Jaxson's New Bouncer

We had to evacuate for Hurricane Ike this past week. While the event was rather stressful, Jaxson did get to see our East Texas families! As a matter of fact, he was able to meet Taylor and Zack for the first time. They came to Cushing before the Hurricane rolled through!

Lewie and Elaine bought Jaxson a new bouncer. We took it to Cushing to show everyone how much he enjoyed jumping!

Papa Joe and Grannie Came to Town...

My Mom and Dad came to Houston this weekend. No doubt about it, Jaxson had plenty of attention!

We had a great time visiting and playing with the big guy....pictures are below.

First Corley Crew Family Vacation!

We ventured away from Houston for our first-ever family weekend vacation! We drove south down to Rockport, Texas and stayed at the Lighthouse Inn. We had a great time! We didn't do anything very exciting, but we did take full advantage of playing with Jaxson!

Rockport is very soothing and has lots of local eateries and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel. So, we would just load Jaxson into the stroller and take off! Pictures of our weekend are below.

Jessica and Jaxson at the Boiling Pot Cajun Seafood Restaurant. Notice how they both needed bibs!

All the walls and ceilings were covered with customer artwork. So, Jessica created a tribute to Jaxson to tell the world (or at least Rockport) that he had been to the Boiling Pot!

Chicks Dig Him

He was asked "why do chicks dig you?" In response, he stated, "because of these guns!" and began flexing his biceps!

Early on Saturday morning! He awoke happy and ready to play!

Sand Plant Pictures

This past weekend we rode with Lewie and Elaine up to the Lewie's sand plant. He and his business partners are putting the finishing touches on the machinery and equipment before the plant "goes live." It was a very impressive facility and looks like it will give Jaxson the biggest "sand box" in the world!

I discovered how to grab my toes this past week!

I can't crawl just yet, but I'm strong enough to almost hold myself up!

Sunday Lunch

Jessica's parents have been down this weekend for a visit. They have had a lot of fun with Jaxson!

We went to BJ's Restaurant today for lunch and Jessica's mother, Elaine, snapped this picture of us before we loaded back into the car. Jessica jokingly quoted the 80s band Timbuk3 when she stated, "Jaxson's future is so bright, he has to wear shades..."

More July Jaxson Pics!

Jessica and I had a nice day at the house today. Jaxson was in a great mood and kept us entertained for most of the day. He is such a happy little fella. We are truly blessed to have him! See below for some fun pictures!

Playing with Dad

As soon as a camera gets pulled out, Jaxson goes from happy to very serious...

We discovered that Jaxson loves to fly like Superman!

Does it get any better than that little face?

Something was funny!

It's a bird, it's a plane, IT'S JAXSON!

Jaxson is 3 Months Old Today

Well, today started out pretty normal...coffee, news, the sounds of Jaxson discovering how to make different sounds. Then, we decided to give Papa Joe and Grannie a call to let them hear how much Jaxson was talking. After Jaxson put on a show and before we hung up the phone I said, "well, you guys could be in Houston by lunch if you decide you want to see him."

The next thing we knew they were calling us saying that they were already on the road! They made the 3-hour drive without a problem and were here to help Jaxson celebrate his 3-month old birthday! YEAH!

Jaxson's First Trip to the Grocery Store

We took Jaxson on his first ever Grocery Store adventure last night! Jaxson toured the aisles of Kroger and was mesmerized by the people, bright colors, and background music playing. However, after about 15 minutes of entertainment he went sound asleep! HAHA!

July 4th Weekend

We went to East Texas for the July 4th Holiday weekend. Jaxson was showered with attention from all of our family members. We finally remembered that we had the video camera with us in Cushing one afternoon, so we took a few shots of him trying to talk to everyone.
