4 weeks ago...
Four weeks ago, I can easily say was the best day of our lives. Jaxson has truly blessed us. We can't get enough of him! This last month has been amazing. It really has gone by so quick. Everyone tells you the time will fly, and it's so true.
We had another doctor visit yesterday, Jaxson weighed in at 10 lbs 5 oz. He's right where he should be, in the 50th percentile for weight for his age. His cheeks are cute and chubby, and his thighs have a few little baby rolls, but really his weight is coming from his length. He's measuring 23 inches, which puts him in the 75th percentile for length. He also had a "sticky eye" (made me so sad for him). The doctor recommended putting breast milk in it, and so we have, and it's already much better. That breast milk is crazy good stuff.
He still is amazing us with his strength. Hi lifts his head and looks around. He kicks his feet and likes to push up with them. We gave him a rattle and he likes to hold it and move it around.
He is a very vocal little boy too. He makes little squeaks and ooohs. He even said "Mommy"..... just kidding. But he does make little sounds that actually sound like words with the cutest little faces, it's pretty funny.
Here are some photos of things we did this week.

We took a walk down westcliff. The cold water classic was going on so there were lots of people to show Jaxson off to. We got him all dressed up for his big outing.
Yes, we had another blissful week with our little love.

Jaxson's Third Week!
We took Jaxson to the Doctor yesterday to check in and get him weighed. He's a whopping
9lbs 5oz! The boy is growing by the day. He's a strong boy too. He should be crawling any day now. Seriously...he lifts his head and does a little crawl when he's on daddy's chest. I know, it will be a while before he goes mobile, but he's definitely a strong little guy. His belly button thingy came off and healed, so we got to take our first real bath. He LOVES the bath!
Jaxson is a very good baby. He lets us know when he needs something, and when we he gets it, he's usually quite content. He's definitely been more alert this week, having several periods throughout the day where he just wants to look around. You can see when he focuses in on something and then he makes the funniest faces.....so cute. He sleeps well too. I mean for a 3 week old. I would say we've been averaging about 5 hrs a night - 1 hr here, 2 hrs there. He's been pretty predictable which is nice. Of course, there are times when it's hard - more like hard for me. I'm constantly looking in the baby book every 5 minutes to make sure like gas, and spitting up is normal. Ryan re-assures me it is. I need to learn to worry a little less - I am working on that.
Let's see, we had a few field trips, but not many. I do have to say this kid loves car rids. We took him to the beach, but it was short lived. It was really windy, not a place for a little baby. Maybe we'll try next week. We also went to Grandma and Grandpa Webber's place, Jaxson got a nice long nap in Grandma's arms.
We had some visitors too - Grandpa and Grandma Hoye. They brought us a yummy dinner (and a fruit tart from the Farm..yummy).
They brought us some awesome pictures they took on Jaxson's Birthday. I'll post a few. I will also post some pics from this last week. We have a lot of pictures! We will probably be downloading them on another website specially for pictures.....I'll keep you updated when we do.

Jaxson's Second Week
So, We are going to try and keep up on this blog thing. We got the idea from our friends Jessica and Nate who just had baby Nigel in June. They live in New Mexico, so it's cool it check out his blog from time to time and see him growing. Actually we got a visit from Jessica and Nigel....Jaxson's first friend! Nigel and Jaxson liked to scream in unison....or as Jessica put it, they were exercising their lungs.
We also had a few other visitors - Ryans mom Elaine came over and made us soup and pumpkin muffins. It was great to have a nice home cooked meal - Thanks Grandma Elaine!
Also, my parents came over and brought us dinner ( a big fat steak for me!), and loved on Jaxson for a while - Thanks Papa Joe and Mema!.....or whatever he ends up calling you.
We have been holed up at home, getting used to being parents, changing diapers, staring at Jaxson - you know watching him breath, and sleep and make funny faces, and also working on nursing....which has been a little harder then expected. We have been on a tight feeding schedule, which hasn't made it easy to connect with the outside world. All your calls, and messages have been great and supportive and we truly appreciate them all. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks we will be able to have more visitors and reach out and share Jaxson a little bit more.
We have managed to stage some photo shoots with Jaxson. This one we did especially for his Auntie. He misses her, and wanted to put on a special outfit for her.....green babies rule!
Here are some other photos of Jaxson from his second week of his precious life....we love you Jaxson!
