So about a week and half ago Jax and I went to the botanical gardens and had a picnic lunch. It was a beautiful day. However Jax was less then cooperative. He would have nothing to do with me taking his picture. It was so frustrating. I did take a picture of these huge fish in the lake. Over all it was a great outing! Sara Hassoldt gets here next week and we are so excited. Jax is going love spending time with his godmother. We wish Mike was coming too, but we will send him lots of pictures! 

So we will have lots of pictures next week. For now this is all I have.   

Story Time...

Every Wednesday Jax and I go to the library for story time. The man the does it, is Mr. Mac. He plays the guitar and sings, the kids play with puppets, and he reads stories.  It is really cute. Jax hardly sits still the whole time we are there. He runs around and every so often what Mr. Mac is doing will catch his eye and he will sit and listen. Jax does love the puppets though. Today however he kept trying to take everyone else's puppet. I had to run after to make sure he wasn't successful in his attempts to be a thief. lol! But he really enjoys going and he gets some interaction with other kids.    

Jax has started to have favorite tv shows and favorite characters. He loves Caillou, Elmo and Little Einstein's. He asks for them and gets upset when they are not on. He calls Elmo, mo and Caillou, iou. It is so funny. We have Elmo and Little Einstein's dvd's but we had to order Caillou dvd's and they are not here yet. But he gets so excited when they come on. He dances to the theme songs and claps. He has even started doing some of the motions to the songs, especially on Little Einstein's. Here is a picture of him watching Caillou in his high chair.  He had just finished eating dinner and he was so relaxed. 

So today we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and went to the park. I found it about month ago and it is great! It has 3 huge play areas, nature trails, swings, a little creek, and picnic tables. We had a great time. It started out a little rough. We walked probably about a mile in circles looking for some where to sit, while Jax was sleeping and I was carrying him, because John had all our bags and other junk. He is not a tiny boy anymore. Once we finally found some where to sit, that happen to be on the other side of the park and by this time Jax woke and thought we were leaving and started freaking out. So we ate and then we played. Over all it was great. I am so glad it is getting warm again and we are going to take full advantage of it so we can be as active with him as we can. He is such a fun kid and I am having so much fun being his mom.  

Picture Perfect day!

Today has been amazing. It is my 25th Birthday and it really has been great. John took the morning off and let me sleep in. Then we went out to breakfast and took Jax to the park. John had to go to work around lunch time, so Jax and I had lunch on the balcony on his little table and chairs. It was so nice being able to go outside and enjoy the fresh air. I was so sick of being inside and I was really out of ideas on ways to entertain him. I was having to resort to Elmo way to much.  But here are some pictures of Jax having his little picnic. He loved it. He is such an out doors kid. I can't wait for spring and Summer to really let him play out side and swim.  

Let it Snow, Let it Snow!

So it is actually snowing and a lot! Well a lot for Alabama. We took Jax out but we could not stay out long it was really windy and Jax still has a little bit of a cold. We may try again later when hopefully it is not as windy. He really loved it. He was knocking  the snow off the bushes and trying to pick it up.  He cried when we made him go inside.  I hope the wind dies down so we go out again.
