Oh my goodness, where has the year gone? This time last year I was ripping down the Christmas decorations and preparing for a baby to enter our house. We were frantically buying supplies and getting people in order just in case I went into labor before my scheduled date. Has it really been a year?
Okay since Jax does not has an appointment till next month I weighed him myself.
He's 21.5 lbs.
I don't know how tall because he won't stand still long to measure him. :-) He's on the verge of walking. A week ago he took his first step but it was more of a "I'm falling and I don't want to hit the ground" step. LOL Last night he took 3 steps but again it was more falling than forward momentum. So in the next 4 weeks I say he'll be walking with purpose just in time to turn 1. :-) Until then, he's hit lighting speed with crawling. It's amazing how fast he can get across the room now to something we don't want him to get. :-)
He's doing very well holding his own cup now. Santa brought him this cool new cup that is slightly angled before he even picks it up, which helps because he is lazy and didn't like lifting his arms too high :-) So now he's drinking all kinds of stuff from it. This will also be helpful come next month when I ditch the bottle. Jax is also eating more table food like cheese, diced fruits, canned peas and green beans and potatoes. We haven't tried meat yet but I'm sure we will this month. He still likes his Mama's cooking but is wanting more real food that the mashes I make.
Let's see he almost has is top 2 front teeth in. There is just the tiniest of gum over them. Some time this week they will pop through.
Other than that he's enjoying all his new toys from Santa and family. His favorite seems to be an Elmo remote that Hayden bought him for Christmas. He's also turning to quite the fashion hog with all of his new clothes as well.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and Santa was nice to everyone :)
I have been behind a bit on updates and pictures and I'm sorry. But with all the festivities of the holiday I've been a bit busy. We have a TON of pictures to share and I will have them up in the next few days.
Love to all and a Happy New Year!

Hayden's project
Annual Downtown trip
Jaxson's first train ride.
Hayden met a friend :-)
Nana and her guys.
Enjoying our meal at the famous Walnut Room at Macy's/Marshall Field's
Jax enjoying his meal as well.
The Macy's Tree 2008 designed by Tommy Hillfiger this year. Very traditional and nice.
Hayden in front of the windows. I have to say I did not like them this year. There weren't as many as year past and it wasn't a theme or fairy tail. Very confusing but still pretty.
This was taken in the lobby of one of the downtown buildings. It was just so cool and I knew it would make a great picture.
German ornaments at the German Market in Daley Plaza.
Every year I stop at this booth and look at these beautiful lights. I would love to buy one but I have no clue where I would put one.

Amen to that!
A friend sent this to me and I've seen it before but as Hayden gets older I really see the wisdom in this song

After 40 years they can still be cute
Village Tree Lighting
We go every year to the Village Tree lighting to watch them light the big tree near the Village Hall. The cookies and hot chocolate seal the deal.
The boys and Santa. Jax just kept staring at him... like who the heck is this and why am I on his lap? Check out his eyes. :-)Okay really he didn't cry until Pa poked him in the nose to get him to look at the camera.Hayden and Jax all bundled up for the 11` weather.
The reflection is from his rain/wind shield that goes over his stroller.

The "other" tree
Kind of like the "other" white meat :)Tim and Hayden lovingly adorn the other tree in our home. The Star Wars Tree
As most of you know Tim is a Star Wars nut and has passed it on to Hayden, this is no exception.
Jax got in on it this year. He loves playing with Hayden's Star Wars toys so I feel I have lost him to the cult too. :-)Just to prove that 98% of the ornaments on this tree are all Star Wars ornaments.

Trimming the Tree
We decided to "try" the family tree in the family room. We changed it's location to the corner of the room to have protection from 2 walls, the TV center, and the loveseat. We're hoping that is "Jax proof" enough. There is also a table in front of it to block him and the cat.
It was a fun evening and loved watching Jax with all the lights. I'll admit he sat in him jumper most of the time but he was happy.
Daddy and Hayden hanging some Jax friendly ornaments.
Here's Jax getting in on the action.
