Happy Baby!

Jessica and I have snapped a couple of great pictures of Jaxson Lane. His personality continues to develop every single day!

Monday, May 26, 2008

Jaxson is changing so much lately. He is starting to develop a definite personality and the grunts, laughs, and giggles continue to emerge from his little body.

He is almost 11 pounds already and is right at 24 inches long....GROWING TOO FAST for Mom and Dad!

We are enjoying him so much. We love having him here!

Jaxson Goes to Galveston

Since we were off of work today, Jessica and I decided to get Jaxson out of the house again. So, we loaded up the car and decided to head towards Galveston. We mostly just rode around the island and looked at things, but we absolutely had to get out of the car and take a picture of Jaxson on the beach! (See Below)

Jaxson's First Lunch Outing

Jessica and I were brave on Sunday...we ventured out of the house and took Jaxson out for lunch! We went to a locally ran seafood joint down in Kemah (Captain Wick's) and treated ourselves to some jumbo fried shrimp. Luckily, we had a nice shaded seat outside on the deck. The breeze was just enough to keep Mr. Jaxson snoozing the entire time we ate (thank goodness...we had already discussed how to covertly exit the premises if Jaxson decided to throw a fit! HAHA!).

FIRST TRIP TO EAST TEXAS!

Jaxson made his first trip to East Texas this past week! Jaxson slept most of the way home. So, the drive was much better than we anticipated.

Jaxson was introduced to Cushing and Rusk over the 3-day stay. He was able to meet a few new faces and get re-acquainted with some family that he hasn't seen since his birth!

Lavenders Visit

Aunt Pat, Uncle Richard, Steven, and Cheryl all came by the house last Saturday to meet the new addition to our family. Jaxson was a little fussy, but, all in all, we had a really nice visit.

Jaxson's First Neighborhood Stroll

Jessica and I loaded Jaxson up this afternoon and took him for a stroll up and down the street. His big, blue eyes were wide open and he was really paying attention to things! We didn't keep him out too long though! Just think...it won't be long until he will be playing in the dirt and throwing a baseball!

Dad is ready!

Rusk Visitor

Mrs. Betty Horton was on her way to her Bay House in Galveston today and decided to stop to meet our newest edition. We had a great visit with Betty and her sister. Jaxson really liked her! He was "out cold" the entire time she held him!

While Jaxson and I were sitting on the couch, Jessie decided to snap a few pictures. The two below were really good ones (at least I think - haha!). Enjoy

Aunt Erin has been to Houston!

Jessica's sister-in-law, Erin, was in Houston this week for business purposes. She came to the house tonight for dinner and to meet Jaxson. As you can tell, they both seemed to get along quite well!

Is that a Smile?

We were going through some of the pictures from last night's 2-Week Old Birthday Party and found the one below. I cropped it down to where you could really see Jaxson's face.

Maybe it's just me, but that little cowboy looks like he is HAPPY! He loves his mama!

First Smile?

Jaxson's 2-Week Old Birthday Party!

Jaxson turned 2-weeks old today! YEAH!

At exactly 7:08 PM we sang happy birthday to him. Unfortunately, Jessica, "E", and I had to enjoy the chocolate cup cakes without him! HA!

More Pictures of Jaxson!

As you can imagine, Jaxson has seen lots of flashing lights lately (from all the cameras around the house!), but he is adjusting well....perhaps we are preparing him for a career in Hollywood! HAHA!

Anyway, below are some more pictures of the big guy! Enjoy!

Jaxson is 11 days old!

Jaxson is such a blessing!

Jessica and I have really enjoyed having him around. Yes, the sleep has been minimal, but when he looks up at you with those big blue eyes it is easy to forget about all the fussing and crying!

My family was down for the 1st week after his birth and Jessica's Mother is here with us now. Everyone has been such a huge help making sure both Jaxson and Jessica are well taken care of... More stuff will be posted soon. STAY TUNED!

Over 24 hours since birth...

Wow....talk about worn smooth out.

I am so tired....I can't even imagine how Jessica must feel....as bad as me times 100 probably wouldn't be close.

Jaxson has been great so far...not too fussy and pretty much a joy for everyone around. If he does cry there seems to be a good reason for it. Hope this holds true for the months to come.

There will be more pictures posted soon. I plan to get some out there with Jessica with Jaxson real soon.
