So thankful that Brian finished with work last week. Looking forward to having family time all summer and an extra set of hands. Gotta love working as a teacher.
Mimmie and Pop Pop came to visit on their way to see my mom's family in South Carolina.
Carol and Roger came to visit too. They hadn't met Jaxon yet.
More friends to bring us a meal
Friday we packed up to go to South Carolina so Jaxon could meet his great grandparents. He slept the whole way there. So thankful for the peace and quiet. We stayed with my aunt and uncle. My aunt enjoyed loving on Jaxon. Jaxon also got to meet his great great aunt and uncle and cousins.
Excited to hold her 4th great grandchild

Jaxon's present to his daddy
We stopped by my cousin Mary Catherine and Douglas's house to have brunch. Jaxon had his first play date with some cousins. Jaxon really didn't play he slept and ate. Maybe next time we see them and he's a little older he will be able to play. Mary Catherine and Douglas's little girl, Caroline, and Frances and Kyle's little boy, Lucas. Can't wait for these little ones to get older.

I think it was because we made some pit stops on the way home making for a longer afternoon and evening. We stopped to get some peaches and homemade peach ice cream at a fruit stand and walked around an outlet mall, which he loved :) Love my hubby he let me stop by my favorite store- The Loft and get a few things. We got home way past his bedtime.
Jaxon did so good on his first road trip. It was a pretty relaxing weekend and I am glad that we could visit family.
Can't believe Jaxon is already 12lbs. His neck is getting stronger and he continues to hold his head up. So thankful he is still sleeping through the night. He goes to bed 8-9pm and wakes up around 5-6am.
His legs are really strong and he enjoys kicking and pushing off. Loves to suck on his thumb and hand.
He is cooing and making more noises. He is starting to smile a little.
We are hoping to transition to a bottle this week that way Brian can help feed him.
We still need to put him in his own bed in the nursery and start on cloth diapers. We are going to try the bottles first.

Happy 1st Father's Day!!!
Thanks for the updates. It is great to keep up, even if it is just over the net. Jaxon is getting so big. The picture on Brian's lap makes him seem huge. That must be some high test milk. So glad that he did well on his first road trip. Now that Emma is around, we should plan a trip (in a few more weeks) to all visit.
ReplyDeleteJust FYI - They are 3rd cousins. Their grandma's are 1st cousins. Their moms are 2nd cousins. That makes the kids 3rd cousins.
