Wee Wilson Tales

Okay - here are just a few pictures of Jax. I don't have time to blog yet. I worked Resgistration last week, and I've been working late registration all of this week. Hopefully, I will be back in my office next week. Then I can catch up on all my blogging! Jax is pulling up on everything now! John and I bought him this big dog to cuddle with. He loves to play on his dog. He's talking about something really important here. Playing with my old book "Mandy Monkey and the Coconuts" Jax loves this new mesh feeder - He can eat a banana all by himself now!

Jax turned 7 months on Thursday the 9th!! Some of his new skills are: walking while holding on to the furniture falling with grace (sometimes) letting go of the furniture to stand by himself (falls after about 5 seconds) pulling up on everything wanting to eat everything we eat eyes are getting darker and hair is getting lighter playing peek-a-boo He loves playing Peek-a-boo!! Jax stayed with my parents on Saturday night while John & I celebrated our 5th anniversary (I'll post pics of that tomorrow). My mom took some great pictures of him that aren't blue this time, so I'll have to get those from her.

Jax & I went to Chrissi's on Saturday for Cullen's birthday party. Jax got lots of attention and had a great time. However, Wendy and Chrissi contaminated him with his first junk food!!!! He was definitely wanting some table food so I decided to let him try a Cheetos Puff. He ate 3 of them, and loved it!! Vangie & Jax Jax' cousins: Cullen, Hunter, Averi, Gatlin, Braedon, Dalton Happy Birthday Cullen - 3 Years! Jax was terrified of the noise! It was way too hot to do much of anything this weekend. So Jax & I stayed at home. We got to swim a little, but it was too hot to stay out for very long.

Here are some photos with his new bed in the room!

After showing Jax how to do a big smile to show off his beautiful teeth, he gave me this look that said "I don't know what's wrong with you, but I'll have no part of that." Then he allowed just 2 of them to show! That's better than the usual hand-in-mouth pictures that show none, so I'm not going to complain!! His Daddy gives me this EXACT same look sometimes! See Mommy, I can smile without showing any teeth!! Daydreaming . . . "I wonder if I'll get to eat those yummy sweet potatoes tonight???" Yet another Daddy look . . . Photo shoots are apparently sometimes sad . . . I am always chewing on my tongue . . . hey, i've gotta do something with my 6 teeth. I look just like my Daddy here! Maybe if I don't look at her, she'll stop taking pictures! Nope, it didn't work! I'm getting out of here!!!

We had a really busy weekend!! Friday night we went to the Rendezvous in Downtown Memphis. We went with some of our friends who were in town for their 10 Year Class Reunion (Wes & Jaime Crawley, Wes Davis & Taylor) and B & Amy Lauren Lucius. We had a great time! I have to admit that the evening ended with a wild-goose chase for McDonald's Dip cones at 1:30 a.m. Amy Lauren, who is 19 wks pg, is 100% to blame for infecting us all with her craving. Unfortunately, the one McDonald's that was open had broken ice-cream machines. Saturday, Jax and I rode to Memphis with John for his aikido class. Then Jax & I went to Target, Babies-R-Us, and Old Navy. Jax was wonderful through the whole shopping trip! We bought his new crib mattress so we could give Corrie's back to her! Saturday evening, Troy Keel treated us with his amazing hot wings, banana pudding, and bratwursts. Sunday we headed to Grenada after church to return the crib mattress. John's mom cooked a feas...

My sister, Karen, is having a baby!!!!!!!!! We are soooo excited! She found out Thursday (7/19)! It looks like the baby will be due March 27, 2008. I am thrilled that Jax will have cousins to grow up with. It will be so fun for him because I remember how fun it was for me! I remember how she cried when she found out I was pregnant, and I was no different!! I got to spend a lot of time with her this weekend (filling her full of all my pregnancy tips)! I hope she'll have an easy pregnancy! I can't believe my little sis is going to be a MOM!!!!!! Whewww, it has been a busy weekend. It started on Thursday night with the big consignment sale in Memphis. Karen, Corrie, and I were there for about 3 hours! John had Jax sound asleep when I got home. Then Friday we didn't get dinner until almost 10:00! I don't even remember what we were doing - just working around the house. Saturday , I was supposed to get out of the house early and buy a crib. Of course nothing worked out. M...
