Mowing

A couple of Saturday's ago Tim finally mowed the yard. I looked out the door and this is what I saw:
My four year old, Mason, was mowing the yard while my husband watched. Yes, he was really mowing. He has been mowing with Tim since he was about one, but this was his first attempt by himself. He did a great job. If he missed a spot he always got it when he came back around.

Three Months

Three Month Update

Date: May 8, 2011

Weight: 15 pounds 13 ounces

I can't believe how time flies. Has it been three months already since we went into the hospital and came out a couple of days later as a family of four instead of three?

I went back to work this past week. It has been really hard to leave both of my boys. I did better though than I did with Mason. At least I didn't cry all day. :) Thankfully, I was really too busy at work to think about them that often.

• Jaxon is changing so much. His cheeks have filled out so much and he has those chubby legs that only look right on babies.
• Jaxon is sticking his tongue out now if you stick yours out. His Daddy taught him that neat trick. :)
• He started drinking juice out of a sippy cup.
• He loves his bouncy seat.
• If you put a toy in his hand he will hold it himself for a long time.
• He constantly puts his hands in his mouth which makes him slobber all over everything.
• His eyelashes are getting really long and dark like his brother's and daddy's. You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones women would die to have.
• We've been putting cereal in his bottle at night so he would sleep longer but he actually is eating it with a spoon now.
• He started sitting in his walker. We still have to put a blanket in front of him so he doesn't bang his mouth on the toys though.
• He started choking a lot and we took him to the doctor b/c at daycare he choked so bad he couldn't breathe. He had an upper GI and was diagnosed with a mild case of acid reflux. He now takes Zantac.
• And the biggest accomplishment this month has been, drum roll please, he's sleeping through the night. Hallelujah! He started the week before I went back to work too. Bless this child. He knew his Mommy needed her sleep. :)
