ast month was quite possibly the longest month of my life. Waiting for baby Casen to arrive. Well guess what…he was two weeks old on Saturday! And Jaxon was 28 months! Boys.

Jax is our little wild man. So dramatic, I think he will be on Broadway by the time he’s five. He has the funniest facial expressions. Reminds me of myself when I was little…always acting silly to get attention. His new thing is putting his hands on his hips. Go. go. go. A hundred miles an hour all the time. Says ‘hi’ to everyone, even strangers at the grocery store. He is also into saying ‘bye’ too…his toys, our house, even his little brother, ‘Bye baybee Tasen’. So sweet. He is learning how to count (he thinks he’s blowing out candles). Loves to jump. Draw. ‘Sit porch’. Basically be outside 24/7. Amazed by bubbles and glow sticks. Hates naps. Not a fan of eating…although he loves melon and berries. He could live on just milk or juice. Actually, he says it so much, it’s becoming a double word at our home. ‘Milkjuice’.

Case is such a good baby! Every now an then we get a poop explosion that breaks up the routine, but other than that, he just has his daily dose of the hiccups. He looks like a tiny angel when he sleeps. Speaking of sleeping, this little guy only wakes up once in the middle of the night. I think I’m getting more rest now than when I was pregnant. I have a feeling that he is going to be the complete opposite of Jaxon. They will become the best of pals.

very month is a new adventure with Jaxon. He seems to be a little more hyper, repeating more than he probably should and keeping us on our toes, especially when he’s chasing birds. He is so fast!

This month Jax went to the circus with MiMi, PaPa and Aunt Jessi and Daddy took him to the zoo! Quite possibly an elephant overload, but they are his new fav. And so that makes Dumbo the movie of choice.

We are enjoying our days (and nights) with just him…soaking up all the hugs and giggles and funny things he says. I try to tweet them so we can look back and laugh…follow @littlemanjax. I just love our conversations. So random and spontaneous.

I am so proud of him. He can spot a ‘hairplane’ from miles away. Everytime you sit him on the potty, he goes. He’s got his shapes down…’kyangle’ especially. Still learning how to play nice with George, he did learn quickly though when you hit, you will get a paw right back. Cries for a split second and we tell him to shake it off. He has his moments. Every once in a while his little stern two year old voice come out and he points! (I have to try so hard not to smile.) Still throws fits when he doesn’t get his way, what kid doesn’t. But he’s a riot and I love him!

few days late…my little man is 26 months old now! When do you stop counting in months? That always bothered me before I became a mom. So…Jaxon is 2 years and 2 months, ha!

I feel like ever since Jax turned two, I am just so amazed by how smart he is. How much he concentrates and thinks and even what he remembers. His favorite book is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrator, Eric Carle. It is perfect because we are learning colors now. He has been a pro at blue for a while. He loves to draw. Gotta get him some sidewalk chalk for sure! He’s definitely going to be an artist. Although he really digs music…caught him dancing nude in the living room to Dance-a-Lot Robot. Hilarious!

He is currently obsessing over going outside and riding his little bike…pedaling all by himself. I think we’ve been stuck in our home for too long. The weather has been so gorgeous. It’s pretty funny, he still thinks that he needs a hat and coat to go outside. ;) We are all ready for summer! (We booked our ‘kid-free’ vacation! Hoping to take Jax to the beach for a weekend though.) My work has really been picking up lately and he is now going to the sitter a few days a week. Which is awesome because he gets to play and run around all day with his best friend, Carter. (They were born a month apart.) They wear each other out, so much that he will fall asleep eating at dinner.

Potty training is going well…it is not quite an everyday thing, but he understands what he is suppose to do. We even got him a new seat for the ‘big potty’. Hoping that he can catch on before the baby arrives. Eating is going even better. Should have switched to 2% milk a while ago. He is eating so many more fruits and meats. Still trying to sneak in the veggies. We went to the doctor and he weighed 30 lbs and was 35 inches tall…happy to see him in the 60ish percentiles!

oxoxo…I’m pretty sure we have one of the most lovable kids around. Jax gives hugs and ‘tisses’ and ‘I yous’ all the time! So we are sending everyone lots of love this week! Yesterday he turned 25 months. Hard to believe his second birthday was already a month ago. Where does the time go?

Jaxon is growing up so much…doing lots of new things. I have really noticed that he is concentrating much more when he plays. Daddy is teaching him how to play hockey…so fun to watch them. He is obsessed with the yard stick, the plunger, Daddy’s leaf blower and my typewriter. Always wants to go outside…even brings me his shoes to speed up the process. Ha! Loves to climb in and out and on top of anything…our little dare devil. He is also in to running fast.

He is so determined. Has to brush his teeth everyday. Likes to pick out what color shirt he wears. Loves to take baths…umm, probably two times a day. His vocabulary has tripled…says two and three words all the time. The other day he burped at lunch and said ‘scuse you’. Using those manners…even when I don’t remind him! It’s funny he says ‘No please’. See what else he is saying here.

He lets me know when he poops…hopefully we are one step closer to being diaperless. Eating habits are not so great though. He would much rather drink milk for every meal…but we are trying to work in some new foods. I am so glad that he is sleeping in his big boy bed all the time now. No crying either, well except he always wants me to go to sleep too. FYI…toddler beds are super uncomfortable.
