Halle Cat had a Birthday...

Yesterday was such a busy day... I had my 6 month pictures (Mommy will post them when she gets a chance...) Then we had Halle Brooke Allred's birthday... It was so much fun. Believe it or not, ELMO was there... All the other kids were scared of him, but not me. I'm so brave! After Halle's birthday we went to Papaw's because it was his birthday too! It was such a crazy day!

Also, my dad has a black eye, and no, my mommy didn't give it to him, although she does feel like it sometimes. He hit himself with a tennis racket... no lies. He looks so funny, like he's wearing eye shadow or something! He was in some pictures Saturday so I'll post them later too...

Here are some pictures of Elmo holding me and Halle and a picture of me after church this morning!

Tooth #1

J-Man got his first tooth last night! What a big boy he is!

Mommy is Busy.

Hello everyone... this is Jaxon's Mommy. For those of you who don't know, I have started my student teaching at Mayfield High School... so I have found that I don't have as much time as I used to :(... Anyway, I have taken several pictures of Jaxon lately. He keeps growing everyday. He is crawling (in his own way) and he is saying Mommy and Da-da.... He is also sitting up with some assistance. He's such a smart boy... Jaxon's daddy, Justin, was voted at Liberty Baptist Church to become their full time youth minister/minister of education/associate pastor. He has put in his two weeks notice at the bank, and starting in September will work full time at the church. This has made us all excited! Jaxon is staying with Bridgette, Justin's cousin, two days a week and with my Mom on her day off. He will also be staying with his daddy two days a week once September gets here...

I just wanted to give you a quick update. I will post new pictures just as soon as I get a chance.... Have a great day!

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...

So once again, let me explain the title... yesterday afternoon while Mommy and Daddy were getting ready for church, I rolled off of their bed. But don't worry, I'm not hurt. It didn't take all the kings horses and all the kings men to put me back together again. It scared me and I cried loud. Mommy cried loud too. It scared all of us, but I'm just fine. All of the older ladies at church told Daddy that it's a blessing that I rolled off the bed because according to an old wives' tale, if a baby rolls off of the bed before they are one, they will live a long life. (who knew?) Apparently in the older days, people actually wanted their baby to roll of the bed, and would lay them on the edge until they did... sounds crazy to me!

I also have a new friend. Lillian Grace Monroe, daughter of Kyle and Kelly Monroe, was born Tuesday, July 29th. She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and was 21 inches long. I can't believe how much hair she has. She has more hair than I do and I'm 5 months old! She's pretty... (I added a picture of her so that everyone can see...)

Today, some of the girls from our youth group at church went to the Graves Co. Library to read for story time... so I got to have story time at the library for the first time. I really liked the stories. I kicked my legs the whole time in my stroller. After the stories were over, we made crafts. I can't make crafts yet, so daddy made me a chain necklace like the rest of the kids. That's what I'm wearing in the picture...

I Can Hold My Bottle! Yay!

Well, once again... a lot has happened since I've written.

First of all, my Mommy had a birthday on the 21st. She is 23 years old... we had a good day together. I tried to be really good for her for her birthday because I know she's really tired. The reason that she is so tired is because I have decided that I don't need to sleep much. Not during the day, or at night... I just don't like to sleep. So Mommy's tired...

Let's see... what else? Oh yea, I've started holding my bottle! I do such a good job, but when it falls out, I have a hard time finding my mouth, and sometimes I squirt milk all over my face...

Saturday night we had a movie night at the Mayfield drive-in... I had so much fun!

Talk to you soon!

Daddy the Race Car Driver and Jax the Rolling Machine

The title of this may confuse you. No, Daddy's not a real race car driver, although Mommy would beg to differ sometimes after riding with him when he has road rage. But Daddy raced Friday night at the Paducah International Raceway in the "Faster Pastor" race. I have added a video of his race to the bottom of this post. He was the green car, number 86. He did well for the first part, but ended up finishing 7th (out of 8 drivers)! Even though he didn't win, we are proud that he didn't wreck! (And he did have the prettiest car out there... me and Mommy like green!)

As for the second part of the title... yes, I am a rolling machine. And I've even started scooting. I added a picture of me scooting Wednesday. Mommy put me down on my pallet and I scooted up underneath my swing. I also added a picture of this... you will notice the corner of my blanket in the bottom part of the picture and how far I scooted...

I hope that everything has a great weekend... I'll talk to you soon.

Playing Catch Up...

Well, I haven't written since I updated everyone on my trip... so I have a whole week of catch up to play. I haven't done a lot over the past week really. Wednesday was my Gran's birthday. We went to church that night and then we went to Gran's and had some cake and ice cream. My Mommy made my Gran a great birthday cake! Thursday night, Mommy and Daddy had to mow, so I stayed with Uncle Josh and Aunt Ber. It was a lot of fun... Ber walked me around, and Josh kept me entertained with the drill while he was hanging things on the wall in their new house. Friday morning, Daddy left to go on a mission trip to Elkhorn City in Eastern Kentucky with our church... I sure did miss him while he was gone... Friday night, me and Mommy went over to Uncle Josh and Aunt Ber's again for a grillout. Josh made some great cheeseburgers on his new grill. (Or atleast that's what everyone said. I'm not big enough to eat burgers yet. I had to settle for bananas...) After supper Mommy, Ber, Josh and Brian (Aunt Kelly's boyfriend) played "cornhole". Aunt Kelly and Selena played with me... I had fun. I thought it was funny when Mommy told me shhhhh. Saturday, me and Mommy cleaned house all day, and then Saturday night, we went over to Bubba and Heather's house to play cards. The power was out, so we had to play by candlelight. Sunday morning we went to church, and then we went out to eat with Gran, Day, Beth, and Kelsey at Los Pinos. Daddy got home from the mission trip at about 4:30. We went back to church and then Mommy and Daddy had a softball game at Sedalia. Gran watched me and I got to play with my cousin Addi a little bit.

I've been pretty fussy the last few days. I'm feally working hard at cutting teeth...

That's your Jaxon update...
