second one was taken today...after a bribe with a squeeze pouch of fruits and veggies (notice the orange lid he still has), wrestling him to stay seated instead of standing to look out the window, etc. You have to love all that energy! I wish I could have some!

And then this one is him sliding down to get out of the situation quickly! Silly boy!
The outtakes are always my favorite!

7 Days of Jaxson {Day Four}

One of Jaxson's favorite outings is to our local grocery store.  They recently started to allow one free snack-sized fruit to be eaten by children during their shopping visit. Check out the Kids Club promotion here: http://www.unitedsupermarkets.com/kidsclub

BUT this is not a new treat for Jaxson!  We have always done this. I would just tell the cashier when we got there to pay out and they would weigh what was left of an apple or the banana peel.  Ooopsss...sorry! They were always so understanding and kind to our baby boy.  Who cares anyway...a banana costs like 17 cents!

Our stroll today consisted of him showing his apple to everyone that would listen how "gud, gud, gud" it was!  He wanted to play with the "ball" that I found in the cantaloup bin! All the older men just LOVE Jaxson for some reason! They always call him a "strapping young lad!" He was also very interested in the avocados today!

For my photog followers: these are cell phone pictures! lol

Irish. Happy St. Patrick's Day! More later...remember the pictures of this handsome boy and his furbrother from last year? We attempted to recreate those! Stay tuned! 

7 Days of Jaxson {Day Two}

In the wee hours of late night and early morning, we are still battling the effects of RSV. Today is day 14 of this horrible virus. This weekend brought on a few new effects...we will not go into specifics for the weak at heart (or stomach) but just know...we have done a ton of laundry!

He tries to love life during the day and play his little heart out, but the dark hours really get him. I think it may be the horizontal life in a crib.  Poor little tummy...

The first two images here are J and Dada during sheet and clothing changes for J and Momma...

7 Days of Jaxson {Day One}

I decided I needed a little photography project during Spring Break.  I will post a picture (or two) every day for the next seven days!  Of course, I chose my favorite subject!  Jaxson LOVES to take baths. This is where he has learned the sound a monkey and a tiger make...he enjoys Mom's finger puppet shows and loves to splash Winston if he comes in to lick water of the side of the tub.

I title this one, "Mom...what are you doing standing on the potty?" hehehehe
