A New Stage

Jaxon has entered a new stage of play - pretend play! It is adorable. First, he layed all his dinosaurs down to go night, night. When they woke up, he gathered them around the bowl and put a piece of cereal in it. Then, they all went to sit in the rocking chair. It is very sweet to watch...

He knows her name

Today was the first day Jaxon said, "Baby Azlyn" on his own. He has been repeating her name when we say it. He also pats my belly and says baby. But today I was opening the clothes that Nannie mailed him. As I took the clothes out of the package, he said, "Baby Azlyn's?" (What does that tell you? Do you think we have enough baby girl clothes?) This time though, I was able to say, "No, these are for Big Boy Jaxon!" One of the shirts has an elephant on it. He always calls elephants "Boom Booms". That is the sound they make when they walk of course. But today he said, "Elephant!" when he saw it.

On another note, he wanted to sit on the potty 3 times today. The first two times he got a few drops in there, but the 3rd try can be described as a puddle! I am so proud of him! We aren't really pushing him to use the potty. We are just offering it to him when we change his diaper and other random times. We celebrate everytime he sits on the potty, and do the potty dance when he goes! I am impressed with my little boy! : )

The silly games we play...

- Jaxon says, "I play my trumpet." It is a plastic watering can of course!

- He gave me 3 little balls and said, "Juggle, Mom! Juggle, juggle!"

- He starts fake crying, and I join in. Then, he says, "Big hug!" We hug, and he says, "Are you okay?" I say, "I'm okay. Are you okay?" He says, "uh, huuuuh." Then, we do it all over again...

- Fake sneezing is fun, too!

- Daddy Dinosaur is the best one. Daddy acts like a dinosaur. He hides and attacks while Jaxon runs away with the biggest smile on his face. He screams, "Oh no, Daddy Dinosaur!" and tries to hide behind me, but Daddy Dinosaur catches him and tickles. Jaxon laughs,and says, "That kickles!" When daddy stops, he of course says, "More Daddy Dinosaur!"

- Sometimes we play the same game with Monster Dot, too.

oh, how we love to be silly!
