Yep - Our Elf

Yep, our Elf, made his appearance again this year the day after thanksgiving! He showed up on the front porch with some hot chocolate and a letter for Jace. He was SO excited!! Every day since then, Jace wakes up and gets to go find Yep. He's quite the mischievous little guy. Here's some of the things he's been up to! 

Watching cartoons and reading books!
Playing on the art work!

Drinking milk and staying warm in a towel!

Playing Hungry Hungry Hippos!

Making lunch!

Making breakfast!

Playing on the white board!

Getting water!

Christmas Pictures 2014

We got our Christmas pictures taken up at Kings Beach in Lake Tahoe this year.  We actually went up on our anniversary, November 7th.  It was gorgeous!  Like 75 degrees out!  We were all sweating in our sweaters....ha ha!  But we got some great shots!  Here are some of my favorites! :)

Jaxon - 3 months old!

So, I'm definitely posting this about two weeks late!  Ha ha!  But our little man is 3 months old!  He is growing like a weed!!  He is so much bigger than Jace was at his age.  At 3 months old he was over 14 pounds!  And just a couple days ago when I took him to the doctor he was 15 pounds 6 ounces!!!  That puts him in the 90th percentile for height and weight! Jace was only in the 50th percentile his whole first year....so this guy is starting out much bigger.  He is such a happy little man....and brings our family so much joy!!  And Jace is getting better playing with him every day! Just love him!! :)



Love his little smile!

Getting big!

Jace wanted to jump in the pictures too....but Jaxon decided to spit up at the same time!

And to compare, here are his previous months' pictures! 
2 months!

1 month!
12 days!


Weight: 14 lbs. 8 oz, 90th percentile 

Diapers:  Still  size #2! Barely!  Still using Honest diapers.  :)  

Sleep:  Jaxon is still sleeping great...he normally sleeps about 9-10 hours each night before he wakes up.  But this month he had a couple rough weeks!  He got his first ear infection (Thanks to Jace going to preschool) and it really threw him off his schedule.  He started waking up a couple times each night which he hasn't done for over a month and a half.  He also was super fussy when I tried to feed him.  So I took him to the doctor and sure enough he had his first ear infection in his left ear.  But after a few days on antibiotics he was as good as new!  :)

Easy going:  Besides getting mad when he's not held, Jaxon is a really easy going baby.  He's not on a strict schedule, he sleeps and eats whenever and he super smily and cute!  We are loving every minute!  He's also much less independent than his brother.  He just loves being around people all the time.  Likes being held, likes snuggling and likes smiling and cooing.  He's just really social already! 

Likes:  
Snuggling - loves sleeping facing my chest snuggling under my chin.  Heaven.
Riding in the Ergo baby carrier
Playing on the play mat (batting at the toys)
Watching Jace
Cooing back and forth
Smiling
Baths
Eating

Dislikes: 
Not being held
Being laid down for too long
Riding in the car seat
Loud noises - they scare him and he starts crying  

Pictures: Here are some of my favorite pictures from the past month!! :)


Learning to hold toys!
Visiting with his first girlfriend, Isla!
He loves bath time!
Chilling with dad!
Little shark!
He loves his snuggles!
Mornings!
He smiles all the time!

Happy Halloween!!

I know Halloween was a couple weeks ago, but here are some cute pictures of the boys!  Jace decided months ago that he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear and that Jaxon had to be Woddy!  I found these cute little costumes on Target!  Jace had so much fun trick-or-treating this year.  We went down the street and had dinner with our neighbors...they have two boys ages 4 and 2 that he likes to play with!  We left their house and went to about 8 houses before Jace was done!  Ha ha!  It was pretty cold and he saw our house and decided it was time to go home!  An I actually think he had MORE fun handing out candy!  Everytime the door bell rang, he sprinted towards the door!  He gave each kid handfuls of candy and then waved good bye!  We had a blow up Halloween cat out in the court yard so he started yelling, "Happy Halloween! Don't let the black cat get you!"  Or "Happy Halloween!  See you at Christmas!"  It was so funny and made most of the parents laugh!  :)
