A Monday Evening to Remember...

So here I am, Jax is almost 9 months old, and this is the first post I am posting. People with children and full time jobs will understand, even though this was not what I had planned. But does anything ever go according to plan, especially when you have children? I am a relatively new parent yet I can already see this. That's not to say the kids haven't done blog-worthy things over the last 9 months, but I am now able to find a little time to share...

Recently the kids spent the weekend at my in-laws' house, and there they spent some time with my niece, Lily, who is 4 months older than him. Since then, Jax has picked up on the art of, well to put it bluntly, screeching. Oh yes. Hey, it could be worse. So Romann, who is 6, comes out with this: "Was I annoying like that when I was a baby?"

And all Jax has to say is "Da-da-da-da-dada.....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

I also will be accepting Parent of the Year Award, for one of my latest pictures of Jax. For the first time, I witnessed him, as I was checking Facebook on my phone, out of the corner of my eye I see him pull himself up on the recliner, first to his knees, and then all the way to his feet. I was so proud, yet I knew I had to remain calm. I quick exited out of my Facebook App and pulled up my Camera App to take a picture, and right as the camera snapped the picture, sure enough, Jax fell backward, first to his butt and then slightly bashed his head on a small toy rattle. SMH....Father of the Year...

He hasn't let that stop him, though. When he's not incessantly Humping the floor, he's always trying to crawl towards the steps (which do go down I might add), pulling himself up on whatever object tickles his fancy...

He also likes to pretend he's little Frankie from Gabriel Iglesias' shows. He's learned how to say "Yyyyyeeeaaaaahh!" and "Yay!"
