Little Dog

Jaxson was a little dog for Halloween, he loves his costume! This picture was actually taken several days after Halloween but Jaxson didn't care he got to be a dog again.

We didn't really take Jaxson trick or treating (we didn't want him to have all the candy) but we did have a couple friends and their kids come over for a couple hours. Jaxson wore his costume most of the time he would shake his head back and forth so his ears would go in front of his face. It was quite funny! One of the little kids we had over is a girl who is 5 days younger than Jaxson, she kept following him around trying to give him a hug.... Jaxson apparently had enough of this when he turned and shoved her with both hands. Jaxson had to get in trouble for pushing but I honestly thought it was kind of funny. He must have been thinking "girl you're smothering me get off!" and the only way he knew to express it was turn and shove!
We tried to get him to bark but when he was asked he would smile and shake his head no. He has been talking (trying anyway) a lot lately. Janese said she heard him talking up a storm the other day when he was supposed to be taking a nap so she peaked in on him. She said he was standing up in his crib talking and pointing his finger at his animals on his sheets, when he saw Janese she asked him if he was talking to his animals, he of course denied it. I wish all the time that I knew what he was thinking.

Getting Big

It seems like Jaxson has been turning in to a big boy really fast lately. He has been running around like crazy, he loves to climb on things go up and down stairs anything and everything that he thinks a big boy should do.

Looking for a Pumpkin

We took Jaxson to look for a pumpkin today......... WOW the boy goes everywhere! We went with cousin Caleb and Grandma and Grandpa Farr. Jaxson loved it, I don't think he got the fact that he was supposed to be looking for a pumpkin to take home but none the less he loved walking around the pumpkin patch. He also loved the hay ride to and from the field. When we were waiting for an empty ride back Jaxson took off after the full wagon. I think he would have walked all the way back to the front of the place.

This is what we saw most of the time we were there..... Jaxson walking away to go play somewhere.... I don't know what he was looking for. Who knows maybe he was looking for the perfect pumpkin and was willing to do some walking for it.


Jaxson is trying to figure out what this big green thing is that is in his way.....

He's ONE!

Jaxson had a good time at his little birthday party. This is him after eating all of his cake! It took him a minute or two but once I showed him it was ok to eat he was very excited about it.

Thankfully we got to spend the day with both sets of grandparents as well as Aunt Jess and Caleb, and Uncle Andrew. Jaxson got way to many toys (yes they all make noise) but he loves them all. Janese said the other day he had them all spread around the living room so he could make the rounds and play with all of them.
He has really started to develop his personality, he loves to wrestle with me when I get home and he loves for Janese and I to chase him around the house. The funniest part about chasing him is he will run into a corner and then turn around and charge with a huge smile and a little laugh.
He has also started to obviously miss Janese or I when we are gone for a while. The other day she brought him to the church and as soon as they walked into the room he saw me and wanted me to hold him. There were a bunch of ladies trying to talk to him and play with him but he wanted nothing to do with them, he was with his daddy and that was all that mattered.

Here's some more pictures from his Birthday Party

watch this...

I didn't mean to do this but it sure was funny!

mmm.... mmm... mmm...

Well as you can see Jaxson likes to eat..... no you don't understand he really LIKES TO EAT! Janese was just in Kansas with the rest of the cousins and I think Jaxson may eat more than all of them...... maybe not Tucker but I am pretty sure he could give him a run for his money.
Jaxson has started to eat more of the same things as mommy and daddy. Just like everything else, with eating Janese and I were a little concerned about how he might like this or that but I don't think Janese has found a food that he doesn't like. Below he is eating lasagna, he really seems to like pasta with meat.... just like daddy!

Perfecting walking and more!!

Jaxson is walking...everywhere...all over the house, across the lobby at church, wherever he can get his little feet on the ground, he's walking!! It's so cute. Sometime he walks pretty fast and looks like he's going to run, but I'm pretty sure it's his way of avoiding the fall!! He hasn't had too many hard falls, mostly, he just slows down and sits, but sometimes he trips on a toy or something and stops, drops, and rolls!! :)

His favorite things right now are playing peek-a-boo, crawling or running across the room waiting for mommy and daddy to chase him, or playing in the Tupperware or utensils in the kitchen. He has many toys all over the living room floor, but those are only there when he needs a break from the kitchen "toys". Lately at nap/bedtime, he pulls the blanket over his head and just laughs, waiting for me to say, "where is Jaxson?"

Oh, his other favorite thing to do is EAT!! He eats and eats!! :) You'd think he weighed 40 lbs, but he's just barely tipping the scale at 20...on a "heavy" day. He's so extremely active he must just work it all off. He's eating mostly fruits and vegetables and once in a while some chicken and beef but it's just crazy how much the little guy can hold. His belly does pop out quite a bit, but it's more visible without a shirt on.

He's a happy little boy. Always laughing or smiling and playing. As you probably know, he loves to be outside. He's going to a new babysitter on Monday afternoon. Denise had been watching him so I could go to my meetings, but her son is starting school so she'll be working in the office. The new sitter is not far from the church and she has 2 kids a little older than Jaxson. They have a fenced in backyard with toys so Jaxson will love it. He'll get to meet some new friends and be outside with toys...what more could a little boy want. :)
