Summer with the Blaser's

Our best friends drove from AZ and spent an entire week with us. I think it was more fun for us than them. They slept in my in-law's giant Twinkie. It was hot, uncomfortable and loud, but they never complained. We went swimming, talked, ate and hung out. Jaxon loved chasing Rylee all over the house. Young love. We loved having them stay with us.

Big Boy PJ's

My lil' boy is not a lil' baby anymore. We just got him some new pajamas that are 2 pieces. He loves them. He thinks he looks so old in them. Which I agree. He is getting so big. He has one pair that says "POW!" on them. Ryan asked me yesterday, "Cali, did you buy him foreign pj's?" I had no idea what he was talking about. He said, "Why does it say 'imod'?" I don't remember the last time I laughed that hard. It said "POW!" upside down.

It wasn't me

Some people probably look at Jaxon and think that his parents are abusive. Now that he is mobile, he falls a lot. He was playing on the spare bed downstairs with me (which is next to the window) and stood up, holding on to the window seal. He fell and cut his eye on the edge of the seal. He was bauling for a couple minutes. I can't wait til he can stand by himself, so he stops falling so much. I'm afraid Jax will be taken away from me if this keeps happening.

Jaxon's 1st pool...if you can call it a pool

We got Jaxon a baby pool. I mean a BABY pool. It is tiny, but he looves it. It is about 3 feet wide and 3 inches deep. He just sits and splashes in it. He will grab a handful of grass and put it in the water and then get a huge smile and start clapping. Man, I wish I could fit in it.

Happy 4th of July

We had a great fourth of July with family. We went to the Melba parade (which I look forward to every year). Then watched fireworks at the Thueson's house and then had our own fireworks at Christina's house for the kids. It was an entire weekend of fun. Jaxon stayed out til 11:30pm on Sunday to watch the fireworks. He couldn't go to bed with all the action and people around. That made for a crappy Monday.

Is mobility good when you are under one?

For the last week Jaxon has crawled a couple steps and then his legs give out on him and he falls and then continues to army-crawl. A couple days ago, he has finally done it. He is a crawling machine. He is all over the house. He doesn't just want to crawl though...he wants to walk. He is always pulling himself up onto things and trying to stand. He has a walker that he absolutely loves. We practice walking with him and he always has a huge smile on him face. When he crawls, he tries to get up on his feet. He is going to be walking before I know it. He is growing up way too fast. The other night when Ryan and I were putting Jaxon down for bed, he was screaming, so we went in to check on him and we found him sitting in the corner of his crib. He is figuring out to do so many things. Why do they grow up so fast? I hate it.

When It Rains...It Pours

If you look close, you can see all the spots on his sexy bod.

At least he is still happy.

Jaxon has had a rough few months. He has had ear infections, surgery to put tubes in his ears, he fell off the bed and we had to take him to the ER and now he is sick. He has had a runny nose and literally not sleeping. The last few days he hasn't slept more than 1 hour total during the day and probably 6 hours total in the night. He stays up screaming while I rock him to settle him down for hours at a time at night. He has had a tempature over 102 degrees. We finally took him to the doctor when I had 2 nights of no sleep for Jaxon and me. We found out he has a sore throat. We thought that was all, until today. He woke up with red spots on him head. By the afternoon, the spots were on his chest and the neck. By evening, they were practically all over his body. He has Roseola. There is no cure for it. We just have to keep Tylenol in him and try to keep him cool. He will get really hot and then normal, all day long. Poor boy, is miserable. Along with having Roseola, he is getting 4 teeth on the top all at once. This boy has had a rough life.
