Wee Wilson Tales

Is to get Santa . . . Sweet Ole Santa . . . With my two front teeth, of course! Jax has this special Santa ornament at my parents house on the tree. As soon as we get there, he goes right over to the tree and chomps down on Santa. Nothing personal of course, everything goes in his mouth these days! And lucky Santa gets to ride around the house on the walker too! Jax got a new carset about a month ago. It actually came in on Halloween! It is the Boulevard by Britax and we LOVE it! I would never by a seat without a latch system! John and I took Jax to get fitted for some walking shoes on Saturday. We took him to Jackson's Shoes in Collierville . Believe it or not, this is where my mom took me and my sister for shoes when we were little. He is so cute in them. He has started trying to stomp on everything. The first time we saw him do this, we were like what is he doing?? He stomps on his toys, his socks, anything in the floor! And can I tell you what a big boy I have . . . he...

We had a great Thanksgiving! We went and spent the night with John's sister on Wednesday night in Grenada. We had a great lunch with them on Thursday at Corrie's. It was a lot of fun getting to see everyone. Of course we pigged out on all of the great food too! Jax wanted to sit with his Grammy and cousin Elle! He thought it was really funny to watch her! He was amazed by baby Elle! This time he was really gentle with her! Much better than last time when he scratched her! Eli John, Alexa, Grand-Myron Ninny, Mastafa Gran-Gran Then we went to my parents house for dinner. We ate more great food (that my mom prepared all by herself!) and looked at the sale papers to plan our route for the annual shopping trip! It's a tradition with my mom and sister for us to get up at the crack of dawn and hit all the sales. We shop all day, and really get lots done! We have so much fun being silly, and spending the day together! We all took family pictures . . . but it took most of us a ...

Jax is now 10 months old!!!!!!! Where has the time gone??? Before I know it, he'll be a year old. I haven't blogged about him in a while b/c so much has been going on . . . but I have to brag on his Daddy! I was out of town for a week at a conference in the exciting Philadelphia, MS!!! Ha! We had our annual MCA conference at the casino there. Anyway, John did a great job taking care of Jax while I was gone! I missed them like crazy, of course - except while getting my first massage. Let's just say it won't be my last! Jax is a walking machine now. He walks all across the house! His falls have gotten much better . . . but also worse. I know that doesn't make much sense, but he's much more steady now. So there are less falls due to balance issues. However, he'll get the phone, remote, bottle in his hand and get distracted and fall. With his hands full of toys, it makes for a worse fall because he won't let go of them to break his fall! He still uses his wa...

This has been saved on here as a draft since October 5th! I don't know why it's taken me so long to post it! Anyway, this is about my Granny who I miss so much! I am so grateful for all the time I got to spend with her. She lived with me and John for 6 months, and we had the BEST time with her! I still get tickled thinking about her watching Friday the 13th and Monday night wrestling with John. And she would peep around the corner of the hall to look and see if we had company before she'd come and sit down with us to watch tv. She was really something special, and I guess I will always miss her. A year ago yesterday, my Granny passed away. I can't believe it has been that long. I miss her and really wish should could have been here to see Jax. This is Granny's story . . . well some of it anyway. I wrote this to be read at her funeral. It is, of course, just a brief glimpse at who she was. At a young age, she was courted by Robert Sinquefield, and they married when s...

My Aunt Lisa (whom I never call Aunt, she's just plain Lisa to me) is having surgery on Friday. I am asking that everyone who reads this blog, please take the time to say a special prayer on her behalf. She will be having a biopsy because they have found 2 masses (I think they are between her heart and lungs). This has been going on for a couple of weeks now, as the first biopsy was inconclusive. I can't imagine how stressed she must be and ready to get this over with! The physician she has chosen is very reputable, so I have lots of faith in him! I certainly know that there is power in prayer, so please take a second and pray for her. She's gonna kill me for posting these pics, especially since they don't show how skinny and cute she is now....but they are the only ones that I have on my computer here at work!!! Sorry Lisa, I love you !!!! And, she is an avid reader of her great nephew's blog . . . so if you want to leave a comment at the bottom of this post and l...

Jax didn't go trick-or-treating this year. He did get dressed up though. His Sasa and Grandaddy brought him some treats instead! He got a Noah's Ark book, some Gerber cereal puffs, and some PediaLite cereal bars. He was so excited!!! Seriously, he got really hyper and acted so silly. He was such a cute pumpkin! Riley and Ethan were our only trick-or-treaters! Jax thought they had really scary costumes and stared at them a lot!! Sunday, we all went to the zoo to celebrate my mom's birthday! We had a modified picnic (we ate in the car), and went to church with her too. We had a great time! Jax' favorite thing at the zoo was watching the panda eat, and eating snowcones!! He was so smart, because he realized after seeing the panda that everywhere we stopped, he was supposed to see something. So he would look for it. He had a great time, and I think he'll look forward to Sasa's birthday next year too! The panda bear: Watching the ducks: The polar bear:
