New Years Eve

We decided to invite some friends over for New Years Eve.  We had dinner and roasted marshmellows over our bonfire.  We all had little ones and knew we couldn't stay up late and watch the ball drop together so we had an early party. So we enjoyed being together, watching the kids play, roasting marshmellows, eating some good food, and playing ping pong.

So we all didn't manage to stay well during Christmas break, but thankfully we could still have our New Years Eve Party and go see our friends out of town.  Brian got a cold, then Jaxon got it, and then I had it after New Years.  It was no fun. It was really hard to not go anywhere for a week.  Thankfully Brian was home for part of the time to help me out with Jaxon.


New Words.....
Jaxon is looking like a little man more and more each day.  His vocabulary is constantly growing.  I can't even keep up with the words he is saying.  He loves to copy what you say.  We are teaching him to say "I love Daddy, Mommy, Pop Pop, Mimmie, but he can't quite say love yet.  So Brian is teaching him the Spanish version.  He hasn't said it on his own yet, but will repeat the words after we say them.
We got him a special water bottle from REI.  He loves to carry it around with him.  One day he was pointing to it on the counter and I finally figured out what he wanted.  I said, "This, water" and held it in my hands, and he said, "Si" which means yes in Spanish.  He is picking up words quicker than we think.

Here are his latest words and developments
Shut
Wa Wa (for water)
Juice
Cheese
Yummy Yummy Yummy
Paw Paw
he knows where his fingers and neck are and can point to them
He loves to take his shoes and socks off in the car
