Two Months Old

I can hardly believe two months has already passed. Jaxon is a wonderful baby and is growing so fast. I am using my blog to keep updated on his milestones so bear with me. 

This month Jaxon started smiling. We all love getting a smile from him and he gives them away freely. He's so easy to please. He started sleeping 6-7 hours a night consistently since he was 6 weeks and by 9 weeks he's doing 7-9 hours! I love it! He's started sucking his thumb, which may be the cutest thing ever.

Wild Wild West

We LOVE being around family and going to Wyoming is becoming our favorite vacation. There's so much for the kids to do. They rode horses, fished, swam in a pond, took care of baby geese, fed animals, went to a rodeo (well the opening day anyways), and tons more. We had a blast! Thanks Auntie Carol and Uncle Doug for a good time!

We rode horses everyday. Bailey loves Lucky and Kylie loves Two Winks. They all had to catch the horses, brush them and saddle them before getting to ride. They had to try every brush (they even tried them on the dog Addie). It was cute to watch.
Kade decided he wants to be a farmer when he grows up. Uncle Doug gave him a farmers hat and we even got him on a tractor. When I asked him what he's going to grow he told me "Mommy, I'm going to grow tissues just for you,". I'm not sure how that will work but it was quite darling. He'll make a great farmer. They boy loves dirt!
Every morning they took the baby geese out of the barn, and at night fed them and put them back in the barn. One night they didn't close the door all the way and had to search for them but found them by the creek. Aren't the geese cute?
Fishing is lots of fun, especially in a pond loaded with fish that all bite! They must have caught a hundred fish. We threw all of them back but a few didn't quite make it... oops.
On the last night we went to the county boot kick off that starts off rodeo week. Kids did barrel racing on stick horses, there were booths, bouncing toys and there was a country band playing. It was a great way to end the vacation!

Funniest kid ever...

Kade is a crack up. If you've ever been in my backyard w/ Kade, he is swinging on his "swing". Its a teeter totter thing. Another thing about Kade is he sometimes desperately needs a nap and sometimes he can do without. Yesterday, we were running errands and didn't have time for naps. 

While I was making dinner, he went out in the backyard to swing. A little while later this is what we found...

Yes he's asleep, yes he kept hitting his head on the bar, yes that is his father cracking up in the background. I ended the video when he started to swing higher. I was nervous he'd fall off into the brick wall. He's wearing pjs because he peed in his last pair of clean pants. He's very dedicated to his swinging... He tends to fall asleep in random places on no nap day but this was the best! (It was probably a little funnier in person)
