Santa Lives...

Hayden came running in the family room, "Mom, Mom. I know where Santa lives!!"
Mom: "Yeah, he lives in the North Pole."
Hayden: "No, he lives in New Mexico."
Mom: "New Mexico? No Hayden, he lives at the North Pole."
Hayden: " No Mom, let me show you."

So we run to his room and look at he very generalized map on the back of his door. He points at New Mexico and says,
"See he lives in New Mexico" (pointing at Santa Fe)

I try not to laugh hysterically as I explain the difference.

2-month check-up


Jaxson had his dreaded 2-month check-up on Friday. I say dreaded because he got the first of his immunizations and for me it was terrible. He didn't know it was coming, I did. He did handle them like a champ and calmed down almost as soon as I picked him up. Mom was still a little shaky :) His thighs were sore the rest of the day and he was very cranky, when awake, but still gave us 7 hours of sleep last night. Woo Hoo!

Good news he now weighs 11lbs 10oz and is 23 inches tall. He's in the 50% percentile for height and weight. Just a normal average baby, unlike his brother who exceeded expectations in both categories. Jax is still expected to exceed expectations, just in other ways. He's a happy smiley baby on his way to being chubby.

His reflux seems to have been taken care of by changing formula. Luckily for us we were able to use the less expensive formula other than the one the doctor recommended. $25/can v.s. $15/can is a HUGE difference when your a one income family.

The all dreaded flat spot on his head is nothing more than the shape of his head. :) The pediatrician actually laughed at me because we've been so worried. He said the plates in his head will catch up to one another and create a nice round head. Although we still have to be careful to change positions of his head every now and then, just not so worried anymore.

Over all a great visit and nothing but good news. They have changed the visit schedule since Hayden was little and now we don't go back till Jaxson is 4 months old. Unless something happens of course but let's hope not.

The start of something new

Happy Easter 2008!

We decided to start a place where family and friends can visit and see how the boys, Tim and I are doing day-to-day. Also my need for mature conversation should be fulfilled by posting here. Anytime I get my fill of SpongeBob Squarepants, Ben 10, or nursery rhymes I can hop on here and hope another adult out there is listening. :)
Feel free to comment and let us know what you think.

Hayden is on Spring Break right now so you think I would be getting a lot done. WRONG! Both the boys have colds, Tim and I are working on sinus infections and coughs. I can not wait for the weather to warm up enough to open these windows and set the germs free!! Clean from top to bottom and Lysol the heck out of everything else. We are so tired of the illnesses in this house.
Hopefully Hayden will feel better since he has a birthday party to attend this weekend and I hope Jaxson's congestion clears up because this is one milestone we didn't need to hit, the "first cold." Hopefully tomorrow the germs, er I mean boys will let me get some chores done.
