sandy toes...take one

take two....

take three...

We decided to take a mini vacation down to Longboat Key, where my (Lauren's) parents have an (AMAZING!) beach house they just finished renovating. Bri & Jacob (& baby Bear) came with-& Jax had his 1st beach experience...putting his little toes in the sand for the first time. He also had his first time in a pool as well, since they have a salt water pool at their house down there-which is way better than chlorine for babies. Bri was awesome to capture these memorable moments for us (we love you!)...here are some of the pics.

howling with daddy.

Jax has really started interacting more with us this week, and just becoming more aware of his surroundings in general. He LOVES morning time with us-after he's fed we bring him in bed for a bit, to laugh and play and now, talk, or 'howl' up a storm. Daddy started making a variety of sounds with Jax, and this howling has stuck-so its a normal morning routine now. so cute.

**2 MONTH UPDATE: Jaxon is now 15.3 lbs & 24.5 inches long!!!**

bumbo time!

we recently started putting Jax in his bumbo seat, since he's getting so good at holding his head up. also, its helped him discover his feet! (as you can see in the 2nd picture). not to mention the a-dorable hat we just bought him that he's sporting here.

monkey love.

Jaxon absolutely loves his monkey mobile, that we moved onto his pack-n-play crib until he's sleeping in his big crib...this is just a few of the smiles we get each time he lays under them to get changed.
