Smiles!!!

Mommy got some smiles today! He has given them to my mom, sister and Grandma but not me UNTIL NOW!!! His face has taken on a whole new cuteness since he has smiled at me!!

Cloth bum!!

SOOOOO cute, huh? I love his cloth diapered booty, it's so fluffy and large...lol. It probably sounds weird but I do.



Also, I cannot get this kid to sleep on his back. He startles a lot and wakes himself up EVERY time! I feel guilty letting him sleep on his tummy because of how 'they' say that tummy sleeping is a risk factor for SIDS. He will sleep on his back for about 30 to 45 minutes at a time but when he is on is tummy, he will sleep for 5 HOURS! That's nice for momma but it makes me SO nervous!

SO sweet.

Jaxon got a FedEx package yesterday. It was a DVD and a book from Ron. The USO was offering a program at the airport that allowed servicemembers to read a book to their kids on DVD. It is so sweet. He read him 'Green Eggs and Ham'...Jax and I watched it today. Jax got so quiet when Ron started talking, it made me so happy to feel like he recognizes his daddy's voice. I could tell that it was really hard for Ron to do, he almost cried at the very beginning and at that very end. He is such a strong man to be able to go back, I am 99% sure that I would have gone AWOL before leaving Jaxon behind.

Mom left this morning. Her visit was so great and much needed. I have decided that I am done saying goodbye to my loved ones. I WISH!!!!!!

He's so different!!!

I took this picture the other day and when I saw it on my computer, my heart sank. I realized that at only 3 weeks old, he looks SOOOOO much older!! Everywhere we go, Jax gets adored by strangers and then I get told how fast it goes by. I really don't care to hear that, I already know how fast it goes by and I just don't want to hear it.



Ron left yesterday. He should be home in March so it should go by pretty quickly, I can't wait to have him home for good...well, until the NEXT deployment...gah. It was so hard watching him say goodbye to Jax, it really felt like someone was stabbing me in the heart. Ron is so good with him and he was such a big help while he was home. I'm so lucky to have a man who gets true joy out of doing things for his wife. I miss him so much right now. He ran into a USO program that allowed him to read a book to Jax on DVD. He read him "Green Eggs and Ham", we should be getting it in the mail early next week.

Anywho, here are some pics!!!!!!

I rocked my vote!!!

I voted for the first time ever!! GO ME!!

Here are some pictures just because I love my life and I have to share it with all of my loved ones...
