He's Here!

Jaxon Colt Kelley was born Tuesday, February 8th, 2011 weighing 8 pounds 11 ounces and 21 inches long. He came into the world screaming his head off and me and his Daddy couldn't be more proud.
He has one very proud big brother. Mason has done extremely well with him. He sits and holds him for hours at a time. He has fed him his bottle, helped give him his bath and helped changed diapers and clothes. So far there has been no jealousy.






Jaxon looks just like his brothers pictures. They could be twins. It's so unreal to see Jaxon laying there and see how much he looks like Mason did.

Approaching the Arrival

Three weeks from tomorrow is when I'm supposed to have a c-section and we get to meet baby Jaxon. I am so ready. That's if he doesn't come early. I've been having contractions for a couple of weeks now but nothing consistent. I've got the infant seat in my truck thanks to Mason. He's been about to drive me crazy asking when we were going to put it in. We did that together Monday and then started packing all the bags to take with us. Mine and Jaxon's for the hospital and Mason's to stay with my parent's.

Today we put up the pack-n-play in the living room and Mason tried to convince me he needed to get in it and try it out to see if it was comfortable enough for Jaxon. We then started on the nursery and I stripped everything out of the crib and put in the washer because sadly the nursery was still set up exactly as Mason left it. :) After getting the washer started me and Mason pulled out all the packs of diapers that I've bought and organized them by the different sizes. We have 29 packs in all. I hope that will last a while. I think I pretty much have everything taken care of. Hopefully! :)

January 2011 Snow

Just some pictures to let you see this beautiful snow that we got last night. I can't believe how much we got. Mason loved it!

6 More Agonizing Weeks

We have six more weeks until Jaxon is supposed to be here. As long as he's healthy, he can't come soon enough for me. I am so miserable at this point. I'm huge and can't breathe. He's getting so big that he can't even move and when he does my whole belly moves with him. My feet swell by the end of the day and start tingling and I go to the bathroom literally fifty times a day. I go back to the doctor next Thursday. Hopefully I haven't gained too much more weight but that's pretty unlikely since we just ate all through Christmas. :)

Let it Snow!

For the first time in as long as I can remember we had a white Christmas on Sand Mountain. This was the first time that it has snowed since Mason has been born that he has not been sick and he actually got to play in it. We made a huge snowman, snow angels, and had a snow ball fight. Mason enjoyed every minute of it.

Christmas at the Falls

We took Mason to Noccalula Falls this year to see the Christmas lights. We rode the train, walked through and looked at all the lights and Mason got to decorate a cookie. Here are some pictures of our night.

Enjoy!

Christmas has come and gone.

I can't believe how fast Christmas snuck up on us and then we blinked our eyes and it was gone. It gets faster every year. We had a great time with family and friends. All Mason wanted from Santa this year was a big bulldozer.





This was Christmas Eve night at my grandparent's house.







Then we came home and sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn and fixed Santa chocolate milk and cookies which Mason had to sample. Then, it was time for bed.

Christmas morning Tim and I woke up early and had to wait for Mason to wake up. That never happens. He's always up at the crack of dawn but of course not on this day. Santa was very good to our household.

How did your Christmas go?
