A message from Jax....

We had Jax's 9 month checkup this week and it was a success!  The kid was thrilled to be at the dr. because of all the kids in the waiting room......hilarious!  He's in the 50th% for weight and 75th for length.  I did however learn that I've been feeding him too much formula because he hasn't really taken to real food yet (he'll eat baby food but nothing chunky).  Why would he want to when he can get it from the bottle! :0)  So we've tried "real" food for the last couple days and so far he only likes cheerios.....I'm trying people!!  This is actually real progress!

Here are some pics from the last 9 months.  He has changed so much!  By the way, my friend Kaitlyn made his onesie in the 9 month picture......LOVE IT! :0)  Thanks, Kaitlyn!

Hey Santa!!

Well, we took Jax to see Santa yesterday and he burst into tears as soon as we put him in his lap.  It was so funny and sad at the same time.  So we asked for a redo and went and gave Jax a bottle and the result was the second picture below!  There's nothing like a good meal to change your mood! :0)

By the way, Santa said he has a bank account at Regions Bank in Jacksonville, hmmmmm......very odd....... :0)

So Jax is 9 months old today!  I think we are going to start calling him "cheeks" or "no neck"......its in there somewhere!!  Here he is with his tennis racket!  We're starting early!

Jax is still just the sweetest baby with a very easy going disposition.  He has gotten a little more difficult to feed baby food to though!  He only wants his bottle these days.  I think it might be because he is getting more teeth but I'm not sure.  He's still sleeping through the night but wakes up around 6 and wants to go to sleep at 6 so we are trying to shift that to 7!  Not the easiest thing to do!  He's still taking 2 naps a day and that gives me a couple breaks which is really nice!  He has gotten bolder and wants to try to stand up without holding on to anything but he just falls.  He isn't ready to walk yet though.  He likes the safety of holding on to us!  Everyone that said that each stage is more and more fun was so right!!  :0)

Thanksgiving fun!

Jax met his great grandmother for the 1st time last weekend.  Here's Granny Mathis and Jax...

Here's Uncle Doug with the boys......

I haven't been really good about taking pictures lately.  Going to try to work on that!  Jax is all over the place and is getting faster and faster at crawling and pulling up.  He hasn't mastered sitting down from standing up though and that has resulted in some bumps on his head!

Our kitchen is almost done so I'll try to post some pictures after its done.  We are looking forward to Christmas and we are going to try to take Jax to see Santa!  Hopefully we will get a good (or funny:0) picture!
