Catch Up #5: Laundry

These pictures are pretty self explanatory, but in case you need some explaining here goes. We don't have our own washer and dryer, but rather get to experience the joys of walking in the bitter cold outside to go to our "community", dirty, crappy laundry room. We then have to pay, and go back and forth a million times to simply do a couple loads of laundry! In the process of me going back and forth, and freezing my butt off, Jax gets quite bored and wants attention (surprise surprise!) That doesn't include the neglect he also feels while I am busy folding the thousands of items in the loads, and then the ironing. So.....this is our solution to keeping mommy sane amidst the insanity I experience doing laundry each week! Did I also mention that each item of wash has to be carried downstairs first off, then back upstairs! 18 lbs of baby plus a whole load of towels! Whew what a workout!

Catch Up #4: Baby Food

Jax has recently started baby food, and is basically a bottomless pit! Eating a whole 2 large cans a day! Plus his 2 large helpings of cereal, and yummy milk! You would never know this, him being such a skinny mini! He has eaten every kind we have tried so far, and hasn't refused any! I do think that sweet potatoes have been the ultimate favorite though!

This would be the sweet potatoes! Yummy yummy!

And this would be the green beans, which he wasn't thrilled about, but still downed the entire can!

Catch Up #3: Valentines

We had a great Valentines! We actually went to dinner, and got a babysitter so we could go the movie on Satruday. Tyler was a sweetie as usual, and so was Jax!

Hope you all had a great Valentines Day!

Catch Up #2: Happy Birthday!

Tyler is officially 23! We had a quiet little birthday all to ourselves, Tyler not being much of a people person! But it was fun, and we had yummy cake!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!!

I had the brilliant idea to make Tyler's cake this year......BAD IDEA! I am a creative crafty person, so I thought it would be easy. NOT! This is how it turned out, not the greatest, but still delicious! Mmmmm!

Catch Up: Swimming!!

We took Jax swimming a little over a month ago, and he really quite liked it. He wasn't quite sure what to think at first, but quickly warmed up to the idea! He loves his bath, so we figured swimming would be so much fun! His lips were chattering by the end, but he was such a good boy!

6 MoNtHs!

Holy Smokes, my little guy is already 6 months old! I cannot believe it! We went for his checkup yesterday, and he is 30 inches tall, which I will have you know is the average height of a 12 month old! And he weighed 17lbs. He also got to start baby food, and boy does he LOVE it! All we have had so far is bananas, but they were delicious! He is also sitting now, hates to roll over (either way), loves to jump in his Johnny Jump, and loves to stand up to the couch and play with toys there! He is a very stubborn and independent little thing, but we sure do love him!

We have had a busy past couple of months, if you haven't noticed by the lack of blogging, and a busy week ahead! Tyler's birthday is Thursday, Friday I am having a little surgery done on my toes, and then its Valentines weekend! Hopefully lots of pictures by the end of the week!

Happy Valentines Day!!
