Jumping!

Jaydon enjoys using his jump-up and has really started to get going in it.

7 Months!

Wow...the things Jaydon can do and wants to do. He is growing up so fast and is truly more little boy than baby.

Getting ready to cheer for the Mariners! (Even though he doesn't get to watch TV yet but he sure is good about trying to sneak it if we have it on while he is awake.)

He enjoys playing with his basketball hoop. He is a very accomplished sitter at this point and will pull things over to him, rock out to grab stuff far away, lean way to a side and then sit up again. We enjoyed the NCAA Tourney - again Jaydon spent a bit of time trying to watch the TV and us trying not to allow it.

Messy boy! He has enjoyed his food. Sweet potatoes are his favorite but he has done pretty well with all of the foods we have introduced.

Jaydon LOVES bath time. Here he plays a game with turning off the sink water (he can almost turn it on too) as we dry off. Since he is still not a great sleeper (naps can be great or short - we haven't figured out why the difference, nights are still tough dealing with 3-4 wake ups) we have had to really stick to a routine which does help get him down initially but it involves a bath every night (soap only a couple times a week).

Terrible picture but it shows him sort of trying to crawl. He definitely is getting ready to move, he turns 360 while sitting, he leans forward and gets into crawling position but then will let his butt fall to the ground. I wouldn't be surprised to see him crawling very soon.

We dealt with our first very high fever (103.6) after getting his H1N1 shot and teeth are definitely coming in though they haven't broken the surface yet. So many milestones and so little time.

Jill's Baby Shower

My friends from B'ham threw a surprise baby shower for Jill. It was great to get up there and see so many of my co-workers again and have a ladies night. Jill is expecting her first baby, a boy, in early April.

Ronni made these awesome cupcakes!

Mel, Ronni and Jeannie. It sure makes me miss BHS. Best of luck Jill!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We enjoyed these photos but are sure in 15 years Jaydon will not be pleased with them.

Lily really liked the headband, it had some nice furry things on the Shamrocks.

Happy Birthday Payton!

We had two birthday parties in a row - a nice lunch for my grandpa and then Payton's two year party at the Everett Children's Museum. They were both fun, though I was terrible and didn't get any photos of the lunch.

The museum is soooo cool - I highly recommend it for anyone if you are at all near Everett, I have heard it is way better than the one in Seattle. Here Jeremy and Jaydon are up on the roof playing with the instruments.

Jaydon's first pony ride - he was very tired, hungry and cranky by this time.

Playdate at Sophie's house

Our kiddos had done a great job of making us think they were on the same nap schedule - of course that day Jaydon had to nap an hour earlier than normal and Sophie went down about 45 minutes later than normal. We still had a great time and enjoyed the visit but someday our schedules are going to mesh and it will be a beautiful thing.

Cute pics Asia sent me of the Sophie and Jaydon - Sophie is very used to the paparazzi and always seems to take a great picture, Jaydon on the other hand was still just wondering who this other person was with the big nice black thing.

Holding hands!

I enjoy Jaydons finger, like he is trying to get our attention to say something profound.

Excellent photography from me - the arm belongs to Asia. Jaydon looks like he is either going to kiss her hand, lick her hand or bite her hand - I will go with kiss, they are happy and there was no biting.

He sure enjoys sticking out his tongue.

Visit with Wendy and Brenna

Wendy and Brenna came down for a visit and a quick trip to the Baby store. They even brought lunch! We had a great time.

Brenna takes a pacifier - good girl! Wendy has one too - though this is a Fred Meyer knock off oreo and it sure was good. Many of the imitation oreos I have not found to be that good - these are!

8 weeks old!
