January Updates

Wow, January has seemed to just fly by. I can't believe we have to wait a whole other year now before Christmas again! Well, let's see, what can I report on. Jaxon and I have been hanging out lots as usual and we're still working on the walking thing, but Jaxon is just getting so much better at it and is choosing walking over crawling almost 50% of the time now. Jaxon learned this new trick in Calgary, but has continued to develop it here at home. Can you see him balancing on that toy there to reach something on the desk?
He is able to turn almost any of his toys over and use it as a stepping block to get him to where he really wants to go. He has climbed up on our end tables and almost to the top of the desk even. This little kid is truly a little monkey! So, along those lines, I decided to make Jaxon his very own little monkey. I found this monkey crochet pattern online and it really wasn't too hard.
I think it turned out all right, and best of all, Jaxon seems to really like it too!
In other news, Jaxon got a really bad cold earlier this month and was a MAJOR leaky faucet. Jack wanted to take a picture of his runny nose...so, here it is. :o)
Kinda gross, eh? My poor baby had such a hard time breathing there for a bit. But I'm happy to report that he is all better and back to his old self.
Oh, and last but not least, Jack and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary...a little late actually. We didn't really have a vehicle to use while we were in Calgary so we decided to just wait and celebrate it back here in Ohio. The night we went out was a major blizzard, so good thing the Olive Garden is just down the street from us. :o)
I can't believe it's been six years already! We've had a lot of accomplishments during that time and I can't wait for more to come. We've been learning so much from each other and helping each other become the people we need to be and I'm so grateful to have an eternal companion to go through this life with, through thick and thin, through hard times and good times, and through all the ups and downs life throws at us.
Here's a flashback to see how we looked when we got engaged and one of our wedding day.
Do we look that much different? :o)
