Family pics

We got our family pictures taken on Dec 2. Jaxon did not want to smile at all. He is doing this new thing where he bites his bottom lip. He is still a cutie though. I can't wait to see the pics from the whole Shipp family.

4 months old

Jaxon went for his 4 month appointment on the 30th of November. He is growing so fast. He is now 15 lbs 10 oz and is 25 3/4 in long. We started him on rice cereal and oatmeal cereal. So far he really likes the oatmeal cereal the best. We are excited to start new foods with him. He is talking so much now and tries to sit up but still not there yet. He loves his daddy so much. Everytime his dad comes home, Jaxon just smiles real big and kicks his feet. We just love him so much.

Thanksgiving

This year we all decided to have Thanksgiving at

Zion National Park. It was great and so

beautiful there. We really enjoyed it! We

were able to take Jaxon on a little hike and he

loved it and watched a video at the imax theater.

Thanks Ga'ma & Ga'pa Shipp for an awesome day!

Jaxon loves his Uncle Rhett

Jaxon and his Aunt Tara

Jaxon loves to be outside

Our little family

Jaxon is now talking tons. He has started to just stick his legs in the air and hold on to his leg. Jaxon tries so hard to sit up but can only get his neck and shoulders off the ground. He grunts so much in the process. It is cute to watch him.

Today we went to Uncle Brock's soccer game at Dixie High School to cheer him on. Jaxon loves to be outside. He loves to wear his hat and sunglasses. He doesn't even try to pull them off which is nice. He loves his grandparents and was happy to be able to visit with them for a little while.

Chad had Jaxon just a laughing and talking. It was so cute! He loves his daddy!!

Where did my hair go?

Here is Jaxon when he was first born. He had tons and tons of hair. It was amazing!



And. . . here is Jaxon now. Where is his hair? Where did it go? Well if you look in his crib you can see his hair on the blanket. He goes crazy rubbing his head side to side when he is trying to get to sleep. :( Hopefully it will grow back soon.

My sister's little family

My sister's little family. There is Kim, Josh and Baby Kaden. Kaden is 9 mths old. He is the cutest! Love you Kaden!

SIBLINGS whom I LOVE so MUCH!

We took family pics on October 16th! I absolutely love the photos. I just wanted to really say how much I love my siblings. I have a special bond with each one of my siblings. I am really lucky to have such awesome brothers and sisters. Each one of them are very very special to me. We have been through so much and yet we are still all so close. I don't know how many families can say that they have this. I am so blessed. I wish I could express how much they mean to me. Families are forever and I am glad that I was born into a wonderful, loving and never a dull moment family. To my southern family: I LOVE YOU!!

My Southern Family :)

We finally were able to take a family photo with all the siblings. We haven't been able to do this for a long time. I was so happy that we were able to do this. I love my family so much and appreciate them so much!

We took these photos on our trip to Georgia on October 16th. Chad wasn't with us, sorry daddy! We love you!

GO UGA BULLDOGS!!

Jaxon is sporting the UGA Bulldog shirt! He has been converted to being a fan. He looks so cute in is little t-shirt. Our good friend Amy got him this shirt when she went back home to Georgia. We have to bring our southern roots to Utah. :)

MISC PICS

Jaxon loves his front pack! Thanks Grandma Shipp!! He likes to look around and to be moving constantly.

He loves his little musical frog. More like he loves to eat his frog.

We love the boppy! Jaxon likes it too. He likes that he is sitting up in it. We have started to put him in it and then feed him. He loves to fall asleep on his boppy. Also thanks to Grandma Thompson for the PJ's. (me and chad especially love that it is a zipper instead of buttons)

Ok story behind this costume. I had a customer of mine who got Jaxon a halloween outfit. It was just a little snug on him :) But he was so cute in it. She had got him a newborn outfit but it was about 2 sizes too small. Jaxon thought it was funny of us putting him in it.

Trunk or Treat

Jaxon was a Giraffe for Halloween. He was so cute in his little outfit. On friday we went to the wards trunk or treat/Chili cookoff. It was fun to see all the kids in their costumes. The fog machine in one of the rooms set off the fire alarm so we had a loud siren noise for about 25 minutes until the fire department got there to turn it off. Jaxon didn't like the noise too well. We had a good time.

Jaxon rolling over

Jaxon loves his tummy time. He doesn't last long on his tummy though because he flips to his back. We have been practicing to roll from back to tummy but haven't quite got there yet. He gets to his side and then stops but we are making progress. He is getting so strong with his neck and shoulders. Jaxon loves it when you stick your tongue in and out really fast. (if you listen you can hear Chad doing it and then Jaxon smiled) He just gets a kick out of it.

A little bit about us.

Well I just figured out how to work the blog. I hope to get a little better at piecing it together and to make it all cute but until then I'm going to try to do what I can to just get it all updated.

Our little family is doing great and we are so blessed to have our little man. He is the best thing Chad and I could ever ask for. He is a mini me of his daddy. Everyone always comments on how he looks like a little man and then when they see daddy they are amazed on how he is all daddy. Well except his ears that is all me (sorry Jaxon) and he crinkles his forehead like mom otherwise he is all daddy.

Jaxon is 14 weeks today. He is 14 + pounds. Man time is flying but I'm enjoying it. We are starting to see more and more of his personality. Lately he is trying to sit up. Of course he can't yet but when you put him down he tries to sit up. He can lift his head and shoulders up but thats it for now. He loves to be sitting up. He smiles a lot now and is very ticklish. Jaxon was born with really long feet and they are now finally fitting his body :) Jaxon sleeps very well which we are very grateful for. We try to put him to bed at 8ish and he wakes up around 5 0r 6. He is such a good boy!

Chad is doing great too. He is a wonderful husband and even better daddy. Jaxon just loves his daddy. Chad is a natural at being a father. Me and Jaxon just love him bunches!!

So we decided to try out the bumbo on Jaxon this past week. His Aunt Heidi got this for him which we are excited about and really want to thank her. He wasn't quite sure what to think of it yet. Jaxon is still a little wiggly with his head but is getting stronger every day.

I just love my little sunbeams. In class this last Sunday we were teaching the sunbeams about honesty. We made these warriors headbands and discussed the Anti-Nephi-Lehies who were honest and and true to their faith. The little sunbeams wanted baby Jaxon to be apart of the activity of being little warriors. So we made him a little headband and the kids loved it. It was just so cute!

Jaxon loves his blanket

Jaxon loves his blanket that his Grandma Demille made for him. Thank you Grandma! He loves to snuggle in his soft blanket especially with no clothes on :) He sleeps with this blanket every night.

Jaxon taking a sun bath. Jaxon is at risk for Jaundice and We are trying to do what we can so he doesn't have to under the lights at the hospital.

Jaxon ready to go for a ride. He was hard to buckle in because he was trying so hard to keep his legs together and he is so strong.

Kory and Cynthia with little Jaxon.

Jaxon looks so little in the arms of his big uncle tanner.

Look at all of this hair! Beth and I were so happy to see that he has so much hair. I think he has about as much hair on his head as I do now.

Jaxon and his Aunt Ashley "Bubba". Beth's mom and sister have been here since July 15th and have probably been frustrated that jaxon took so long to get here.

Jaxon and Aunt Tara right after he was born

Jaxon on his first scale. He weighed 7lbs 11oz and was 20 inches long. Jaxon was born at 6:11pm on tuesday July 28th, 2009. Once beth started pushing Jaxon was out within 35 minutes. There was another woman in a room next door that started pushing about the same time as beth and so they raced and obviously beth won. It was funny because the shift change was at 6:00pm right in the middle of the delivery so we had a room packed with people cheering on Beth. It was quite the crowd.

Jaxon is so strong. He could hold up his head from the moment he was born.
