Wee Wilson Tales

Well Friday night while John was off to see Hulk Hogan, Jax rolled over from back to belly for the first time. 15 weeks and 3 days, Jax reached this developmental milestone. I knew it was coming as he's been so squirmy on the floor lately. We were laying on a pallet in the floor, and he had turned so that he was looking at me upside down. So, he just twisted on over and propped himself up on his arms. I had been teasing him with toys to try and get him to roll. Who knew that I would be the object of attention when it finally happened! I have seen him roll 3 times since then, but so far I'm the only witness! No video yet, but you know I'm determined to perserve this memory on camera. Jax and I had a little photo shoot. Here are my favorite shots. The rest are under his 3 month album . . . isn't he precious?? He did great, but I had a hard time keeping drool or spit bubbles out of the pictures! I found it impossible to make him smile in these! So these are showing off hi...

Well, Jax has always HATED tummy time. I've never been able to keep him on his tummy for more than a minute or two before he started screaming and burying his face in the blanket. Sunday he figure out how to put an end to tummy time. While we were at my parent's house, he rolled over for the first time. Since then, he's been doing it non-stop. He stays on his tummy for about 10 seconds, and then flips right over. So, the recommended 20 minutes of tummy time never happened anyway but now we aren't even going to squeeze a few minutes out of him. But, he can hold his head up just fine anyway. Here's a little video of him escaping the torture of tummy time. JUMPEROO JAX Jax is officially jumping in his jumperoo now. I made a little video to put on here, but it was pretty uneventful as he was very focused on the tv trays for some reason. But here a few pics of him: one when he was enjoying it, and then one when he was ready to get out. Jax also watched his first UFC matc...

On Saturday (4/14), Jax held his first toy. Well, it's actually a little lion puppet from PBK, but it was so cute. Of course, I managed to snap a picture. I was holding it in front of him and singing, when he just reached out and grabbed it. He didn't let go of it either. I had to take it from him when the lion made it's way inside his mouth since this puppet hasn't been washed yet! I love this picture of John & Jax: John snapped this one of me & Jax asleep on the couch Thursday night. We always eat lunch with my parents and my sister on Sundays after church. But this week was the first Sunday lunch we've managed to make since Jax was born. Jax dressed up in an outfit his Aunt Kelly bought him so he could go and see her get baptized. But just as we were about to walk out the door, Jax decided he MUST have his bottle. Sorry we missed it Kelly, Jax hasn't quite gotten his priorities in order yet. Eating is still #1! Congratulations anyway! We are so proud ...

We went to my Aunt Carolyn's house Saturday for their annual Easter egg hunt. I had to take back the Easter outfit I bought Jax because of the ridiculously cold weather. It was too cold for Jax to be outside for the egg hunt, but he still got a prize (teething ring) for being the youngest hunter! This is the only picture I managed to get of him in his outfit since he screamed bloody murder as soon as we got to Aunt Carolyn's. I think it will take him a little while to get used to the big Oglesby family gatherings. They also had the blow up slide that the kids (even us big kids) all got to enjoy. I managed to snap a picture of John coming down with three of my cousins. In this one, John and Gatlin are coming down the slide upside down. Jax went home with my parents from Aunt Carolyn's house. He spent his first night away from home with Grandaddy and Sasa!!! John & I got to enjoy a night out with Cory, Kathryn, Trey & Wes. He slept in his bassinet (thanks Wendy!!) unt...

Jax was 12 weeks on Tuesday (April 2) of last week. I guess we are now going to start doing pictures by months instead of weeks. So here are his last WEEK pictures. On Wednesday, I took Jax to my office to show everyone how much he had grown. Besides spitting up a huge puddle of milk on my boss' floor, he was great. He talked and laughed with the ladies in my office. He was so fun! While he was here, he had a FIRST! He saw his hand for the very first time. Of course, he's been tasting his hands for quite a while now. But he had never looked at them before. Since that moment, I keep catching him holding out his hand and just staring. So I finally caught him on camera . . . Wednesday night, it was sooo cold! Jax got to wear his bear outfit that Chrissi bought. She's been mad at me b/c he never wore it. But she bought a 3-6 month jacket with 0-3 month pants. So, he got to wear it to church Wednesday night since he his in between sizes now anyway. My cousin Savannah came over t...

This is a video of Jax laughing this morning. John was tickling him! You can also witness his new obsession with keeping his hands in his mouth. This is a clip of Jax trying to talk through his hiccups. As you can tell from this clip, he does NOT like having the hiccups.

We took Jax to Alexa's birthday party in Grenada. He got to hang out with his cousins (Eli & Alexa). Daddy had fun showing him off. John's grandmother (Ninny) held Jax's hand on the way to the party. When we got back from the party, Jax was exhausted! On Sunday after church, Grandaddy and Sasa kept Jax while I worked on our taxes. Blah!! Jax was in a great mood though. He is really developing his personality now. He's so much fun! He tries to talk to us all the time. I love his little baby talk. This morning is the most he's talked yet. I'm afraid he was trying to tell me what a bad mommy I am. I was trimming his nails last night and made him bleed. I felt so bad! He has scratched his nose up with his nails (which you can see when you zoom in on these pictures), but I'm not cutting another one. I think I'll just have to get out the fingernail file. Oh yeah, his new talent is putting his hand in his mouth (you can see in the picture below). Sometimes ...
