Wee Wilson Tales

Elle is finally here!!! She was born at 10:19 yesterday weighing 8.1 lbs!

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)!!

It's pretty funny that after all the time you spend selecting fun, entertaining, and even educational toys, sometimes they just prefer the non-toys. Jax is really entertained by all things that fall into the Non-Toy Category! He loves to play with cups, huggies (at GrandMyron's), calculators, remote controls to tv, cordless phones, cell phones . . . Checking out his cowboy . . . Our weekend was no different than our week . . . BUSY! Friday night my sister and her husband went with us to the Midsouth Fair. We had a blast! We watched the guys play games and ate the fattening fair food that is so yummy. Then we saw Ronnie Milsap in concert. It was a lot of fun. After the concert, I got his autograph and shook his hand. I told him that he was the first person I saw in concert. My dad took me to a Barbara Mandrell/Ronnie Milsap/Ricky Scaggs concert when I was 4 years old. We picked Jax up and got home around 11! Saturday we went to Grenada for John's family reunion. Jax got lo...

Jax loves his hammer. He carries it around with him everywhere. We do not love it as much since we often get "hammered" in the head or on the face, or any where else on our body that looks like a good place to hammer. We sometimes take it with us to church, since it will keep him occupied for a while. Ironically, John has graciously gotten "hammered" (by Jax , of course) a few times at church just to keep the peace. In his playpen . . . he loves books!! A little blurry, but it was such a sweet smile. More of the same . . . Crawling under the jumperoo I'm very excited to say that my camera did come in yesterday! They were able to repair it, and the best news is that it was still under warranty! If you ever need to know of an EXCELLENT place to mail your camera in for repair, let me know. The received it on the 14 th , and fixed it on the 14 th . Plus they had a status website where I could keep an eye on the process. Unfortunately, I didn't get home unti...

What a big boy I am now! I'm always on the move . . . crawling, cruising along the furniture, jumping in my jumperoo, or in the walker! Sometimes I am silly and camera shy! I really wanted to play with the camera strap here. It gave Mommy a chance to snap a picture of my hair. Can you see how much it's grown?? Mommy knows that I'm ready for my nap when I start to rub my eyes. If she misses that clue, another good sign is that I can hardly hold them open!! If she doesn't take me to my crib soon, I guess I'll just sleep here. Me and Daddy . . . Mommy's not so good with Sasa's camera. She's really looking forward to her camera coming in on the 20th!! Yay! Here I am playing with my new toys from Noah's Ark! We've been pretty busy! Saturday we spent the day in Grenada and went to the arts and crafts fair on the square. My Aunt K had a booth set up so I got to play in her tent. I know that she and Sasa were so glad that I came to entertain them. I...
