Say, "Mama."

OK, I had to post this.  Kim has been trying to get Jax to say "Mama" for months and he still only says "Dada."  It's a good thing he's so cute.

St. Patrick's Day Parade and Springtime

Well, the St' Patty's Day parade in Chicago is usually the weekend before the 17th.  That put it this past Saturday.  We were all going to go downtown, but Bonnie, who was going to watch Jax, came down with a terrible cold so Kim stayed behind and spent the day with the little guy and I went on to the parade with our buds.  It was a lot of fun and I got to take some great pictures.

Today was the 3rd nice day in a row.  Kim is off work on Monday's so we took Jaxon to the park and let him swing and play on some of the equipment.  He loves the sunshine.  He always turns his head into the sun until he sneezes and then goes right back.  It was a lot of fun taking pictures of him outside.  I can't wait till we get to do things like this more often.

I hope you like all the pictures.

Jaxon Update

Ok, I know that it has been ages since the last update, but there really hasn't been much going on that is photo worthy.  Even so, Jax is growing and changing by the minute.  I have looked into ways to stop the process, but it seems inevitable that he is turning into a little boy.  He can crawl like a mad man now and is even pulling himself up ont he furniture.  I know that means walking is in the not-so-distant-future.  There is one problem, though.  When he pulls himself up into a standing position, he doesn't seem to realize that his rear really isn't that far from the ground and the idea of losing his balance and/or falling really scares him.  This means that when he pulls himself up, he is stuck and rather than just biting the bullet and plopping down, he yells until someone comes and sits him down.  It's like a cat stuck in a tree.  I'm hoping this phase will pass soon.  Here are some pictures of the little dude.  Hope you enjoy!

AHHHHHHH!
