Pumpkins / Pictures / Bath

PUMPKINS: After picking Jaxen up from school one day last week, we stopped at a small farm that had pumpkins for sale. Jaxen had the best time looking at and picking out pumpkins for him and Zane. He picked a ‘baby’ one for Zane and then two bigger ones for himself. I think he tried talking Nik and I into getting the ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ pumpkins…but that did not happen. Haha.





Once we got home, Jaxen was all about painting his pumpkins. So we did and he had a great time! He keeps telling me we need to paint them again because ‘there is still orange’. Haha!



PICTURE DAY: Last week Jaxen had picture day. He was not thrilled for some reason. So that morning, I pulled out his last two pictures that were taken at school. And then he finally agreed to go to picture day if he could show his teachers his pictures - so they got packed in his folder for school.

Let’s hope his actual picture turns out a bit better - haha!

BATH TIME: I love giving Zane a bath in our sink. Especially since he is sitting up better and better! I think he likes it (except when I pour water over his face). And he gets cold quickly - so I try to bathe him when it’s a warmer day and the sun is shining in.

Comparison

Zane is almsot 6 months old and I cannot get over how much
he and Jaxen look alike at this age.

Hence, a comparison post for you...
some pics are even in the same outfits :)

Life Lately

This toy was one of Jaxens (as most are) but Zane is totally loving it!
It will keep him entertained the longest of his toys right now.

Jaxen loves to have Zane come do ‘Night Night’ with him.
And I think Zane just loves Jaxen.

We made a trip to Sam’s last week and look at this big boy, sitting up 
in the cart all by himself!

One of the workers there gave us this balloon to tie to our cart.
It was a hit!
I actually gave it back before we left so he could pass it on to someone else.

This little one can scoot and move like no other.
I’m not even sure how he does it…
One minute he is on the rug and then the next, he is elsewhere.
Not crawling yet, just scooting his body. And rolling over. 

That face. 

Monday, while I was cooking dinner - Jaxen and Nik played with Play-doh.


Silly boys.


 Nik’s creations :)



My cutie husband with my cutie littlest.

We don’t take too many pics together anymore.

After school on Tuesday, I let Jaxen hang around and play on the playground.


Nap time!

The rest of our week is pretty full…
school picture day, bible study, hopefully a pumpkin patch, and possibly some apple picking.
Then Nik leaves Friday for a youth retreat and I need to clean my house!

Saturday Night

Our Saturday night looked a little like this…

Both boys in the bath.

Jaxen asked if he could help bathe Zane - 
so I washed and Jaxen rinsed :)

They had a great time together!

After Zane got out, him and Nik had some fun...


I just love his laugh...
And Nik is pretty good at getting it out of him!

After Jaxen went to bed, I cuddled up with my new homemade (not by me) blanket.
Isn’t is awesome?!

Zane had to get in on some cuddles too.

I cannot believe this little one will be 6 months old soon.
Be still my heart.
