All I want for Christmas . . .

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...

"Walking in Memphis" . . . well, actually it's more like 30 miles south of Memphis

Jax did it! He walked last night . . . 8 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days old!! He let go of the couch and took about 4 steps towards his Daddy. Then I screamed and he fell! About 5 minutes later, he let go of the couch and walked from one side to the other without holding on or falling!!! We have a sectional couch so he was walking from one corner to another. The best part is that John and I were both there to see it. After that we loaded him in the car and went to Subway. So when we got home it was bedtime . . . no more time to shock us with his walking skills! Funny thing is that when we walked outside to get in the car, his Walker-to-Wagon had just been delivered by UPS. Unfortunately, we were too shocked to grab the camera! I'm sure we'll have ample opportunity to snap some pictures in the next few days though. ***I finally heard Jax say Dada on Saturday. John heard it for the first time yesterday (Tuesday morning)!!
