3/14/08 Jaxton says "Hi!"

Jaxton is now a week old and has changed so much already (as newborns always do). So I thought it was time to post some new pictures. (You can click on the 'Baby Mine' song in the music player on the left to listen to while enjoying updates about Jaxton. I love this song!)

The name 'Jaxton' means 'full of personality' and through this week we have already seen some of his personality come through. Jaxton is a good little eater. He loves to eat, so much in fact that if he isn't sleeping he wants to be eating. He lets me know this right away too. As soon as he is awake he is crying for food. He also loves car rides, being held, and being wide awake at early morning hours (like most babies). He hates diaper changes, hiccups, sponge baths, and burping (like most babies). He is starting to spend more time awake looking around and listening. He also sometimes sucks his thumb. (So far though Kelsea has been our pro thumb sucker. She had it figured out before she was even born and she is still sucking her thumb. Not as often as she used to though.) Anyway, I love watching Jaxton sleep and pull all sorts of faces. The quick smiles, are of course, my favorites, but I have yet to catch one with the camera. I also love when I can take a picture of Jaxton awake.

3/13/08 Handsome Boy!

A couple of days ago we finally decided that Kelsea and Austin were well enough to finally hold their baby brother. They were so excited! Austin held him first. He was so cute giving his brother loves. Then he didn't want to let his brother go even though Jaxton was crying. "No, my brother!" He kept saying. Austin is already protective of his brother. I have a feeling they are going to be best buddies.

Kelsea's little faced lit up when it was her turn to hold Jaxton. She had been waiting so long to finally have the baby "out of mommy's tummy." She has already been a big helper bringing diapers and holding him. I have been calling her my 'Little Mommy'. Note: Jaxton is sucking his thumb.

Makayla got a chance to hold Jaxton the day we came home from the hospital because she wasn't sick. A couple times Makayla would see me without Jaxton and she would ask: "Mommy, do you know where the baby is?" I would just laugh and tell her that he was sleeping in his bed.

Makayla has been in Vernal with her grandparents since Sunday. It is Spring Break for her, so she was able to go visiting for the week. She has been having fun there and even got a chance to play with a friend of hers.

Tomorrow, Makayla is coming home then on Tuesday, school starts again. Somehow I think that next week will be a lot crazier than this week. At least Adam is going to still be home a lot to help out. It has been nice having him home. He is the one who has taken care of Kelsea and Austin while they have been sick all while he was sick. It takes one patient, loving dad take on sick kids at all, let alone while they are sick themselves. I love him for doing what he knew needed done even though he wasn't feeling well himself. And now everyone is feeling pretty good again. Now all we need is the weather to warm up and we will be doing great!

Happy One Week Old Jaxton! We Love You!
