Our Smilin' Baby Boy

Paxton is growing like a weed. Here are some fun close-ups of the little man.


Daddy is a funny guy!
Mommy's little Safari man.

Pax loves his head to be rubbed..it makes him smile every time!


All around a happy baby!


Here is a serious look...must be close to dinner.







A Day at the Beach

While in Charleston we had the opportunity to visit the beach a couple of times. The first time Caden saw so much water he ran right out, completely clothed, totally excited. It only took 5 minutes and being knocked on his rear by a couple of good sized waves did he decide that caution and respect of the mighty sea was in order. Of course it was mommy who had to deal with the soaked and sand filled shoes and DENIM shorts.







So on the second visit he was much more cautious. But this time decked out in swimsuit and beach shoes he eventually warmed back up and ended up having a great time as long as daddy was in arms reach.






Paxton also had his first beach experience, and loved it...but that was probably because he was nursing most of the time and when he finished he got to stretch out on his back and sunbathe a bit!

A Visit With The Great Grands

We had a wonderful week-long visit from the Great Grands...aka Nanny and Papa. The boys were spoiled rotten and all I have heard the past day and 1/2 since they left is "Papa, Papa!" I think we wore them out, but hopefully they will be fully recovered by the time we make it to Lubbock in June because I can guarantee that Caden will be ready to make up for lost time with his Papa! Thanks for all of the help...you guys sure made poop patrol much easier! Can't wait for your next visit!


Nanny and her Pax-assuming the position. I don't know who liked it more, him or her.


Papa and a wide-eyed Pax



I think they look a lot alike- must have got some of those Kitten genes.



Paxton was especially clean this week...lots of baths from Nanny.
We were out in the hills for an afternoon hike.



Taking in the view.


That is one big bathtub!


My son and cannon balls...can't be a good combination!




Luvin' the water.


Even big man needs some Nanny love.



Story time with Papa.

Easter Pictures and Growing Boys

Lots has gone on over the past month- it is hard to believe that Paxton is 5 plus weeks old. Time sure does fly when you don't sleep. I am going to try my best to get pictures up every week or 10 days instead of waiting so long in between, but I won't make any promises. Good news is that there are lots of new cute ones on now! Enjoy.

Doing the zoo with Gran

Caden is getting the hang of the big brother gig.
Paxton can't have all the fun alone!


And we thought Caden had outgrown this chair a year ago!


Caden knows how to cope with the screaming baby!

Bright eyed and taking it in.

Picts of Pax

Things are going well, we are all getting settled in. Paxton and I went to the pediatrician this morning and he was back at birth weight finally. My mom is still here with us a few more days and then reality is going to set in. I'll be mom of 2 under 2 with NO HELP!

Caden is taking everything in stride... with the expected whining and increase in attention seeking behavior but I think that we will get through it. If nothing else we will laugh a lot because some of his antics are too funny not to. Below are a few picts of the newest Jones from the past 2 weeks.

Posing for our birth announcement photo-shoot.


Here he is sitting up like a big boy already!

Doesn't he look like me!

Here is an arm full of a whole lot of boy.



Grandma loves her Pax.

It's a Boy- Paxton Chase Jones

Well the big day came, my water broke on Saturday evening about 6:30, and after Brian and Beci ran to Walmart and Lowes to pick up a few things we finally packed up and went to the hospital around 9, still with no contractions. So they decided to go ahead and start the induction about 10:30, and so on Sunday morning at 5:35am Paxton Chase joined us at his "birthday party". He weighed in at a hefty 8lbs 5oz, and was 20.5 inches long. Everyone was happy and healthy and we got to come home on Monday afternoon. So enjoy the pictures of the newest member of the Jones family!
