Wee Wilson Tales

SHAKE . . . Jax thinks it's hilarious when I shake my head. He's just recently learned to shake his head (it's more of a sway from side to side) when he wants me to do it. RATTLE . . . Sometimes Jax is really good at "rattling" the photographer! In the first video, he almost fell right into me & the camera. In the second video, he interrupted production when he decided that the camera was a better toy than the one in his hand. I just got my camera fixed, and I do not plan on it needing another repair any time soon! and ROLL . . . He is really on a roll with this walking thing now. He used to just walk to us when we held out our arms. Now, he's walking even when we turn our backs. FIRST BLOOD . . . Our little "Rambo" busted his lip on Saturday (10/20/07)! He walked to our ottoman and fell right onto the corner of it. Mommy was panic stricken at seeing all the blood!!! But I do think I held it together pretty well. Anyway, here are a few videos of ...

Sound asleep with a belly full of milk !!!!!!!! We got to see Elle again this weekend . . . Jax is really helpful around the house these days . . . I'm sure he calls himself cleaning . . . maybe there were too many boxers in that drawer anyway!! This weekend we went to Karen and Brandon's for a cookout. Jax loved the barbeque!! Jax went all decked out in his Ole Miss track suit. We didn't keep it on him very long though . . . it was way too hot . . . and everyone was way too disgusted with the end of the game. We had a great time at the cookout though. We had gone to GrandMyron's to watch the Hollifield fight. None of us knew it would be so late coming on!! And in the end, everyone was snoozing except John! Including Jax, who fell asleep in his daddy's lap (first picture).

Jax had his 9 month check up on Tuesday! He did great! It was almost a fun doctor's visit because he didn't need any vaccines. Unfortunately, Mommy made him get the flu shot. His new stats: Weight : 19 lbs 6.5 oz 25-50% Height : 28 " 25-50% HC : 46.5 " 75% 9 Month Skills: Drinking from a sippy cup (water & formula) Eating with his hands Eating what mommy and daddy eat (with the exception of a few high-risk allergy foods) Walking or running (as some of you have pointed out) Saying Mama, Dada, Bye-Bye, Hey Waving (but not when we want him to) Playing Pat-a-Cake (which we say as Patty cake!?) Clapping Singing in church with us Still likes the walker, jumperoo, and pack-n-play Sleeping 10 to 12 hours a night Can't sleep without his cuddle buddy "Peep" still just 6 teeth Loves watching our animals play Here are a few of his 9 Month Pictures. The rest can be seen by clicking here . I really liked this place. I paid less here than I did for his 3 month pic...

Susan threw a Rock of Love party for Chrissi at our Bunco night! So much fun with these girls.

Although Jax was ready for his first ride on the horsey, the horse was a little busy with customers. So, his grandparents did the next best thing . . . they let him ride the saddle.

Saturday we went to Chucky Cheese's for Eli's birthday party. He turned 3! Jax drove the car a couple of times! Happy Birthday Eli! Sunday, Elle came to our house to visit! Monday we had a great time just hanging out at the house. Jax is really working on perfecting his walking skills!!! I spent the day doing more baby-proofing. I moved my baker's rack and all glass stuff out of the dining room. That was just a bad accident waiting to happen. I also got the bad cabinets child-proofed and our patio door too. Tuesday, Jax went for his 9 month check-up! We also went to Portrait Innovations and had his 9 month pictures done. They turned out great!! (THANKS APRIL FOR THE RECOMMENDATION) I left the CD with all the pictures at home though. I will hopefully be able to post them tomorrow along with his stats!

A few walking videos: Jax ate grilled cheese for the first time. This was last night's dinner. Can you tell that he liked it??

Jax will be getting on a horse . . . yes, a real horse . . . on Thursday. So, I thought it would be a good idea for him to get a little practice . . . Grandaddy is helping Jax with his first ride on "Bucky." My very smart boy is listening to Grandaddy . . . making sure he's doing it just right! Yep, I think I got it!!! Jax had his first "play bath" this weekend. His cousin Alexa entertained him with the rubber ducky collection. The bath chair has been a lifesaver for me! This squirmy worm is way too slippery to hold on to when he's trying to crawl and stand up in the tub. I love this thing!! Here is Jax with Charlie and Mugsy. And not to leave anyone out . . . Knuckles picture is below! Jax loves his sippy cup! He drinks ice water all the time. Funny thing, I figured out that he will happily drink his formula out of the cup too . . . but it has to be cold as well. :)
