Wee Wilson Tales

Another picture of him loving bathtime: We had a fun weekend. John was in Natchez, so it was just me & Jax on Friday and Saturday. So, of course we had a mini photo shoot: On Sunday, we went to Jake & Angie's for their crawfish boil. I love crawfish, and they were great! Jax was really good at his first crawfish boil!! On Monday, we (me, John, Jax, my parents, my sis & her hubby) all went to Holiday Lodge at Sardis Lake backwaters for lunch. Then, Johns family came over to cook out that afternoon by the pool. Well, Jax loved the water. It was finally warm enough to get him in on Sunday. We've got to get him one of those baby floats now that we know he will stay in there. Jax in his carseat on the way to eat lunch. I also added new pictures to his 3 to 6 month album!!

So, John and I ordered BabyFirst TV channel for Jax that is designed for children 3 and under. Now, I am a firm believer in not allowing the tv to be a "babysitter" for my child. I grew up playing outside and using my imagination, and Jax will too. But while he is a baby who cannot even crawl yet, he is very entertained by watching things. Especially moving things. Like faces/people, his mobile, his night light show, the dogs run around...and yep, BabyFirst TV. If you want to know the reasons that we think it's so great, click on WHAT CAN BABYFIRST TV DO FOR MY BABY? One of my favorite things about it is that it is coded so that you understand what they show is about. This is the color code below: Yellow Flower for Thinking Journey (creative thinking) Blue Flower for Numbers Parade (math) Green Flower for Sensory Wonderland (sensory) Red Flower for Language Playground (language) Orange Flower for Feelings Garden (social skills) Pink Flower for Imagination Lane (creative ...

On Saturday morning, we gave Jax his first baby food. Green Beans! We had the camera ready to get his funny faces, but he loved it! I added it to his rice cereal, and he really did great with it. Here are some of the shots John captured: Saturday afternoon we went to Spring Fest in Batesville. I ate some wonderful Chicken-on-a-stick and some green apple cotton candy. I went to eat crawfish, but didn't want to fool with dirty hands and the baby after I got there! When we left Springfest, we stopped by to visit John's dad and Rammie. Jax got a new pair of shoes and some socks from his GrandMyron! Daddy, Caleb, Jax Daddy & Jax Mommy, Aunt K, Jax Aunt K & Jax Jax had fun playing with this ball that his daddy got after doing a basketball toss game. Jax & GrandMyron We also had Homecoming at our church Sunday. I love Homecoming because all of the people that I miss come back. I look forward to it every year. It was so great to see Craig, Loretta, and Aime! Aime, who I use...

Our baby is now 4 Months Old! Where has the time gone?? He went for his 4 Month Checkup on Wednesday. I think it was harder on John to see him get his shots than it was on Jax. He did scream, but was laughing at his Daddy again in a matter of seconds after being picked up. He did a lot worse before the appointment than after the shots. I stopped with him at Babies-r-us to shop before the appointment. So we got on Bill Morris Parkway to head to the doctor. Unfortunately, I thought that Mt. Moriah was the exit right after Bill Morris Parkway so we went the wrong way on 240. I thought, no big deal. I'll get off on Poplar because Mt. Moriah crosses right over Poplar. Then I couldn't remember the stupid name that Mt. Moriah changed to at this intersection. By the way, why does Memphis do this??!! Can't any street retain it's name until it dead ends?? So, I ended up driving around in awful traffic with Jax screaming for 15 minutes. Finally, I called my hairdresser and he remi...

It seems like just yesterday . . . May 10th, 2006 is the day that I got my very faint positive line on my home pregnancy test. On May 11th (6 pregnancy tests later) I sat John's card out for him and added a new date to the back of it. See, I had written this little card (below) to tell him about the first preganancy on Feb 20th. Unfortunately, that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. But I pulled the card back out this time, and put it on the counter for him to read when he came home from work. I remember he walked in and looked at the card and said, "Are you sure?" Of course I pulled out my collection of tests, and there was no denying it with 6 poistive results. I don't know which time was more scary. In a way, it was much scarier this time around because we knew the risks involved - so the fear was more about this pregnancy not working out too. I guess our fear the first time was just more of the shock of it really happening. This is the card I made for John: (you c...

Well he may not be crawling yet, but it's certainly not for lack of trying. He can SCOOT from one end of the blanket all the way to the other now. He can move his legs, but his arms are pretty stationary while doing the scoot. I am constantly having to put him back on the blanket because he's managed to either roll or scoot off the edge. (Sorry for the annoying high-pitch baby-talk voice. It's really hard to control!)

Okay, I have lots to blog because I have gotten way behind! Let's just say it's been a busy couple of weeks. Thank goodness the semester is coming to an end. My exams are over, grades are turned in . . . my blood pressure has even started to go back down. Yep, I had to get on blood pressure pills during my sinus infection. Hopefully, it's a temporary thing. Anyway, I'll try and catch up today - - even if it means several blogs get posted on the same day. So on to the really important stuff . . . Jax LOVES to talk in the morning. Most mornings he talks the entire time I'm in the shower and getting dressed. Some mornings he is really happy. So here is an example of his "happy talk." Then some mornings he does his "fussy talk." Fussy talk is a wonderful step up from crying!! See for yourself: Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos
