Jaxon loves to hold Bridget. So when he does he annouces that he wants to & then runs to the couch in preparation. This time after I set her next to him he said take a picture.

Potty training master!
Jaxon is totally awesome. 2 weeks ago Jax finally decided he was ready to start using the potty.

Sunday Montage (from a couple weeks ago)
Its so heart warming to watching Jaxon play with Bridget. She LOVES him and is so content when he is near. When I think that she might be annoyed with him smothering her...she starts to giggle. Jaxon adores her and is very attentive to her needs. He likes to soothe and comfort her. He gets her toys and tells her..."it be alright sister, it be alright" He's such a sweet boy. Its amazing how understanding he is at such a young age of her needs and when I need to sometimes cut things short with him to help or feed her. I am very lucky to have such an awesome little boy.

Its not halloween
haha, so finally something other than my Halloween pictures :)....I've had this typed for over a week and am now posting it...(I'll post the pictures soon at least I'm getting this part done :) )
Its amazing how having two kids just seems to fall into place. Before having Bridget I used to wonder how it was going to be having 2 of my own. (like all the time) Its not too bad. I hope this is how it is as you keep building a family. I am pretty blessed to have such easy going kids. Having a manageable routine helps... the days when I get a call that we are going to show the house and it throws off the routine...I get stressed. But again luckily, Jaxon is a trooper and is content watching Cars, Toy Story, or Incredibles while I scurry around the house getting it ready. Bridget is the sweetest chubby bunny ever! We all LOVE her! Lately I have been having anxiety about not giving her a middle name. (I know kinda silly) But originally I wasn't planning on giving this little girl a middle name and then when it happened that she was born on my grandmas birthday...I thought it would have been fun to give her my grandma name (Roma) as the middle or a nickname that my dad called me and my grandma (Jean). At the hospital I hadn't decided yet and it was making me sweat...literally. The nurse kept saying that I had to figure it out 'cause she had to finish the paperwork stuff in order to check me out. I found out after the fact that I didn't have to finalize her name so quickly. I was so torn, with all the excitement of her arrival and the stress of finalizing her name...I couldn't decide. At the time I was happy without her having a middle name, because I didn't have a middle name, my mom, Wills mom didn't either. But off and on over the last couple of months I keep thinking I should have made Jean her middle name. I've looked to see if I can change it, but I think I have to have to file it with the court and pay a bunch of money...so I think I just have to live with it. It will make a good story for her when she gets older, that her mom was having hot flashes over her middle name...how silly, right? Its pretty cool that she and Jaxon were both born on my Dads parents birthdays. (Jaxon on my grandpas and Bridget on my grandmas)
We still have our house for sale, we've been close to a couple of offers but have lost out to houses in Richland...errrr. I hate this waiting game. I keep the house pretty clean, but when I get a call to show it, I'm pretty OCD on getting it sparkly clean. The positive side is that it seems like we have professional cleaners coming all the time, but really it from the sweat of my own brow. Before we were selling the house I used to tell Jaxon we had to clean up the house to make the house "Happy." So now when I get the house super clean, he always says, "wow mom, the house is happy!...you make it happy mom" it sounds so cute from him. :)
Speaking of cute things Jaxon says...getting ready for a nap, after we've already read a bunch of books, "read me elmo book mom," "Jax, its time for you nap, no more books" "Just read me the elmo book mom, last one." "you want me to read you the elmo one?" "ok, you can mom."
With Will Christmas eve @4 am "Jaxon you need to go back to bed" "but daddy I can't...the presents!"
Whenever I ask Jaxon what he wants to eat he says, "just chocolate" or "Just cookies"....hmmm, I wonder where he got that from. I think I need to be a better example.
Kids are so stinkin' cute, some of the cutest things he says happen when I shouldn't laugh or smile. I love he is starting to do imaginative play on his own. He likes play duh alot and one day he was flying a piece around saying "come on, vamanos, you want me to take you to your family?"
We spent Christmas with Will's family on the Oregon Coast @ Seaside, it was so much more fun than we expected...we had sunny days and fun people to play with. The pool was outdoors and heated so, jaxon "just" wanted to go swimming all the time. We had fun playing on the beach. Jaxon loved walking up to the waves and then running away from them with Alex and Beth. Santa found us there and brought all of us exciting new things. Jaxon's favorite toy was his buzz lightyear!! After that nothing else mattered. When we got home and got out his other toys he was super excited all over again. It was great to have Derrick, Michelle and their two kids around for a little bit. Jaxon LOVED playing with his cousins!!! He can't wait till they come again soon. Too funny and kinda gross...Jaxon and Daphne were eating cutie oranges together and she had juice dripping down her chin and he licked it off! "Jaxon, don't lick her face!" They thought it was funny.
It seems like a lot of blogging post worthy things have happened since halloween, I have just been too lazy and BUSY to post them. so here they are: (pictures coming soon)
