Jaxon's 6 month appointment

Jaxon had his 6 month appointment today and all is well. He weighs just over 18 pounds which makes him in the 60th percentile, and he is 28 and 1/4 inches long which puts him in the 94th percentile. He is growing well and we are so happy that he is healthy! He had the H1N1 shot today as well as the flu shot and all the other shots they get at 6 months. I always hate it when he gets shots, it is so sad, but he is usually cuddly after because he doesn't feel good - and I like cuddling with him.

We have a lot going on the next few days so I will post pictures of all our fun parties and activities after Christmas. Jaxon will be playing baby Jesus in 2 natavities this year which I am so excited about!

6 months

Yesterday was Jaxon's 6 month birthday (half birthday). I can't believe he is 6 months old already! Part of me feels like time has just flown by, and the other part of me feels like it was just yesterday that we welcomed him into the world.

He has brought so much joy into our lives and we are so lucky he is our son!!! We had a little party yesterday for him! It was fun - here are just a few pictures. :)

 This last picture doesn't really have to do with his party - I just thought it was cute - he was helping Dan with a paper for finals haha :)

Family Pictures

We had our first family pictures taken a little while ago by my cousin Colby. He is a photographer, and an AMAZING one at that. He was able to capture the cutest moments our family had. I am so happy with the way these pictures turned out! If anyone is looking for a photographer, check out his website at http://www.colbykochphotography.com/

There are several more awesome pictures, but these are some of our favorites!

Halloween

So I know Halloween was about a month- but I never posted pictures and I feel bad because Jaxon looked adorable and Dan carved a mean pumpkin - so I am posting them now.

We went and got a pumpkin Halloween day and carved it before all the trick-or-treaters came around. And if you can't tell by the pictures, I was little red riding hood, Dan was the wolf - and Jaxon was an adorable bunny lol. Dan was a bunny his frist Halloween, so we thought we would keep that a tradition so Jaxon  wore the same bunny ears his dad did. Awwww how cute :)

Fall

Where did fall go? This is my favorite time of year and I feel like it gets shorter and shorter every year. We were going to drive through the mountains to see the leaves a few days ago and it was snowing in the mountains so we decided not to. SNOWING! That is for winter, not fall! I am not ready for winter yet - so please please please fall, stay a little longer!
