Our little man is 8 weeks old today! This newborn thing goes by way to fast for me- especially since the rest of my life doesn’t stop! He is sure one loved little boy! (although in the middle of the night my subconscious mind kicks in and I still refer to him as a girl… I’m working on that! )
Here’s some pictures of our last five weeks and the run down… I know it’s a lot, but maybe if I didn’t wait two months to update it, it wouldn’t take so long!
-Jaxon’s two-week-old pictures we took for announcements
-Grandma and Grandpa Taylor came down for Spring Break and Aunt Soni and Ethan (LOVE him) even got to come for a couple of days.
-We were able to bless Jaxon while everyone was here, it was great- blessing days are my favorite mommy days!
-Chelsea’s baby Kennedy is here and adorable- she is only 6 days younger than Jaxon so I call the twin cousins. It’s so cute to see them doing the same thing.
-Sara also had her baby last week, and so he gets another precious girl cousin to play with. I’ll have to say they are the cutest little babies (not that I’m biased).

Nope, I’m not worried at all about Jaxon being surrounded by so many girls…especially when Daddy came in the other day whistling the theme song from The Little Mermaid!!!

The twins turned 6 last week…that’s crazy to me. For their birthday, they wanted to invite their kindergarten teachers over for dinner and go to Libby Lu to get makeovers- they say they’re sure they didn’t want a big party...I didn’t push that one.
It didn’t go as planned as Jaxon and I had to go to California for my grandpa’s funeral- but I’ll get their birthday blog up soon!

Our Baby boy turned one week old on Thursday- so here’s some pics of our first week with blue in the house! I’ll have to say, I love the boy thing- he is so sweet! Well, I don’t love all of the boy stuff…the circumcision really threw me for a loop- that part is awful- but other than that, things are great. He’s eating really well and way more than all the girls. He weighed in at 9lbs and 14oz at one week! He gained almost a half a pound from his birth weight. Other than missing all the cute newborn outfits I have, I love my chubby baby! This week was eventful for him, he had to get his biliruben checked three times (so sad), and then the “boy” issue and a couple checks- but everything is normal now. This past week has been so great as Troy had the week off, and handled everything around the house, so all I had to do was hold my baby. With this being the last of the Taylor babies, this has been the best gift I’ve ever received- I haven’t missed a second. I honestly have the best husband in the world, I hope Jaxon is just like him!! The girls LOVE him and want to hold him every second. Gracie is actually doing really great with him- she is so soft and sweet with Jaxon, then she’ll turn around and put the smack down with the rest of us. She is especially naughty when I feed him, because she knows it will take me a few to catch her.
Ok, so every picture I take makes him look really huge...he is big and has chubby cheeks, but doesn’t look quite this big in real life!

Baby Jaxon is here!!!

He’s here!!! What a difference a day makes…Wednesday we spent the day getting ready for the induction, and Thursday we went from 4 to 5 kids- just like that! I know I’ve done this a few times, but the miracle is just as great on the fifth one. That whole little living being was inside of me two days ago- crazy! Our precious little guy came at 9:04am- just two hours after the Doctor broke my water. I started hurting about 7:30 and only had to endure an hour and a half…way better than the last delivery! Other than not having an epidural, I couldn’t have asked for a better delivery. Troy was a champ (as always) and my mom and sisters were there, as well as two awesome doulas (the hospital staff let us bend the rules on the number in the room) . Everything went great, and as you can imagine when I was looking at his cute little face my first question was “Is it a boy?” Sure enough- still a boy and a very big boy- he was 9 lbs and 8 oz and 21.5 inches long. After hearing his weight, I felt very validated that I couldn’t walk for those last few weeks! He’s the sweetest little cuddly baby and the girls are so thrilled to have a brother! Here’s some pictures of the big day, and hopefully, I’ll get around to updating things again soon!
