He's scratch & bruise free...

...at least for now. It seems like since Jaxon was 5 or so months old he has always had at least one scratch or bruise on his little face. Here he is scratch & bruise free. This lasted for only a few hours. He woke up the next morning with a small scratch under his eye. But here is proof that for a short period of time, he was scratch and bruise free!!I also love this picture because he's giving his bear a love. He's so sweet and he loves the bear that his Great Grandma and twin cousins got for him last Christmas.

His new thing to do now is to climb. He will climb on anything and everything. Here is climbing onto his toy box only to try to find a way onto the table next to it and then where?

I haven't been able to get a shot of him once he gets all the way up because I have to be there to make sure he doesn't fall off. Josh says "he'll only do it once," but I'm not about to let him fall when I can help it from happening.

Trip to the Seattle Aquarium

Last week, we had to take Jaxon to the Childrens hospital in Seattle for an EEG. He had a few episodes of passing out at the beginning of October and the doctor wanted to do some further testing just to make sure that everything was alright. The morning of the EEG we had to get him up early and not let him nap. That was not an easy task. So we decided to take a trip to the aquarium to keep his little mind going.

He thought the octupus was so neat.

He even got to touch different things in the water, although here he is more interested in watching the people on the other side of the water.

So all in all it was a good, fun time. The EEG part wasn't so fun and unfortunately we are going to have to make another trip in December. There was one abnormal spike that our doctor wants to be checked into further. Mainly, just confirming that it is nothing to be concerned about.The good news is that he has not had anymore episodes and his development has not been hindered whatsoever. He is a normal, happy, healthy 11 month old baby.

We're Blogging

Well, I'm blogging. Josh probably doesn't really care about this whole idea but I think it will be fun. It's a great way to keep everyone up to date on our 'happenings'. I will try to post something often and hope that as I get this all figured out it will come more naturally. I've been somewhat keeping in touch with people on MySpace for the past several months but this is a way to stay current with those who do not have a MySpace profile. Here we go...
