Happy 60th Wedding Anniversary to my Grandparents! :)

60 years together...what an amazing accomplishment in life and love. We feel so very blessed to have such amazing Grandparents. Their love for each other and our family is something to be celebrated. We had so much fun spending time together on their recent trip to Portland.





Jax with his Great-Grandparents! :)


We are all here because two people fell in love! :)

We recently had family pictures taken...here are some of my favorites!

Zoo Day! :)

Our SUPER FLOATER!!! :)

Jax earned his SUPER FLOAT award at swim today! :) This means that he can fall into the pool (or be pushed by mom...sorry Jax!), go under, float back up to the top, and stay on his back for a full 5 minutes...all while completely clothes...shoes and all! :) We are so very proud of this amazing accomplishment! He has been in swim lessons at Swim Babes since he was 4 months old...and at only 18 months, I know that if he accidently fell into a pool that he would know how to survive! WAY TO GO JAX...Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you. :)

Silly Daddy!

Here is a funny story:

Scott put Jax down for bed the other night. He was taking forever to come out of his room so I finally went in to check on them and this is what I found! Scott was snoring and Jax was totally content having Daddy in his bed with him! Moments like this melt this mama's heart! :)

His list of words so far...

We have quite the talker on our hands (he must get that from Daddy!). :)

Let's see if I can name all of his words. These are all words that he uses on a regular basis and knows the meaning of. He is also very good at repeating words back at us if we ask him too!

Names:
Mama, Mommy, Dada, Daddy, Poochie, Baylee, Uncle, Auntie

He can say Grandpa too but it isn't super clear yet...Grandma still sounds like "mama"

Food:
Apple, banana, gish (Goldfish), cheese, turkey, baba (bottle)

Ones that we can understand but are still a little unclear: strawberry and blueberry

We are currently working on water, which he can say but hasn't said it to actually ask for it when he wants it.

Animals:
Horse, gish (his version of fish)

Vehicles:
Airplane, tractor, boat, truck

He says fire truck but it's one that only a few of us can understand. :)

Misc:
Ball, up, down, hi, bye, bath (if we say this word he RUNS to the tub...he loves bath time!), hot, balloon (still ones of his favorte things), bubble, walk, moon, sunshine, ocean, park, blanket, baby

Phrases:
love you (this is my favorite by far!) and all done

oh and course Imma Be should be on this list. :)

Signs that he does:
More, All Done

Words that we have to be careful with:
Bye bye, walk, outside, or park...these all mean we are going NOW according to him! :)
