July 4th Weekend

We had a busy, but wonderful July 4th weekend. We started off by visiting the newest addition to The Raines family- Ms. Evelyn. She's so tiny and just a beautiful little baby! We couldn't pass up a second chance to go up to the hospital on Friday afternoon to see the Raines before they went back to San Antonio. The Astons were there with Carter, who is just a few weeks older- they were both sweet and adorable as usual. Jaxson was running around, making noise and being goofy as always- giving the new parents a taste of what is to come. Friday night we went over to Nana & Grandpa's where Jaxson enjoyed his version of swimming- filling buckets of water & pouring them on plants and outside of the pool. Aunt Nikki was in town and Jaxson was able to show her how he can say her name "Kiki"- that works for now :) Grandpa borrowed the neighbors bike to show Jaxson the awesome baby seat they have- he was a little uncertain about the helmet at first but fell in love with the bike. On his second bike ride he even fell asleep!!!
Saturday the 4th we headed out early to the parade in Lakeway to see Popo. This was Jaxson's second parade and he had a great time- he even got a balloon from a little boy- which he then let fly into the sky- it was fun while it lasted. Saturday evening we headed over to the Norwood's and then to Steph & Jared's. We didn't see many fireworks- it really made me miss being at our old house. Sunday was a nice day of relaxing!
Jaxson has learned the names of his classmates & he repeats them several times a day. He's also learned the word "No" which he is favoring at this moment as he throws a little fit. My favorite word of the weekend were "Bless you"- its too cute to hear him say bless you when you sneeze.
All in all it was a great weekend- I sure did enjoy the extra day at home with Jaxson and Scott.
