The Moore the Merrier: Jaxon Lately

Sweet Jaxon is 18 months old! He weighs 26 lbs, and I really don't know how tall he is because he hasn't had his appointment yet so yeah... haha I'll fill that in later. He is absolutely in love with Buzz Lightyear and brings me the remote every morning after breakfast and says "Buzz, Buzz?!" He has a stuffed Buzz and Woody that he carries around everywhere. He wears 18-24 month clothes, but he's taken after his momma, and his booty is starting to fill his jeans faster than his waist is; so we're hitting a little close to 24 months lately. Every night, he has to sleep with his Texas Rangers pillow pets, his glow-worm (that he's hated since I bought it), his Night Light animal, Buzz, Woody, Nemo, his Scentsy frog, and his sock bunny. Needless to say, his little bed is absolutely packed to the rim. He's down to one nap a day around 12:30 and only naps until about 2:30 or 3:00. He has a pretty large vocabulary; Buzz, Momma, Dadda, Ace, Eyes, thank you, uh oh, Uh huh, Yes, No, Bye-Bye, Hi, Puppy, Baby, Bubba, book, Nose, Bite, Boom ( thanks to His Auntie Koko), Night Night, Nemo, Ball, See, That, this, and he's a really really sweet kiss giver! He loves to give big ole bear hugs, and play ball. He and Ace are pretty inseparable, which is funny, because the day I brought Ace home, Ace felt the need to curl up with him and nap as often as he could. Ace and Ranger are two of the craziest Dogs I have ever had, and their little personalities (BIG personalities?) seem to show themselves more and more everyday.

Being that Jaxon has reached his second "half birthday" that can only mean that Christmas and Graduation recently came to pass also. Graduation was absolutely one of the most exciting times of my entire life. It was such a blessing to be surrounded by my family and friends at pinning, graduation and my graduation party. Sadly, I almost thought this day would never come. It seemed so far out of reach, from finding out I was pregnant at the end of my first semester, to struggling with Adult Health II, and struggling through leaving my sweet baby boy for 144 hours to complete my residency. I couldn't have done it without all of the support and encouragement and love I received over the past 2.5 years. Since graduation, I have been on the job search, and had a couple of offers, but nothing that I have accepted just yet. I refuse to settle for something I'm not 100% committed to, so I'm holding out for a position at Community Medical Center on the PCU, if it's not in the cards, I know life will sort itself out. I still have to take boards (which is a whole different story seeing as where there have been some issues with ASU/TxBON but I'm definitely ready to have that in my rearview mirror as well.

December is always a busy time at our house, and as soon as graduation was over it was time for Christmas festivities to begin. The weekend after graduation, we went to Baird to spend Christmas with Eddie's family at the ranch. As usual, it was a pretty rowdy fun time. Nothing beats a big family with lots of laughs, and great food. When we got home, it was time for Christmas Eve at our house, and Christmas Day at Tanya and Tobin's and My Dad's. Jaxon is a pretty lucky little guy, he got some really neat gifts and has already made good use of all of them! He got a slide that he loves to play on, a battery powered four-wheeler that he drives (backwards most of the time) all over the house and the yard, lots of blocks, clothes, and a new toy crate. He made out like a bandit, to say the least.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and I hope that 2014 blesses everyone with joy, prosperity, and love.

Until Next Time,
Peace, Love and Resolutions
