Jaxen's surgery

On May 4th Jaxen had his second surgery. His first one was in April, he had a clogged tear duct which they cleared out, it is doing so much better now! His second surgery was to correct a hydrocele he had. A hydrocele is where one of the testicles is surrounded by fluid, if untreated it could turn into a hernia or other complications could arise. Anyways, so here he is getting ready for surgery, they gave him some medicine to calm him down before he went back which made him so funny. He was like a drunk baby, he just kept laughing at everything and he was really wobbly, it made things easier for me because he was making me laugh! His little hospital gown was so cute, but sad at the same time.

 The surgery lasted about an hour. They came and got me and took me back to him, he was pretty sad and not fully awake yet.

 He drank a full cup of apple juice, and then threw it up all over me. But then he seemed to feel better, I think he was starving because he ate 4 saltine crackers, 2 graham crackers, and some jello. We were able to go home a little over an hour after the surgery. He was a little fussy the rest of the day, but was basically back to himself the next day. I'm glad both his surgeries are over, hopefully we won't have any more!

Easter in Utah

This post may be a month late, but better late than never I guess! Jaxen and I came to went to Utah for a couple of weeks at the end of March-beginning of April. So we were there for Easter. Jaxen had a cold so we didn't end up going to the Hooper Easter egg hunt, but here he is at Grandma and Grandpa Bingham's doing the hunt for prizes in the field! He got a lot of fun prizes and candy! It was fun!

He loves Balls!

Later we went to Great Grandpa Jones' for dinner and another Easter egg hunt

Jaxen was more interested in balls that were in the backyard :)

No longer a baby

Jaxen's a year old!

Dear Jaxen,
You are the best! I can't believe you are a year old! You grew up way too fast! Here is a list of things you are doing these days:

• you give momma and dadda the best hugs, we love them so much!
• you know where your ears are
• you can say nanna when you see a banana
• you say "bask" for basketball and love when daddy lifts you up to put the ball in the hoop
• you love Kenai and sometimes feed him your food
• you climb up and down the stair easily and love to be chased!
• you lay down your head on my chest when I say "lay down"
• you lay your head down on anything that is soft...blankets, stuffed animals, laundry out of the dryer
• you love to be on your stomach in the bathtub so you can stay warm, and sometimes you drink the water.
• you love your binki and love to have a binki in your hands as well as in your mouth when you go to sleep.
• sometimes you chew on your crib
• you clap your hands when we sing "if you're happy and you know it clap your hands"
• you wave "hi" and "bye" to almost everybody
• you get into everything...the cabinets, momma craft stuff, kenai's food and water...
• you'll eat basically anything and we can never seem to get you full!
• most of the time you sleep 12 hours at night, and two-2hour naps during the day
• you have 11 teeth
• you love playing with balls
• your kind of a small guy, 20% for height and weight.
• you walk everywhere and don't really crawl anymore
• you know that remotes control the tv and our lights

You bring so much joy into our lives, we don't know what we ever did without you!

Love, Momma and Dadda
