Jax and his Jumping Jack Bouncer

Jax loves his jumping jack bouncer. We forgot that we bought it at a yard sale about a year and a half ago. We put it up in the doorway between the office and the front room. It is fun because Dad can get some work done and Jax just loves it.

 

 

 

Jax's First Time Eating Cereal

Over the past couple days Jax has been acting like he just cannot get enough formula and is crying after we feed him because he wants more. We increased his formula by a little bit and he was still so upset. Finally Shaileen and I decided to look online to determine when most babies are ready to eat rice cereal. After reading we determined that Jax was ready because he was showing all the signs of being ready. I have been hesitant to feed him because I have heard it is messy and a pain. I couldn't have been more wrong. Jax absolutely loved the rice cereal and ate it a ton better than expected. We took video posted below of him eating. He was a champ but was mad when he was done. He just wanted more. So we fed him the formula you're supposed to after rice cereal and he was dead asleep immediatly after. We could tell that is what he wanted. It is insane that he is growing up so fast. Time just needs to slow down!

 

PS. Dont judge the dirtiness in the background of the pictures and video. We were in the middle of folding laundry.

Pumpkin Carving 2013

Its that time of the year again. When I say that I mean it is time to carve pumpkins for Halloween. While I was at work today Shaileen drove to Walmart and picked up the pumpkins. She bought 4 of them. I must say that she did a pretty good job picking them out too. There was one for me, Shaileen, Jax and a family one. We had a blast. Jax was having a good time until he decided that it was time to eat and fall asleep. 

Superman Swaddle Sleep

While Shaileen was changing Jax's diaper last night he struck this pose. We thought he looked just like superman with his burp rag looking like a cape and in the superman pose. Such a little stud.

 

Since Jax was born we have put him to sleep being swaddled. We want to get him to be used to not being swaddled so we are going to take one arm out at a time and hopefully soon be able to put him to sleep not being swaddled. He has been such a great sleeper. He usually sleeps at least 8 hours but 2 nights ago he slept 11 hours. Jax just loves his sleep. He always wakes up so happy and full of smiles. I just hope that he keeps it up and sleeps good always. Wish us luck changing where he is not swaddled.
