18 Months!!

WOW!!! This past year and a half has flown by so quickly.  My baby isn't a baby anymore!

Weight: unknown but guessing 21 pounds

Diaper: size 3

Shoe: size 3
Teeth: 10 and working on 3 more.  He decided to get all of them at once

Clothes: 12 months and 18 months

Words: ok so he doesn't talk much.  He says up and calls for Bolt when we put him outside. 

He has learned more signs like more and shoe.

 

 

He absolutely loves monkey
Bedtime and naptime weren't the same when he disappeared for a while...
So meet Monkey #2 (yes Monkey #1 is home  safe now)

He loves suckers

He had to put 2 in his mouth

 

 

Someone was just too tired waiting for lunch

First snow of the year

 

He wasn't sure what to think

 

He likes to try sticking 2 binkies in too...just like Autumn

He's learning body parts like eye, nose, and ear

Family photos

I'm finally getting around to posting our family pictures we had done.  They turned out great.  We  were eaten by mosquitoes and found a little frog friend.  So glad we were finally able to get them done since the last family photo was taken before I was pregnant with Jaxon.  There were so many great photos so here is a sample of what was taken.

 

 

15 mo old

Wow. Its been a while since I have posted about Jaxon

Diaper: size 3
Weight: 20lbs
Teeth: Only 2.  He got his first tooth on July 8th
Words: he hasn't added a lot of verbal words to his vocabulary but he can sign milk, eat, please, and baby.  He does say daw which I think means dog.
Clothes: It Ranges.  Mostly 9-12 mo with some of his clothes still being 6-9
Shoes: size 2
Foods: He has been going through phases where he doesn't eat anything because he has been teething. I had to start buying baby food again because he wouldn't eat any table food.

Here are a few things about Jaxon from the last 3 months

He likes to take things out of my closet...

and throw it down the stairs

loves to put things into like buckets or helmets

playing with Aiden for the first time since they got back from New Mexico

up the back...

down the neck...

on the head....

OK, I've had enough! Save me mommy...

That wasn't very fun.

Hangs out at soccer games and frequently has to be pulled off the field.

Learned to climb things

Makes lots of messes

He loves his brother

Could get out of his highchair...
so we had to make some more adjustments to it so now he can't get out

Jaxon loves cars and is always making the car sound while pushing everything around.

Still has the best scowl

Washington Trip

This year for our family trip we decided to go to Washington to visit Brian's brother Chad and his family.  We left at 4 in the morning hoping that the kids would sleep....well some of them were too excited to sleep.  We arrived at Boise at 8 am to eat Breakfast.

Driving out...Jaxon did very well on the long drive

There were windmills everywhere

Visiting Seattle

I have never been to Seattle before.  I was very surprised how much vegetation there is everywhere, and I wasn't expecting all the hills we had to walk up.  

This huge statue's arm moves up and down as he hammers.

The famous Gum Wall....it was stinky

Street musicanis

Chad tried to photo bomb it but was a little late :)

I love Jaxon's handles.
 Every time Brian would put Jaxon an his shoulders he would hold onto Brian's ears

Street art

Really cool street magician

We saw lots of jellyfish and a starfish in the water

It would have been cool to take a tour on one of these

 Visiting Snoquamie Falls 

Snoquamie Peak from Chad's house

So tired he is sleeping halfway off the bed

Visiting the elementary school playground.
We enjoyed a break from our walk on our way to the grocery store.
We were able to pick lots of wild blackberries

 Visiting the ocean

It was kind of stormy the only day we decided to drive 2 hours to the ocean beach.  It was still fun though.

Brian caught a crab on the beach

He let it go 

Jaxon loved playing in the sand

Checking out the water

It was really COLD!

Finding seashells and sand dollars

The seagulls decided to hangout with us, which was fine, until.....

A dog scared them!! Look out!!

Autumn really wanted to make a sandcastle.  At first only daddy would help
(no on else wanted to get their fingers dirty)

But after seeing how much fun we were having, more joined in on the fun

We decided to make a mermaid instead.

Good job!

She even has a seashell bra :)

Heading back to North Bend...everyone was tired

You Pick

Jaxon kept trying to grab some

Brookie and Bryson were the only ones to come with us.
Everyone else wanted to stay back and play video games..
what fun is that?

Still trying....

So daddy handed him one...

Mmmmmmm

Going back for more....

Got some!!

Such a beautiful place

Heading to find more sea life :)

Jaxon kept himself entertained by throwing rocks

Tyler caught a crab

Hunter thought it was pretty stinky down there and hung out on the rocks

Seatte

So much for a group shot :)

A little better.... Hunter decided he was tired and wanted to stay in the car :)

Jaxon got a little bored on the way back...so he started to make funny faces...

And got a little hungry...

He decided to suck on his toe

 Dance Off!!
The kids were playing the XBOX Kinect game JustDance4. So everyone decided to join in on some fun and lots of laughter.  It was dark in the room so my puctures aren't great, kind of blurry, but still fun to look at :)

Heading Home

Everyone was sad that it was time to go home...we also weren't looking forward to the long drive.  We decided to stay in Boise that night.  Since Ryan and his family live there we invited them over for a swim at the hotel.  I wasn't going to be able to see them that Sunday for the baby blessing so this was a great way to see everybody.

Ryan, Bennett, and Heather

Baby Eden

Showing off her flipping capabilities :)

SPLASH!!

Brooklyn wanted to also

It was a great trip.  But it was also nice to get home.  The kids can't wait to do it again :)
