I'm this many..

We celebrated Jaxon's 1st birthday with family & friends at Lake Benson Park in Garner. I'm sure he had no idea what all the fuss was about, but it was a great time! I had camera issues (all fixed now) so I had to gather pictures from others. That's why I'm just now getting around to posting. All the ones here are courtesy of my aunt & uncle.

No Mama

Oh the joys of toddlerhood!


I heard Jack talking to Jaxon in the tub as I was getting some things ready for bedtime, "Mama's coming, you better sit down or she's going to yell". (This is one of my pet peeves). I came around the corner to see my little dude still standing up in the bath of course and I told him to sit down. "No" he says and shakes his head. I give him 'the look' & say "Yes, sit down now" and he quickly squats back down in the water. Two seconds later, JP stands back up. "Sit down", "No" (shakes head), "Yes" (sits down). He stands up again and at this point Jack is about to burst into laughter. "Jaxon sit down", "No no" (shakes head again), I barely managed to squeak out "Yes" without laughing. As soon as his bum hit the water, he stood back up & shook his head no before I even said anything. *Sigh*

Sometimes I'm impressed by all he has learned already (before this I wasn't sure he knew what 'sit down' meant). Often though, I'm just frustrated that he tells me no all the time! He's lucky Daddy usually handles bathtime, I would have already given up & hauled him out!

X-Games

My little daredevil (no babies were harmed in the making of this blog)



I don't know how he went so quickly from just barely toddling around to standing up on the back of his mini ATV! Of course I didn't get a shot of him standing straight up on the back of it (look Ma! no hands!) because I was rushing over to move him away from the TV stand. I thought the one of him laying on the floor was pretty funny with this series. He actually did that while he was sitting on it properly though. Then he just laid there kicking it & hitting the horn button which gave me the time to grab the camera again. B warned me that the climbing phase was a challenge.. here we go..
