Jaxton 9 months old

Jaxton is 9 months old!!! He is a little roly poly and can get around just fine without even knowing how to crawl yet. Who needs to crawl when they can just roll everywhere they want to go?! That's our little Jax. He is getting cuter day by day!! Every time he sees another little baby or little kid, he gets so excited. He tries everything to get their attention, waving his arms, raising his voice and screeching in their direction. He just loves other little baby faces. It is so fun to watch him get so excited. This is one of his most recent photos we got taken. Yes, he is already a basketball star like his dad!

The other day we had a rotisserie chicken for dinner. Jaxton wouldn't eat much chicken, but he absolutely loved to naw on the chicken bone like a little puppy! What a cutie! He nawed off all the meat and sucked that chicken bone dry!! Cute boy!

New Baby on the Way...

We are expecting baby #2 on February 2, 2008! Jaxton will be a big brother! These two will be about 15 months apart, which I think will be just perfect. Jaxton is dying to have a playmate, and will love having another little baby around to play with. We are so excited!! We could not figure out our due date, so we did have an ultrasound done that determined the date of Feb. 2. I was only a little over 12 weeks when the ultrasound was done, so technically it is too early to tell whether it is a boy or girl, but some of the pictures we got from it, definitely looked BOY! Here is a full body shot of the little one inside!

Mom & Me

Jaxton is about 8 months old! He can clap and wave and is really learning how to get around. If he sees something he wants he will squirm every which way on his tummy to reach it. He is such a joy in my life! I have never experienced joy the way I have experienced joy in a child of my own. Jaxton is the joy of my life. He makes everything worth working for and living for. Nate and I have been so blessed! I love you Jaxton!

I'm Standing!!!

Jaxton has learned how to stand up! It's been a challenge, but he has figured it out! And he is so proud of himself! He pulls up on things now and loves to walk along them, like the tv stand or the couch. He will walk along and hold on. It is so fun to watch him learn new things and then see him feel joy when he knows he has accomplished something new! Great job Jax! We love you!

4th of July 2007

Happy 4th of July!! We went to a big barbeque at my parent's neighborhood. Tons of people. The kids enjoyed all the bustle and all the people. My mom got the kids all their Independence Day attire! They are all so adorable!! Proud to be an American!!

3rd Wedding Anniversary

For our third wedding anniversary, we took a little getaway to the beautiful Park City, Utah. We got to stay in the cute downtown area of Park City and walk the shops. We left Jaxton with Grandma Hutchinson, the first time we really ever left him overnight. The next day we went river rafting down the Park City river. It is actually a very calm river, so it was more of a relaxing float, rather than a whitewater adventure. It was just enjoyable being the two of us together! Happy third anniversary to the Love of My Life!!

Jaxton is 7 Months Old

Jaxton is 7 months old! Wow he is getting so big! Here are some cute shots from his 7th month. He is so fun to dress up, I love it!! I love his green monkey shirt and his brown sandals! And we got him the movie, CARS, from Disney. He sorta watches it but I think it will come in handy in a few months. But we found a CARS outfit. We actually bought it before he was born, around when the movie first came out! We just couldn't pass it up! So here he is wearing his CARS shirt and hat. He is supposed to look like a car mechanic. What a cutie!!

This is Jaxton's first friend, Audrey Glauser. She and Jaxton are about 3 months apart. They were friends before they were born!! Melissa (Audrey's mom) and I are good friends and were there with each other through both of our pregnancies and deliveries. These 2 are destined to be great friends. Maybe we can arrange a marriage in about 21 years!

Fashion Show

Here is our little 7 month old cutie. Grandma Hutchinson got him his darling basketball jersey outfit. Its complete with his baby sized basketball! Another of my favorite outfits for him is this blue overalls outfit. Perfect for summertime! What a doll!

I picked up this jean jacket before Jax was even born. Grandma Hutchinson picked up this plaid shirt and all together, it makes a darling outfit! What a handsome fellow!!

Daddy & Me

Jaxton & Daddy. I think they are a lot alike sometimes. Jaxton is such a social little baby, telling everyone hi everywhere he goes, strangers or not. He loves other babies and other kids, just as social and friendly as can be! That sounds a lot like Nate! He loves his daddy too, so much! Here they are with their church socks on on a Sunday afternoon...

Swimming in the Sun

We have family membership at the American Fork Fitness Center, which is super fun in the summertime! They just built a huge lazy river and splash park area perfect for kids. It has a sloped beach on it so even Jaxton can play in the 2 inch deep water and splash around. He loves it. This day, we took Jaxton together and went swimming with him. He had so much fun!! The water was a whole new world to him! What fun!!

Fun in the Sun

Summer is just about here and it was warm enough for a day at the pool! That is, a blow up pool in our backyard! Amanda, Jaxton's cousin joined us and we had a fun day outside in the sun. Amanda is 1 year older than Jaxton who is 5 months old.

Wedding Party

I was a bridesmaid at my best friend, Lindsay Daniels Costello's, wedding. So we are all dressed up for the occasion, even the little Jax man. He has his own tuxedo, complete with a bowtie and all. What a handsome boy! We had a great time all getting dressed up and dancing together outside at the wedding party!! Congratulations Lindsay and Chris!!

First Trip to the Park

This is Jaxton's first trip to the park! He loved being outside after a long winter of being inside. He just looked all around and took everything in. He just loved the fresh air. Nate carried him in the Baby Bjorn, which he also loved. We took a walk around the park and swung in the swings with him! What a darling little boy!

4 Months Old

Jaxton

4 Months Old

Jaxton is about 4 months old! I can't believe it! He is such a fun little boy, and has been a relatively easy baby! Sometimes I will walk up to him to be greeted with "Hiiiii!" He definitely can say hi even thought he doesn't know why he is saying it or what it means. He is talking up a storm these days in Baby Jibberish! He is very good at sittingup. He tries so hard to keep balance. It won't be too long before he can do it on his own! He can roll from his tummy to his back but he is beginning to somewhat like being on his tummy because he can hold his head up very well now. Sometimes when he is talking and focusing on me, he will flare his little nostrils in concentration, hehe. It is super cute. And his feet are already stinky! They smell like dirty socks at the end of the day! Funny, funny! He grew out of 0-6 month socks, so we had to get some 6mo-24mo socks which fit much better. Jaxton loves the bathtub. He is defintely going to be a little swimmer! Right now he is in his drooling stage. Byt he end of the day the whole front of his outfit is drenched with drool! :-) He has very strong lets and can bear weight really well. Once he has the balance mastered, he will be standing! At night he flails his arms and accidentally wakes himself up, so we have to swaddle him in a "straightjacket" and then he sleeps beautifully! He also sleeps to the AM radio static station. It is his white noise. The louder the noise, the better he sleeps!! Funny guy! We love you Baby Jax!

Valentine's Day

Nate and I spent Valentine's Day at The Melting Pot in Salt Lake City. What a fun evening!! It was our first fondu experience together and was a ton of fun!

Jaxton's Baby Blessing

Jaxton was given his baby blessing on February 4, 2007. It was a beautiful memorable day. Daddy blessed Jaxton that he would gain a testimony of the gospel, recieve the priesthood, serve a mission, and be married in the temple. Jaxton was blessed to be a helpful big brother and to always know that he is loved by his family and his Heavenly Father. What a beautiful blessing!
