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!

"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)!!
