Jaxton is 6 months!!


Time is never going to slow down.
I've realized this but have not yet accepted it.
But nevertheless my baby is 6 months old!!! 

He had his 6 month checkup yesterday and here are his stats:

Weight- 16.1 lbs- 25%
Length- 28''- 90%
H.C- 45cm- 75%

So to the lady in the grocery store who asked me last week if my baby was in the "obese category for his weight", NO. 
Dr. Jacobs proclaimed Jaxton to be delightful, I agreed and said he is an angel because he is. He's such an easy baby!
There were no issues or concerns that we had for the checkup, just to start stage 2 foods & keep doing what we're doing. 

AT 6 MONTHS JAXTON:

Wears 6-9 month clothes easily. I keep forgetting how old he is and was trying to squeeze him into 3mo clothes but we just cleaned out the closet & now it's full of clothes that fit.

He sleeps at night from 8:15is-6:30ish. It's glorious. Sometimes he will wake up and want a pacifier about 5am, but since he started sleeping on his belly (his idea, not mine) he usually sleeps soundly. We just started having him sleep in the crib in Preston's room at night instead of in the pack & play in Jimmy's room and he's doing good! I think Preston likes the arrangement more then Jaxton. 

He rolls alllllllllllllll around. Belly to back, back to belly, and will now scootch around in circles. Crawling is in his near future. 

Is a GREAT eater. The only solid food he doesn't like at this point is just plain rice cereal. It makes him gag. But the Oatmeal kind he is ok with. He even had pea's the other night and was fine with it. He eats 1 jar for breakfast (w/ Oatmeal rice cereal) and 2 jars at night before bed. We'll be adding in lunch feeding this week. He drinks about 26-27oz of formula a day, which is right about where he should be. 

He has teeth! Or a tooth... soon to be teeth! His bottom right tooth finally has surfaced and the left one will be joining in soon. And my friends, they are SHARP. 

Still has blue eyes. I love it. And 2 dimples that I insist on seeing regularly. 

He ADORES Preston. He wants to be wherever Preston is, and involved with him, or just watch and smile at him. He laughs more at Preston then at anyone else. 


He gets bed head. 

He loves to stick out his tounge. 

He got his first big bruise, courtesy of Preston who thought banging a block on Jaxtons forehead a few times was necessary. 





LOVES to take baths. I just started having him take a bath at the same time as Preston and that just doubled the fun for him. 

Baby Num Num rice wafer crackers are a fun treat. 


All too soon it will be November and we'll be talking about how Jaxton is 1 already.
But till then we'll continue to snuggle and cuddle and laugh at this little baby.

Wow I cant believe he is 6 months already! He is so cute! Does his hair have a red tint to it now? Or is that just the lighting in the picture?
