Jax turns 2!

My baby boy turned 2 last week!!! I can't believe it. It feels like just yesterday Dave and I were going crazy waiting for him to get here. I've put together some pictures throughout the last 2 years of our little Jax....

The day he was born...poor little guy was pretty beaten up.

This is one of my favorite pictures of Jax! Jaxon was 3 months on Halloween.

Jaxon's 2nd birthday party. Here he is blowing out his candles.

Eating cake and holding his Cars. He loves CARS!!

Jax opening his presents. Each time he'd open a gift he'd say "WOW"

this picture is just because I couldn't help but post it. Poor kid looses his pants all the time. He's so skinny but so tall so it's hard to find the right size for him. I guess he lost his pants while going down the slide and when he ran over to tell us he stepped in mud. Jaxon HATES to be dirty so he just stood there yelling "Ohhhh what is that?" It was pretty cute!
Jax has brought us so much joy the last 2 years. We can't imagine our family without him. He's a crazy little kid but he is a lot of fun and is always saying/doing such funny things. Here are just 10 out of the 100 billion reasons I love Jax!

1. He has such a tender heart. He always wants to make people happy and hates it when people are upset. If he thinks you're mad, he'll come up and put his arm around you and say "hi" in this really sweet voice.

2. He is really good with his little sister. He loves to hold her (even though she weighs more than him) and always makes sure she is doing what she is supposed to be doing. Whenever she gets into anything she shouldn't he runs and takes it from her and says "No, no Addi girl"

3. Jaxon HATES to be dirty. If he gets anything on his hands he comes to me and says "ohhh noo mom" and shows me what is dirty. I love that because I hate anything dirty as well!

4. To follow that one...he also cleans for me. Whenever he spills something on the floor he quickly runs to get a towel to clean it up. It is amazing!! I have a story to go with this one....the other day we were at Dave's moms house and all the kids were outside playing with chalk. Jax saw what they were doing and ran inside, grabbed some wet wipes, ran back out and started cleaning the chalk off the sidewalk. It was adorable! I've taught him well!!

5. He loves to pray! Everytime we sit to eat, Jax is usually the first one with his arms folded and head down. He always just mumbles in this high pitched, sweet voice and then throws his arms up and just Amen! The other day Dave was at work and we were eating dinner and Jax stopped in the middle and started to pray. He was mumbling a bunch of words and then said "and papa and dada and mama. Amen." It was the most precious thing I have ever heard!!!

6. He now calls everyone "bud". Whenever he see's something that he likes he'll come up to you and say "That's cool bud".

7. He loves to eat anything, healthy and unhealthy. For the longest time he wouldn't tell me what he wanted, he would just cry and I would always say, "What do you want?" and now he thinks that's what eat/hungry means. Everytime he is hungry he comes up to me and says "what do you want?"

8. He loves to go "bye-bye" and everytime I start to get ready, he runs and puts his shoes on, then brings everyone in the house their shoes as well. Then he just stands by the door till it's time to go.

9. He loves to sing and dance. He has started to dance some of the dance steps to the hawaiian dances we've learned. He does them everytime he hears the music. He also is always humming or singing something. I'm soo happy he got the musical genes from Dave!

10. He is my little cuddle bug! He loves to climb up on your lap with his blanket and just snuggle up to you. It's is so precious and I know I'm going to miss that so much when he stops.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY JAXON! WE LOVE YOU!!!
