Jaxson has been keeping us busy! So busy, that in the last 3 weeks, i've tried to sit here numerous times to compose a blog and haven't been able to because....Jaxson is mobile! Well, he's been mobile for a while, when he started steam rolling like 3 1/2 months ago...but now he's crawling - all over. He started really trying about 1 1/2 months ago. We knew it wouldn't be long because he was doing the scoot-scoot on his hands and knees, and the army crawl. Then about 2 weeks ago BAM! he started crawling. Now he's a pro. He's fast too. He likes to search for tiny treasures or wires and plugs - keeps us on our toes!
Jaxson has also learned how to play patty cake. It is truly the cutest thing. He'll clap when we sing to him or when he does something he thinks is really cool - he'll give himself a round of applause.
Here is a video of the first day he started crawling. Ryan yelled for me to get the camera, so we got a little of it on film. In the meantime, there have been many more hours of crawling footage...so keep an eye out for that!
In addition there have been some other exciting new developments - April has been an eventful month. First off, Jaxson's diet is becoming wider and wider. In addition to breastmilk and formula, Jaxson eats all kinds of things - Avocado, sweet potato, bannana, yogurt, squash, mango, pears, carrots, peas, and oatmeal. His favorite so far are pears and peas - he LOVES those.

Secondly, Jaxson got his first two pearly whites! And yes, they are sharp. Believe me, I know. I thought Jaxson started teething like 4 months ago, when the drool factory was in full force, and I thought, humph, this teething thing is cake....I was wrong. About 1 week before the teeth popped up, Jaxson got unusually fussy, sleep patterns changed, and he had red painful swollen gums - poor guy. To get through it, he sucked on Ice (in a mesh bag with handle so he can hold it - cool baby device), frozen bananna, and icy cold teething rings. As soon as those puppies poked through, we were in the clear! Now only 18 more to go, ugh.
So yes, a lot has happened in the last month. Jaxson continues to grow and change, and we love it!
