Today we took Jaxson to his first pumpkin patch! Auntie Cindy, the boys, and grandma came up and went with us even though Darren & Braden had already gone to the pumpkin patch in Fremont. There were all kinds of activities including a maze, petting zoo, and a train. Jaxson even wore his really cool skeleton outfit that Auntie Cindy got him! We all had a fun time even though Jax slept through most of it. I can’t wait until he’s able to run around and pick out his own pumpkin!
My mom’s 50th birthday is coming up this week but since she has to work on her actual birthday we all went out to dinner earlier this week to celebrate. Jax and I had a fun time visiting with my family, happy birthday mom!
Yesterday was supposed to be my due date for Jaxson, but as you all know he came quite a bit early. I couldn’t imagine still being pregnant right now, and I couldn’t imagine not having my handsome little boy here with me. We love him SO MUCH!
Last night was the first time Jax got to sit in his new bouncy chair given to him by his Auntie Cindy, Uncle Tim, and cousins Darren & Braden. He’s still a bit small for it (the harness went all the way up to his chest) but he had a good time bouncing in it anyway. Thanks for the awesome gift guys, we love it!
Five years ago today we had our first date, and I’m so glad we had a second!
These past years have been a blast, we got married an had a beautiful son. I can’t wait to see what the next five will bring us! I love you so much!!
We had a small get together on Sunday with family and a few close friends to welcome home our handsome little boy. It was the first time that anyone besides mommy and daddy has gotten to hold him. Jaxson also got to meet his cousins Darren and Braden for the first time. Darren kept giving Jax kisses & Braden just stared in curiosity, it was adorable to see them together. Unfortunately not everyone could make it, but they were in our thoughts. Thanks to everyone that came out, love you all!
Last week was my nephew Braden’s first birthday! We were so sad that we had to miss his birthday party, but it was the morning after Jaxson came home from the hospital. The good news is that they finally got to meet yesterday at Jax’s welcome home shindig. I can’t wait for Jax to be big enough to run around with his cousins! Love you guys & happy belated birthday to Braden!
Last week Jax had his first follow up appointment with his pediatrician since being discharged from the hospital last Saturday. Dr. Smith (small world huh lol) said that he is perfectly healthy, we just need to get some meat on those bones and beef him up a bit!
Here are a few pictures from Jaxson’s first bath at home. Sorry the pictures aren’t so great, daddy was at work so it was quite difficult to take pictures and bathe Jax at the same time! He did really well, but was very unhappy when he got cold. Poor baby!
Our sweet baby boy got to come home on Saturday and we couldn’t be more excited! These last three weeks have been the longest of our lives, especially because I was sick all last week and was unable to go to the hospital to visit him. It sure feels good to have him here at home with us, and are so thankful. Welcome home Jaxson, let the sleepless nights begin!
