Rolling All Over!

Well Friday night while John was off to see Hulk Hogan, Jax rolled over from back to belly for the first time. 15 weeks and 3 days, Jax reached this developmental milestone. I knew it was coming as he's been so squirmy on the floor lately. We were laying on a pallet in the floor, and he had turned so that he was looking at me upside down. So, he just twisted on over and propped himself up on his arms. I had been teasing him with toys to try and get him to roll. Who knew that I would be the object of attention when it finally happened! I have seen him roll 3 times since then, but so far I'm the only witness! No video yet, but you know I'm determined to perserve this memory on camera.

Jax and I had a little photo shoot. Here are my favorite shots. The rest are under his 3 month album . . . isn't he precious?? He did great, but I had a hard time keeping drool or spit bubbles out of the pictures! I found it impossible to make him smile in these! So these are showing off his serious side.




We opened our pool on the 21st, and this week we started on our deck. It is going to be so wonderful when it's finished. My Dad and John worked all day Saturday on it! Jax and I had a great time watching them from the porch. I also got some of my flowers planted around the pool. Lisa, Mark, and Zach stopped by. It was Mark's first time to see Jax. Zach and Nikko were the first to jump in the pool. John and I held out until Sunday.








Well, our pediatrician recommended that we start cereal just before Jax comes in for his 4 month checkup. So Jax had his first cereal by spoon this weekend. He did really well with it, but at times I think there was more on his bib than in his belly.

Where do I start...I LOVE the pictures of Jax in the bowl! That is such a cute idea! And Jax is starting cereal?? Please tell me he is not already old enough for that?!!? I know he is, but he is just growing up too fast! The pool looks great (Tell John I said that because I know he works hard to make it look great and takes pride in it!) I love to hear about the new things that Jax is doing! He is progressing very quickly! Before long, he will have teeth!

Moses the Pumpkin

For a school pumpkin parade project, Jax has to come up with a character from a book that he enjoys reading. Then we had to decorate the pumpkin like that character. I made a couple of suggestions (Pete the Cat, Captain Flynn and the Pirate Dinosaurs), which Jax immediately shot down. He picked a book from our bookcase about ghosts of Mississippi which I immediately shot  down. I told him that he must pick a book that he actually reads. About 30 minutes later, Jax walked into the kitchen announced his new selection: "I have picked The Bible, and I want my pumpkin to be Jesus." Well, how do you argue with that request?? However, I could not imagine how in the world we could accomplish such a thing. John and Jax took off to Walmart to look for some Jesus hair. Unfortunately, Walmart was all out of potential Jesus hair. So we asked Jax if there was another character from his Bible that he would like to use. He chose Moses. Thank goodness Jax has a creative and artistic daddy! Th...

Banana Bedhead....

I'm sure that Paul Mitchell would be very interested in this new hairstyle that Jax modeled last night. I've known for quite some time that Jax is pretty smart. Now I think that it's obvious that he will also be very fashion savvy. After eating his entire bowl of Spaghetti-o ravioli, I cut up some bananas for him to eat. By the way, we've mastered this new way of eating...2 forks!! While he's feeding himself with one, I'm getting the other fork loaded up with the next bite. He would get a little stingy and refuse (okay, throw a fit) to hand back the fork. So problem solved = 2 forks!! Anyway, he gets pretty sticky when eating bananas because they obviously don't slide on the fork too well. So he uses his fingers. Naturally, the perfect place to wipe your hands when you don't have a shirt is in your hair. Plus fruit is good for you, so it must be good for your hair. Although he didn't exactly say it, I know that he was thinking of calling this very t...

Jax's 3 1/2 year old birthday party

Image
Yes, we love half birthdays! When you have a birthday too close to Christmas, it is so fun to celebrate a half birthday in the summer. Besides that, Lisa died the day before his birthday. Not an easy time for our family. My mom did this with me too...since I was a December baby..I sometimes had half birthday celebrations instead. Jax was very specific about his requests...he wanted a Rocky party...with Rocky and the Russian fighting on top of the cake. However, there was not enough room for both. Megan Lucius made the cake! I made the cookies...Lightning Bolt cookies..."When you eat lightning..." We had a poster printed up for a game...prizes were awarded based on which person caused the water balloon to break. It started storming in the middle of the party...all the kids came in for ice cream and cake. They watched Toy Story 2.(June 13, 2010)
