Toddler Room!

Oh please ignore the lady in blue - but if I put you down, you cry, so I decided to take the pic with me in it. :) August 30th was your first official day in the toddler room! You've been transitioning into the room for about a month now. You're doing great! You're eating better and you're napping much better - I'm so happy! It's been so helpful for you to be able to be with the bigger kids and especially to nap when all the kids nap! You're so nosy that you didn't nap well in the infant room - so I'm thrilled you're getting a 2 hour nap every day. We're heading to the shore tomorrow! WOO HOO! Todd family vacation! :)

Irene Aftermath

All is well. You slept through the hurricane and we sustained no damage. Mommy about had a panic attack a few times, but you were blissfully oblivious. We otherwise, had a terrific weekend. You were full of giggles and attempts to talk. You even took your first attempt at walking - you stepped away from my laundry basket towards me, but you fell. :( I hope it doesn't deter you from trying again soon. Tomorrow is your first official day in the Todder room! I'll take pics! :) You're getting SO BIG!

Irene

Hurricane Irene is coming. Sounds like it's going to be a nasty storm. Daddy and I have the house as ready as it can be. You are napping peacefully upstairs. It's supposed to hit hard around 2 AM so we'll see how bad it really is once it gets here. Hopefully it'll just be a rainy day and nothing more. I'll be sure to post again tomorrow as long as we have internet. :)

Fussy night

Tonight you and I went down the street to Chris Martin's house for dinner. You were rammy and fussy the entire time. Very unlike you. I think that being in the strange house around strangers perhaps put you over the edge of tired. :( Poor baby. I brought you home and took you to bed. You fell immediately to sleep. :( I feel so bad! How did you get so tired? Hopefully you'll rest well tonight and wake happy and refreshed tomorrow. Sleep tight my love.

Today your daycare paper said that you like to ride the toy cars at school, backwards. I guess it's easier for you to push yourself backwards than it is to pull yourself forward. :) It also said that you all found a box turtle out in the yard today but you were all afraid of it! That made me laugh. When I got you home we sat and played. You only wanted your book and I took a picture of you reading it. I love you...my little darling.

14 Months

Today you are 14 months old (12.5 Adjusted). It's raining like crazy today so we've been playing inside. Daddy put you in your toy jeep and ran around the basement with you. You loved it, as you can see. You're starting to make sounds similar to the words "Uh Oh" each time I say it to you so I think your next words will be "Uh Oh!" :)

Voyeur

This morning, Daddy was mowing the lawn and you wanted to watch. I put your step stool under the window and you were JUST tall enough to see out the window. You squealed with joy every time Daddy came by the window. My clever little guy!

First Haircut

Yesterday we went for your first haircut. Grandma went with us to help by taking pictures while I held you. You did SO well! You look like a little man now! When I got you home last night you had a little fever so to bed you went. Hopefully this morning you'll wake feeling much better. Mom and Dad are going to take you to the park today for a little while. I'll post more pictures later today. :)

Welcome to Jaxon's World!

Inspired by my friend Kim who has been documenting her daughter's life in a blog, I'm attempting to start one for Jaxon. I'm a year behind as he's now 14 months old, but better late than never. I've failed miserably in keeping a journal for him, so hopefully this online environment will help me stay up to date. Wish me luck!
