6 More Days of Just Jax
Alright, I've already admitted that I'm feeling somewhat emotional about Jax not being the baby anymore. So I've decided to do a Just Jax countdown. I will TRY and post every day something about Jax while it is still JUST JAX! So here it goes....
Last night Jax went to sleep in his big boy bed for the first time! It wasn't hard at all. We had started doing our bedtime routine in there (song, story, prayer) and last night I just turned off the light and layed down beside him. I was so surprised that he went on to sleep. Of course, I had to put pillows down all around the floor in case he fell off, move the monitor in there, and move his noisemaker fan in there too. He woke up about 2 1/2 hrs later (I think I was talking too loud), and I could see him standing in the middle of the room. I know he was confused and wondering where he was. Instead of laying back down with him, I just put him in his crib. I thought it was a good start though. Maybe he'll make it a little longer each night!
He's also saying so many things now. I doubt I can remember all of the words, but here are a few:
Meow, Please, Ice, Eyes, Baby, Shhh, Hot, Diaper, Milk, Drink, Owl, Off, Down, This, ...He really will try to mimick almost anything we say, but all the words aren't clear. The other night when I was saying his prayer, I asked him "What else?" He said baby, so we prayed for baby brother. I asked What else again, and he said owls and ice. It was so sweet. Last night he added the moon in the prayer. I will try and get a picture of him in the big bed tonight!
