So Alert!

Jaxon has been so alert the last couple of days! He is really studying people's faces, and has had longer awake periods! The ladies from the health department came by today for a newborn visit. According to their scale, Jaxon weighed 7lb 11oz. He is gaining! They also brought lots of information for me to read and a brightly colored book for Jaxon to look at during tummy time--Bobby and Angie are great and have helped me so much.

My Little Monkey!!

This little monkey woke up at 3:30 this a.m. and absolutely refused to go back to bed. The only place he wants to sleep is his boppy. Last night when he did this, we put him and his boppy in his cradle, but that didn't even work this morning! What a monkey!! We will definitely have to take a nap today.

Busy Day!

We had a busy day today! We got up and went to IHOP for breakfast, and then spent some time with Grandma Leanna and Great-Grandma and Great Grandpa Becker. We followed that with some shopping before attending Kristin Whitehair's (Brady's bosses daughter) wedding reception. We are finally home and Jaxon is wiped out! Doesn't he look adorable in his dress clothes?!

First Pictures

Jaxon had his first pictures taken Friday and I must say he did a great job. He even smiled for the camera! What an amazing child--ok, ok so he must have been a little gassy, but the pics are really cute!! I am soooo proud of my beautiful boy!

Grandma Judy Coming to Visit!

We got the news today that Grandma Judy is coming back for a visit at the end of the month. We are soooooo happy. She will be here when I go back to work to help Brady take care of Jaxon's needs. What a relief to have her assistance. Knowing she will be here will make it sooo much easier to go in--I know I will still be a blubbering mess, but it will be easier.

Jaxon got weighed today, and is only one ounce less than his birth weight. The ladies at the health department oohed and ahhed over him today when we went to breastfeeding group. They said he looks great and we seem to be on track--YAY!

RELAXING AFTER A BUSY DAY!

We had a busy day, and Jaxon slept through most of it (I read somewhere that newborns do that when overstimulated). We went to see Great-Grandma Phyllis and hung out with Grandma BB too. We also got to go see Aunt Tara, Cailyn, Carlyn and Grayson. It was fun! We are home now, and Jaxon has a full tummy and has been hanging out in his bouncy seat and looking at the toys on it! All is well, and we will spend a relaxing evening at home with Dad!

One Week Old!

Jaxon is one week old today. He is growing and changing. It is exciting, but definitely going too fast! I was finally able to get some pictures of him awake today. He is doing great . . .sleeping, eating, pooping and such! We go to get his pictures taken Friday, and he will also see the pediatrician on Friday. We got our packet for Relay for Life today. If anybody would like to donate to the American Cancer Society or buy a luminary, please let me know!! Jaxon and I will both be participating, and I know he would love to have your support!
