Annual Adoption Walk

On Saturday October 18th we went to Liberty Park for the Annual adoption walk. Orange is the "official" color for adoption so we all wore orange shirts. It was so nice to meet new people in the adoption community and just spend time with them. One of our favorite things they did is before the event they had people write on pieces of paper who their adoption heros are. I am sure you guessed right, we said that Mama Sarrina is our adoption hero.

 

 

 

Zoo Day

This year we decided to get season passes to the Hogle Zoo. Mostly Mom and Jax go together while she is off work but today Dad had the day off work so we decided to go together. As you can tell from the pictures we had a blast. Jax's favorite part was walking around on his own and looking at the seals under the water. He is getting so good at walking and ever since he has started that is all he wants to do. If you can't tell already, we are so proud of him.

Jax's first Easter

 

 

 

 

Happy Easter!

As you probably already know this was Jax's first Easter. He didn't really know what to think of it and had absolutely no idea what was going on. All he cared about is that family was together and we were having fun together. Mom had to be to work at 7am so we woke Jax up nice and early at about 5am so Shaileen could see him get his Easter Basket from the Easter Bunny. He did not want to wake up to begin with but quickly changed his mind and was his regular self which is as happy as can be.

 

Jax was really curious with the tobasco bottle so we let him play with it. Shaileen had the brilliant idea to see if he would like it. I said "no way it's way too hot." The funny thing is he loved the taste and didnt complain about the spiciness of it at all. Jax is one tough little dude!

 

Of course Aunt Tristen had to let Jax try some candy. :)

 

Jax had such a great time and was so tired from all of the fun we had. With how much fun we had on Easter we can't wait until Memorial Day and Independence Day now. 

Playing at home with Dad

Jax and I spend a ton of time at home alone together. We have as much fun as we can. You can tell how happy this little bugger is. I can't say it enough, I am the proudest Dad ever!

Jax's first time on a slide

On Monday afternoon Shaileen Jax and I went to a park by our house to spend some time outside. When we got there we realized that Jax had never been on a slide in the past. As you can tell from the pictures and video he loved it. The one thing he did not like was the crunchy grass. We laid him down on it and he freaked out because he did not like the feeling on his neck. As it continues to get warmer we look forward to continuing to go to parks and just being outside.

 

Jax's first haircut

 It was finally time for Jax to get his first haircut. His hair had gotten so long. We were a little scared to take him in because the first haircut is kind of a big deal. Also, we were worried that he was not going to sit well for the hair stylist. We were way wrong though. He sat really good almost the whole time and did not cry even once. The stylist told us during the haircut that he is going to look so much older when she was done. She was so right. He has turned into a little man. It is so much seeing him grow up and progress. How fast it is going is really scary though.
