Kryptonite Cuddles

Well, I haven't posted anything in over a week b/c we've been sick. Nothing serious just the annoying 70 degrees one day 28 degrees the next crud. Gaga went with me to take Jax to the Dr. just to be sure he was ok and we found that our little linebacker weighs in at 29 pounds 1 ounce these days. Of course that's fully dressed with a wet diaper right after lunch but still, very impressive.

We also went with Gaga, Bill and Grandmommy to North Park to see the trains exhibit and Scrooge. Jax loved the trains and was mildly impressed by Scrooge. We didn't get any good pictures of anything other than the adults RUNNING after Jax or holding him in place. I swear he trains to be a sprinter when we are in public!

He's also been the sweetest snuggler lately. Our recent bedtime routine has morphed into over 30 minutes of snuggle time in our bed before putting him in his crib. It's supposed to be 5 minutes of cuddles but he's very persuasive! He just rolls around and puts both of his hands on my cheeks and exclaims "mmmmmmm, momma, hmmmmmm" and then does the love sign. Afterwards he rolls over and does the same to Jay. Basically repeating that leaves Jay and I defenseless against all bed time logic for long periods of time. I just know this phase won't last forever and want to get in all of the cuddles possible.

On the injury side, Jackson accidentally gave me a bloody lip this week (my first ever I think) by playing with a plastic water bottle a little too roughly. Then later I was tickling him and he slammed his head into my nose. Being his mom is the greatest job in the world but it's not for wimps!

Gaga holding Jackson in place waiting for Scrooge.



Jackson slightly amused by the entrance of Scrooge. He quickly lost interest when Scrooge didn't talk to him.



"You WILL enjoy this son!"

Gee, why is Gaga carring him instead of letting him sit and watch like the other kids?



Finally we just let him walk around and explore the mall.

I would be surprised if there were other kids his age "sitting and watching" the show. That's just not normal. He is a cutie!

I'm sorry you guys have been sick -- no fun! I hope you're fully recovered in time for Christmas. And I agree about Jackson's cuddles -- he is the master!
