Let's Swim!

Jaxson started swimming lessons this week, its twice a week for four weeks. He loves it!! Every Monday and Wednesday he can't wait to get geared up for swimming.

Bailey tested the swim gear and has approved it safe as well :)

Some of the funny things we've overheard during lessons are Jaxson asking the swim instructor if she can do the particular "trick" he's doing. While floating with the instructor in the pool he spots a airplane in the sky and gets completely distracted with that.

They also had these little floating sticks that looked like a weight bar and he told them it was also for exercising.

He loves the goggles and several times we noticed him with his head into the water and the instructor had to pull him up...he made sure to let them know everything he saw with his goggles. He's so shy.....NOT!! We sure are glad Jaxson is excited to learn more about swimming so he can be independent and safe in the pool!

Four Months Old!

Our beautiful blue eyed Bailey is four months old today! I can't get over how much she's changed in the last four months. Her little personality has really developed over the last month and each day is filled with so much joy watching her grow!

Bailey still loves to sit up in our lap and check everything out, but has also developed some strong leg muscles and enjoys looking around from up high. She recognizes us and gets the biggest smile on her face. Oh man, she can turn a bad day around with those sweet smiles! Her sweet adorable giggle gets us rolling every time and she loves "talking" and hearing her little voice...as do we!

She's still in the same diaper and clothes size as last month, but her hair is growing like crazy. We can now sport a little pony tail on top with her hair on top of her head and have even put them into little pig tails...I love the hair! So far its still staying dark, but the hair around her crown that's coming in seems a little lighter.

Bailey still loves laying on her back and kicking around. While on her little play mat we will usually find her using her strong legs to turn herself around on the mat or even inching off the mat onto the floor. This past month she slept through the night once, but still has really good stretches of sleep through the night. Mornings with her are the best- she wakes up in the best mood and fills the house with her sweet voice...I LOVE THAT!!

During her four month check up today she got a few shots and did great. After a few tears she quickly went to sleep. Developmentally she's doing great! Her stats are looking good as well:

Weight: 14 lbs 7oz (50-75%) 

Length: 24 1/2 inches (50-75%)

Head: 42 1/2cm (75-90%)

We are SO in love with our sweet little blue eyed Bailey and are beyond blessed for the four wonderful months that she has been in our family!

C-U-T-E!!!

Party in My Crib

Not that there was EVER a doubt that our two beautiful blessings looks just a LITTLE alike- here they are in the same shirt.

Love it!!!

Swings

Today Scott got the swing set set up so that Bailey could ride with her big brother. She was a little uncertain about the whole experience...granted it was a little warm so that might have been part of it. She sat up pretty good and enjoyed the short ride on the swing. We might have to try later when the sun isn't so strong and its a little cooler. Jaxson sure enjoyed having her out there!

Jaxson was showing me how he was superman on the swings.

More Jaxson Stories...

Here's some more funny Jaxson stories from the week: While brushing his teeth Scott walked into the bathroom and says, "Jaxson please turn off the water you're wasting money". To which Jaxson replies "Never mind Daddy I've got lots of quarters". I highly doubt our water company would appreciate our monthly payment made in quarters! HA!!

While standing in the kitchen Jaxson walks in from the backyard and says "Mom, I'm in here to get a beer, it's for Daddy not for me". OH...thanks for the clarification buddy!!

Bubbles

We attempted a homemade bubble project. It was fun, but I don't think I had the bubble to water ratio right...we possibly ate more soap than we both cared for.
