First Baby Food!

On Saturday morning, we gave Jax his first baby food. Green Beans! We had the camera ready to get his funny faces, but he loved it! I added it to his rice cereal, and he really did great with it. Here are some of the shots John captured:







Saturday afternoon we went to Spring Fest in Batesville. I ate some wonderful Chicken-on-a-stick and some green apple cotton candy. I went to eat crawfish, but didn't want to fool with dirty hands and the baby after I got there! When we left Springfest, we stopped by to visit John's dad and Rammie. Jax got a new pair of shoes and some socks from his GrandMyron!

Jax had fun playing with this ball that his daddy got after doing a basketball toss game.

We also had Homecoming at our church Sunday. I love Homecoming because all of the people that I miss come back. I look forward to it every year. It was so great to see Craig, Loretta, and Aime! Aime, who I used to babysit, is graduating this year! It's hard to believe! We were laughing and talking about the time she ran away to our house when she was 3 years old! We had a softball game after our devotional! It was nice to finally see our field used again. Now, we just need to get the concession stand into working order, and gym to being used again!!

I am very happy to say that we've successfully switched from Enfamil Gentlease formula to Enfamil AR Lipil formula. Gentlease was definitely a lifesaver in the gas department since Jax did not do well at all on the regular Enfamil Lipil formula. Also, Jax was unable to tolerate any of the generic versions of Gentlease. So, I was really scared to try anything else. But, it just seemed like his spitup issue was getting NO better. He would soak 2 or 3 outfits a day, and sometimes 5 or 6 bibs too!! We started it Saturday night, and he made it through his first Sunday at church without spitting up on someone! He hasn't been fussy or gassy at all from the switch. So I am very happy!

Looks like you guys had a busy and fun weekend! Jax looks like he is enjoying his food! I will keep my eyes out for coupons for the Enfamil formula so I can send them to you. You need to post new pictures of the deck that you guys built too so we can all see the finished product.

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...

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...

A "Funner" Gunnar

So with each passing week Gunnar is sweeter and more fun! I love this newborn stage soooo much. He is now cooing and smiling and responding to us and his brothers...we love it. It just melts my heart when he smiles! Jax says all the time "We love our sweet Dunnar, do we momma?" Ronin used to mock my baby talk with a lot of little jibber-jabber, but now he says "Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby" every time he comes up to Gunnar. I am still breastfeeding. He sometimes gets a bottle of formula during the day if he needs it. But, I am pumping at work so he doesn't always need it. He is a really good baby! His 2-month checkup was Friday, and he was doing great! Weighs almost 11 lbs now. He went with me and Karen to my post-partum checkup and her 35 week checkup. Then we went for pedicures and ate lunch at O'Charley's. He was great, and I had a fun day with my sis! Here are some catch up pictures: (Get ready for picture overload) He was so upset (and hungry) t...
