Happy Halloween!

This was one day that it was actually kind of chilly....very nice!
Jax is diving into the terrible two's head first (at 19 months)! Its been fun and challenging! I'm missing the days when Jax was easier to handle (and hold) but very much enjoying the new spectrum of funny things he does! He loves to dance to everything including the songs in his head and he babbles endlessly about God only knows what. :0) He also tries really hard to say words that we are trying to teach him. He has quickly gotten into the habit of holding hands with us and praying before we eat dinner and thinks its hilarious. He has not yet gotten the hang of holding hands and walking with us in public. We are working hard on that skill!

We've learned a lot about his personality in the last couple months. He is extremely strong willed.....my mother-in-law reassured me that because of that, he will be a leader and a very determined person. (Very encouraging words to hear and I remind myself of them when I can't get the kid to eat his vegetables.)

On a more superficial note, Jax has a wicked combover that we might finally cut in the coming days. I'll post pictures if that actually happens. :0) I've been putting it off because I LOVE his red hair and can't bare to part with any of it!

more Jax goodness to come......

More pictures....less words :0)

I know my posts are getting shorter and shorter but I don't seem to have a lot of time these days to write a lot! So here are some pictures!

Here is Jax on his first day of school (mother's morning out)!

We met up our good friends Dan and Betsy while they were in town. Little Mary Beth is a cutie! Yes, that is drool on Jax's shirt! :0)
At the beach!!
