Jaxons and the balloon

So i got a balloon in a gift i received for mothers day ad i tried playing with it with the boys and Jaxon loves it! He just tries to go after it a cracks up over and over when you bonk him with it! Mason wasn't too interested. It was so cute i had to put up a video to share with you:)

First Play Date

I met a women while walking the boys about a month ago and we got together for the first time the day before yesterday. Her on is just 10 days older so its really neat how close they are!! The boys seemed more interested in each other than meeting a new friend, but hopefully they'll warm up and want to play with the other little guys. I only got one picture that didn't turn out the best because me and their mother were talking and having a good time so i was a little distracted with watching the little guys and socializing:) They didn't do too much this time, but there will be more play dates where that came from!!

I officially have scooters

So within the last few weeks here i noticed to boys starting do me able to push off and slowly get places between wiggling and rolling. Now they can officially scoot. Jaxon doesn't have it down quite as well, but Mr.mason is a scooting freak. He wants to be in EVERYTHING and play with everything that he shouldn't. As soon s he spots something he army crawls to it. If yo pick it up and move it he's onto the next thing. I can't take my eye off him for a second when he's awake! I'm so proud of my little guys. They are learning so well:)Mason and Jaxon will also scoot to each other so they can play. I love that they know each other now. They love to both play with the same toy. Sometimes you catch them kind of talking to each other or laughing. When one is kicking his feet the other will try and catch them and start cracking up. ITS SO ADORABLE! Although it comes with it's challenges i LOVE how smart they are getting:)

SWIMMING!

So we have a community pool where we live and we decided to take the boys for a dip in the pool yesterday. It was about 88 degrees outside and they haven't seen water other than the bathtub since they were born. I put them in there little swimming trunks, we brought them over and they LOVED it! i count believe it! I totally expected them to cry or freak out, but they were completely content. I think they are going to be little swimmer boys! We only took them for a short dip, because i didn't want them to be in the sun too long. We are definitely going to have to take them more often:)

Yay for my little swimmers!

So much, so little time

I need to get better at this blog stuff. lol I always get so caught up and forget what i wanted to write. The boys are loving their exersaucer!! They are getting so good at playing with all the little toys on it. It's so0o0o0 amazing how smart they are getting.
Jaxon my little scooter, he is so silly. I always lay a blanket down on the living room carpet for them to play on, and Jaxon has figured out his own version of scooting. Haha. He face plants and takes his legs and pushes across the blankets, with his face sliding across it. He saw Masons Passy across the blanket and managed to scoot all the way over and put it in his mouth upsidedown. Silly boy.
They are both getting really good at controlling their pacifiers, taking them out and putting them back into their mouths:) O and rolling over!! They both roll onto their belly to sleep in their cribs at night. I lay them down on their backs and when i go to check on them they are both passed out on their bellies. It drives me nuts that they always roll over when im not looking! I swear it's like their like "Mom's not looking ... roll over"
I took them for two walks yesterday, Mason still LOVES going for walks. He always stays awake the whole time and loves watches everything! Jaxon actually stayed awake for the whole second walk for the first time. YaY Jaxon!
They talked on the phone with g-ma this morning. Its so amazing how they are already learing about the phone. They both try to hold on to it like big boys, and sit there and listen to whoever is on the other line. Gma and Gpa might babysit tonight, so that will be fun for them:)
One more thing is that they can both pretty much hold their own bottles perfectly on their own now! My little boys are so talented. well anywho thats whats been going on, Im going to leave you all with some pictures, because we all know that we love pictures!

Sleepy Boys

Picture Time!

Fun toys and needy boys

So i went to once upon child today and got the boys a excersaucer finally. I put them in it, and i think they are both still a little too small. Jaxon seemed to be a little more amused, but hes been the one thats been wanting to play with all different types of toys. Mason more of a simple guy and likes to stick with what already makes him happy. hehe. I think that they will start to love it in the next month here. It so cute though to see how much they are growing, and enjoying more complex toys!

The boys are doing great, Jaxon has strted this new phase where he has to be rocked to sleep. lol it so cute, he just wants to be close to his mommy:)

Lazy Day

Today is a lazy day, it's a bit nippy out so i dont feel like going for a walk or anything. I did take some cute pics of the boys!!

I did a painting of the boys the other day. It turned out pretty good i must say! haha. I still have 2 more that are a work in progress so stay tuned to check them out. I was so happy though to finally find time to do it! The boys have been doing great! We have been doing the usual, hanging out, playing, and going for walks. Boy does Mason loves to be outside. Jaxon usually manages to zonk out in the first ten minutes, but Mason tries to always stay awake the entire time.He must take after his mama, im a big fan of the outdoors!!

My little musicians

Both my fiance and I are very artistic people, I paint and he plays music. He has dabbled in art and i played viola for 8years so we both have an appreciation for the other. We are definitely going to get the boys involved in art and music early on. Since Jaxon was like 2 months old he seems to love beats, and drumming. Every time hes crabby you can take his arms and drum a beat with them and he LOVES it! He is instantly happy. Mason also likes this. Mason seems to like guitar more, he loves when you make him play air guitar, it instant giggles for that little one. They both also love to listen to their daddy play. Usually they can be fussy and crabby, but when dad busts out the guitar and plays a little DMB or Jack Johnson, they are quite content little boys. I LOVE IT! i can't wait until we can start doing little art projects, or when they can start learning an instrument! The things to look forward to:):)

Everything is going great with the boys. They get smarter and bigger everyday. Jaxon rolled over from his back to belly yesterday! YAY!! now they have both rolled over both ways. Im so proud of my little guys. Today was a good day, lazy, but good. It was rainig all day. I showed the boys rain for the first time today. I opened the door so they could see it real good. Jaxon loved it, he was watching it with astonishment and amusement. I tried feeding them rice cereal for the first time the day before yesterday. BOY WAS IT MESSY! haha. i didnt even think about a bib before i started and next thing i know there was rice cereal everywhere. In their hair and necks. HAHA! i tried again yesterday too with not much more success. Mason seems to do a little better with eating it. He keeps it in his mouth a little better and manages to swollow a little. But for the most part its a never ending game of catch the rice ceral. hopefully it will get better soon and they will start to actually eat some of it.

4 Month Check-up

So the boys had their 4 month check up today. They are doing good. Mason might have a little eye infection so we got some drops just to get rid of whatever might be there. I cant wait for his clogged tear duct to go away. They are getting so big! They both weighed 14lbs even. I guess that is in about the 40th percentile for weight. They were in the 90th percentile for height though! They must be some tall guys. Jaxon was 26in long and Mason was 25in. Both of their head circumfrances were 16 1/4in. I got the okay to start rice cereal and introducing veggies and fruits but i think we still might wait a month or two. All in all they are healthy and develpoing well! YAY!:):)

4 Months!

The boys are officially 4 months today! g'z i cant believe it has been that long! Being a mom is truly the best thing in the world. Tomorrow they go fro their 4 month visit which is both a fun and not fun time for me. I love going and seeing how much they have grown, how much they weigh now and the progress they are making, but i do not like to see them get their shots! I hate seeing my little ones cry and/or be in any pain!!:( I was just getting ready to feed them their late night bottle and mason rolled over from his belly to his back! Now he has done it both ways! YAY! I think they are really starting to teethe. They are always chewing on their hands, or whatever else they can find and drooling like crazy! if you lay mason down for even 5 min on his belly he somehow makes the largest spot of drool. They also have been pretty fussy lately! I'm not ready for them to have teeth yet, they are growing so fast, i just want them to stay my small little smunchies forever! God do i love them, the world just wouldn't be as wonderful without Jaxon and Mason.


Lets take a look at the last month:)

Being a mom

How rewarding it is to be a mother:) They come home these little beings, not being able to do anything, and faster than you know it, these little people blossom before your eyes. I cant believe how much has changed since bringing them home from the hospital. They were so tiny, so fragile, everything scared me. Everyday i look at them i am so grateful that these two amazing little people came into my life. I don't remember life before being a mom as much anymore, nor do i want to. This is the most amazing gift anyone could ever dream of. Their little personalities are getting so big. Jaxon is a lot like his dad. He's pretty serious and likes things a certain way. He's smiley, loving, and has a big heart. He loves to be held as much as possible and doesn't like to be put down. He's a mama's boy. I love the way he makes a gurgley rasberry sound back and fourth with me, my god is it adorable. he loves for me to go back and fourth with him, every time he seems more and more entertained by it. Another thing i love is the way he holds onto you and nuzzles his head on you, he looks like a little toddler the way he carries himself. I love the feeling iget when i lay next to him and look into his eyes, the honest and pure love and compassion i can see when he looks back at me. I love the way he does his bashful little smile, and looks at you with his big beautiful blue eyes.
Mason is definitely his own person. They are two babies each with their own unique personalities. Theere are so many wonderful things about each of them. Mason is so fun loving and carefree. Boy does he love to laugh, everything is funny is masons world. I love it! I love when you tickles his belly and he laughs so hard and loud with his little baby laugh, its truly enough to make anyone melt. I love watching him watch himself in the mirror, he'll smile, coo, and giggle, It always brightens my day! I love watching him play with his little rings and concentrate and study them so hard. I love the faces he makes, like me he shows his emotions very distinctly in his face and you can always tell how he is feeling. He is so sweet, so caring, and can tell that he is going to grow up to be a truly compassionate and loving person. He is also a lot of fun. I love how hes a little jokester and loves to get a smile out of you. Like his brother he has mommies big beautiful blue eyes, and when you look into him you can see the pure joy and compassion in his heart. They sparkle.

Mason giggles

Mason and Jaxon roll over

My boys are gettig so big and strong. 3-21-09 Mason rolled over for the first time. I tried my best to get a video, but it didnt work as well as i had hoped, and everytime he has done it since is always when im looking away. I swear hes camera shy! haha:) He rolled over from his back to his belly! I guess Jaxon wanted to share some of the glory, because he decided he was going to roll over on 3-22-09 except he wanted to be different and rolled from his belly to back. I couldnt get a video of his first time either because it was over at aunt Dustys when we least expected it. However i did get his 3rd time:) Mason has done it 3 times so hopefully ill be able to get a better video of one of his early ones soon:) here are the videos!


Jaxon:
Jaxon rolls over!

Right Now

I keep wanting to write in here, but every time I'm feeling inspired my schedule isn't allowing me. lol The boys are doing great! They are like 3 and a half months right now and i can't believe how big they are already. Last week Jaxon and Mason both figured out how to spin these little spinny things on their rattle! I am so proud. I will add the videos when i can:) Over the last 2 weeks it seems like they are really getting good at holding on to some of their toys, shaking them and moving them from one hand to another!! The weather has been warm so I have been taking them to this beautiful park in my area. I love being outside, and i really love to share that with them. Today Jaxon was laying on the floor in front of the mirror, and he looked like such a little man! I layed next to him and caressed and kissed his face and he just looked at our reflection with such concentration, such love. He flashed me a little smile and just continued to lay there content while studying everything. I can never forget the love i felt at that moment. Mason had so0o0o much personality today. He was full of smiles and giggles and had a lot that he was tyring to say. Its amazing how one second they are can't really do anything but cry and next thing you know they are squealing and cooing like crazy. He loves it when you talk to him! Don't tell him but i think he thinks he's actually carrying on a conversation with me. Jaxon was laying in front of the mirror and completely mastered spinning his giant spinning toy that suctions to the mirror. He is so smart, he always has this seriousness about him but still he's full of coos and giggles. Mason seems to be more of a jokester. When his father was holding him this evening he was full of laughs. One was really clear and vivid, like a little toddler laugh. My god was it adorable! These little guys make me melt. I swear they are going to be early bloomers when it comes to getting their teeth, they have been gnawing and sucking on their hands like crazy, not to mention the uncontrollable drooling! It all goes so fast but i am loving being a mom of the mos wonderful boys ever!
