Cousin Love.......

As you can tell my niece Taylor is in love with Jaxon. He is all she talks about. In fact, she carries a picture of him around where ever she goes. So, when she came up for Jaxon's birthday party we took both of them to get their pictures taken. It was a blast. The photographer at Sears was amazing with both of them. She truly made the experience enjoyable. These two pictures are just a snapshot of all the great pictures we got from that day. Jaxon had so much fun playing with Taylor while she was here. It's a shame that she lives so far away from us that the times they get to spend together will be slim. Cousins really should be close.

One Years Old.....

WOW! Can't believe the time is here. Seems like just yesterday he was still in my belly. I guess time really does fly when your having fun. We had a rough day on our actual birthday, it was time for shots. In Manhattan, on their one year checkup they have to get their blood drawn as well of a round of shots. To start off the appointment, Jaxon didn't gain any weight since his last checkup and his pediatrician thought we need to check his thyroid. So, he added more tests to be run which came back negative. Needless to say, when we took him to the lab to get his blood drawn even the lab tech didn't want to take as much blood from Jaxon as the doctor had requested, it was that much. Jaxon had a great day anyways. His birthday party and baptism was scheduled for March 30, 2008 and we had to cancel the baptism. Jaxon woke up two nights prior with a high fever and had the worst couple of days. Life just wasn't going our way. Jaxon is on an antibiotic and seems to be happier than ever.
