Jaxon had his 6 month checkup today. All is well with our BIG BOY!!! He weighed in today at 19 pounds flat (75%) and is now 27 inches (71%). We can no longer call our munchin long and lean, guess now we'll call him fatty! :)
The doctor was super impressed by his motor skills, especially for his size. He said it is usually harder for big babies to get around or hold themselves up. The doc had him sitting on the table when he decided to get down and head to the other end of the table. Of course Momma was proud at his perfectly planned time to show off!!! HEHEHEHE!
Jaxon's verbal is right on for a 6 month old (dada, baba, mama, etc...), nothing too impressive yet. We are excited for the day he actually associates the sounds he makes with people and things!
In other new news... Jaxon is 6 months old and we are FINALLY enforcing NO MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT BOTTLE (only in the last week). It was embarrassing to have to tell the doc that we just now are making him wait til morning at age 6 months when this should have happened at about 4, but so it is for this Momma who doesn't like to hear Jaxon cry!
Other things to remember... Jaxon eats 4 stage one baby foods per day and has cereal in his bottle throughout the day to help with spitting up. He LOVES Kinley, even when she is torturing him. He has a new defense, he has learned to pull her hair when she hassles him too much - oh the fights we are gonna have! :) He STILL has his "hospital" paci and we are STILL scared to death we are gonna loose it. He loves to play and he loves watching Baby Einstein, I'm sure we are going to have to monitor his tv time if he continues to love it soooo much! He still spits up puddles and we have decided to treat him with a reflex medicine once a day for the next couple months to see if it will help (this is where all Momma's friends can cheer because we are sure they are sick of him spitting up on their carpets!!!).
That's enough notes for now. Our little guy is amazing and as hard as it is to manage both Kinley and Jax while they are both so young, this is still the best time of our lives and can't imagine it any other way! Momma always says how she can't wait to be out of the "baby" stage, but must admit it is a little hard to know our "baby" is growing up so fast and is already 6 months old!

I love that little FATTY, he is getting sooo big sooo fast! :) He and Jake will be running around before we know it. :(
He is enormous! He doesn't even weigh 2 lbs less than Kate. Kate might have to beef up if she wants to remain the bully cousin!
My grandad would have said 'Jaxon was growing like a little weed' or maybe a big weed! Glad he is doing so well. Wasn't it just great of him to show off for the doctor? ;-) Perfect timing!
Jaxon might have to start wearing the "Big Guy" t-shirt pretty soon.
I truly can't believe our boys are six months. It is going SO FAST. I think Will is about the same size as Jaxon - we'll find out next week, but we were there for an ear check last week and he was over 18 pounds.
Does the cereal in the bottle help with spit up? Will is still TERRIBLE... but when I've tried cereal in his bottle it just gets clogged and then he gets mad.
