In Ottawa @ the Park

Last week we were in Ottawa for one last visit before my parents move to Edmonton. There was a little park down the street that I think we took Jax to everyday. He loved the sand but his favorite thing to do was to push his little stroller around.

Yes even mommy joined in the fun!

I'm a Big Kid Now!

So a while ago Jaxon suddenly developed this intense fear of this crib. You couldnt even walk into the room without him freaking out... made sleeping a real chore... so we decided to convert the crib into a toddler bed... all we did was take off one of the rails and now he is thrilled. I guess my guy just loves his independance. I was hoping to keep him caged up as long as possible... but he would not have that. He loves climbing in and out on his own.. and he has even figured out the joy of jumping on the bed!

More Canada Day

Jaxon's Favorite animals are dogs! He gets so excited at the sight of them. Lucky for him there were a few puppies around to play with.

This is Jaxon's Little girl Friend Bailey. Jaxon just loves those Miller kids!

OH CANADA

Look at our Patriotic little Man! Thanks Grandma Pisko for the sweet outfit!

We went to a Canada BBQ at the church and they had a petting zoo. Jaxon LOVES animals.. so he spent most of his time in there.. but there were too many animals for him. He didnt get scared but he would go to pet one and then another one would catch his eye and he has to chase it and pet it. Mommy doesnt like animals... so I let daddy take him in.

Splish Splash

There is a Water Park near our house.. so one hot day this summer (there hasnt been many lately) some of us moms took our little ones to play... Jaxon wasnt too impressed with the water at first. But now he loves it!

This is Jax with his little buddy Charles

And or course Jax has to do his own thing... while all the kids play in the water his favorite thing to do is swing!

Asleep at the Plate

Some nights, Jaxon just gets too tired to eat. It used to be very rare that Jaxon would sleep anywhere without being held or cuddled to sleep, but he's fallen asleep in his high chair probably half a dozen times in the last few months. One time he was still chewing while he was sleeping.

He made sure to guard his Tator Tots so no one would steal them.

What a Sucker

Jaxon has finally figured out how to use a straw! We were in Edmonton for the weekend with Amanda's Dad and he took us out to Kelsey's for Lunch. We ordered Jaxon a kid's meal and he come with this cool cup and even cooler color changing straw. It took him a minute but he got the straw down pat and filled up on juice so that he wouldnt eat his meal!

Pool side with Jaxon and Bailey

We bought Jaxon a little pool for out on our deck. He loves it and we had Bailey Miller over to play in it too.

Splash Splash Splash

Jaxon is so funny. He gets all giddy while in the pool and will often stop playing and just sit there and laugh and laugh and laugh. One of these days we will fall over he is laughing so hard. I love it!

Jaxon sure does love those Miller kids. He was always trying to hug Bailey and she would say "Hey, Hey, Hey" and try and push him away.

This is the rainbow shade for the pool. Bailey thought it would be fun to play Peek-a-Boo with and pop her head through it. What a Cutie!

Full of Service

It was our Family's term to clean the church. We want Jaxon to learn early the joy of service so we brought him alone and he loved joining in on all the chores!

Fun with Grandpas

Jaxon Loves going to Okotoks and playing with Grandpa Pisko

He really loves to take apart any tower he builds with the Mega Blocks

Jaxon's Favorite thing to do with Grandpa Nelson.... Snuggle in and take a nap!

Ain't No body Here but us Chickens

The house we stayed at when we went to Raymond for Amanda's Cousin, Jazmin's wedding had chickens in the backyard. Looks like Jaxon will take after his city girl mom. He was really not impressed by those little noisy creatures. They are better as nuggets eh Buddy?!?

Yogourt and His Box--Jaxon's True Loves

So there are two things in this world that Jaxon just adores (besides mommy and daddy of course) they are
1) Yogourt--Which you can see he has had hard time feeding himself... He can use the spoon but thinks his fingers work better

and the other love...

2) His Box. Amanda's Aunt Marnie sent them home with a little care package after Jaz's wedding and it was sent in this box. Jax loves it. He will grab a book and climb on in and sit there while Amanda does the dishes of cooks dinner or bakes.. he just loves sitting in his box.

Swimming At West Edmonton Mall

So a few months ago (March 29th to be exact) we took Jaxon up to Edmonton to visit Grandpa Nelson and to go swimming at the Waterpark in West Edmonton Mall. As you can see he LOVES the water! The little kiddie pool was really warm actually!

Jaxon and his "I'm going to cause trouble look" He has this look alot.

Jaxon Baskethead

One day while helping Amanda do some laundry, Jaxon decided to help her out by carrying the laundy basket for her. He was such a great helper

His arms got tired of carrying the basket, so Jaxon decided to carry it a little differently. He soon discovered that the basket acted like a helmet, and it became his new favorite thing to walk around with the basket on his head.

Jaxon was so excited about his new headgear that he wanted to show off for Tim who was doing dishes

Now Jaxon likes to put pretty much anything over his head and walk around with it... garbage cans, tupperware containers... you name it, he'll wear it.

Crazy Hairdoo, watching the Wii

Here are a few pictures of Jaxon with a crazy hairdoo after he had a bath. We spiked it up nice an spikey.

This picture really shows off the nice hair style.

Whenever Amanda or I play some Wii Sports or something, Jaxon becomes just mesmerised with it. He will sit on the floor and grab his pretend Wii remote and will just sit and stare at the TV totally oblivious to anything around him. It's actually quite funny.
