The things I have noticed lately...

...That Jaxon LOVES...I mean LOVES Oreos!! And why wouldn't he? I mean I could live on theses things...OK maybe not so much but I do have wonderful childhood memories of eating them (with milk of course) with my grandma when I would stay at her house. This is his first cookie memory. When he's older we will eat them together (with milk of course) There's no denying here he is indeed mine!!!
...That the big stainless steel bowl has become is new favorite toy....not that he needs anymore by the look of whats around him, but still. He hits the bowl, he picks the bowl up, he puts all his toys in it and then dumps them all out. All this time....I could have just given him a bowl....HAHAA!!
...That when you are outside, no matter whats going on around you, you should just SPIN around. For no reason at all. Enjoy the sun, the shade and the company around you as well....but just enjoy life. She has a spirit about her. Daddy was showing her how to throw the ball to the dog and then the dog would chase her since she didn't want to throw it. Then gave up and started spinning. Love it!
...That I LOVE pasta waaaay more than I should. But was really proud I made up a pasta salad dish for dinner that night. I had things in my pantry to use. The tomato and cucumber were grown in my aunts garden. It turned out to be a very good salad. I have more pasta in the pantry...I wonder what I will come up with next!!
...That we no longer have a "baby - baby". Make sense? NO....well he can face the front now. He is well over 20lbs and has been holding his head up since he was about 3months old. And the fact he out grew his rear facing seat almost a month ago, it was time! 4 stores and about 33 car seats later...we found one we like....it meets all the safety requirements and then some....and he liked it. Even Mambo test drove it after we got it home and adjusted all the straps before putting it in the car. He was so big looking in the smaller car seat now he looks small in this one!!

He's making a list....

The BIG TOY BOOKS arrived in the newspaper a few weeks ago. Let's just say he knows how to catalog shop! He knew what pages to go to that had toys for him. Anything Spiderman is topping his list right now. He will sit and watch the Spiderman movie and not move. Not the cartoon either...the movie with Toby Maguire. He would come across the pages that had the barbies and doll houses and anything pink and point at them and yell "JESSIE!!" So I am glad he knows what she likes because she changes her mind every 5 minutes. We will be shopping soon and from the very worn out toy book he has carried with him for the past few weeks now. He points at 3 things every time he opens the book from Wal-Mart...so i know he means business. And the 50" flat screen that he points at and yells "DAAAADDDY" well sorry for your luck son.

I do it

  Since he could talk he has had a certain Independence about him. "I do it". I loved it when his little voice would say those words. Even though he sometimes had no clue what he was doing. Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner .     Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed. I still stay present just in case he needs my help. "I do it all by myself" are the words he says now. It makes me a little sad that he doesn't need me for everything now.     "I'm hungry" are words I hear alot from him. So I tell him find something to eat and I will help you make it. I let him put the snack ideas together. He can open the fridge. He can open the pantry. So he can grab whatever his little heart desires.     Here he is with minimal help from me making a peanut butter sandwich. "Watch me mom" are the words I hear when he does something a...
