Our Lil' Easter Bunny! Arrived cute, cuddly safe and early!!
Also my mom was still in town so she was lucky enough to enjoy Easter with us! Kaiden scored big from the Easter Bunny, with candy, no spill bubbles and a tie his mommy made him! It was so fun to see his eyes light up when he walked into the kitchen and saw his basket on the table! He really is the happiest kid ever! His laugh makes everyone laugh with him. =D And I hope Kaiden doesn't hold this against me, but I most assuredly helped him with his Easter candy! ;)
Do ya like the "blind effect"? haha.
Darren made me change him into his Easter outfit for pictures. Haha.
Jaxton Easter Morn'.
Later, Darren took pictures of the boys! Darren loves the new camera we got and any chance he gets he tries to take pictures of the boys. He's good at it right!?
Alright lets talk about that LOVABLE Jaxton! Its only been 3 weeks but we can't imagine life without him! He is the sweetest, most huggable, absolutley lovable baby ever!
The first week we only heard him cry once! He still doesnt cry often, only when he gets antsy about eating. He sleeps ALL the time, and is barely awake for an hour a day, although he is more alert every day. This makes the adjustment to 2 kids super easy. I seriously dont know how he sleeps through half of the noise Kaiden makes!
This is where he sleeps most of the day.
This, however, is his favorite place to sleep! In your arms!
Darren and I can't get enough of the lil guy and cuddle him as often as we can. Jaxton loves to sleep vertically, tummy to tummy!
My super excited, very happy face!
At night he usually only wakes up 1 time, rarely he wakes up 2 times. He wakes up just famished and he eats for about 5-10 minutes and then is passed out again. He is a VERY good eater! While most kids loose weight the first week or 2, our lil chunk packed on a whole pound by the time he was 2 weeks old!
He also has the best head of hair that curls so cute when its a little bit wet! Darren keeps warning me that if I keep playing with it, it will all fall out.
Darren is brushing his hair! Too cute!
Jaxton was bitten by the stork 2 times! On the back of his neck and on that part above the nose. Darren has stork bites in the same spots. lol.
The one on the back of his neck.
This is showing the one above his nose. Its super light, but you should be able to see it if you make the picture bigger.
Jaxton's least favorite part about his day, is bathtime. He really dislikes being naked and cold! Can ya blame the kid!?
We call Kaiden "Our Sour Patch Kid" because as you know from the commercials, "first they're sour then they're sweet". We think he's adjusted to the baby well. The first week he was a little rough on the guy, pointing out his eyes and hair (aka poking his eyes and pulling his hair). Kaiden was also pretty fussy that week so we took him to the Dr and it turns out he had a sinus infection and an ear infection. No wonder! Since he's been on antibiotics he's been alot better. Now he points out Jaxton's fingers and toes more than his eyes and rubs his hair more than he pulls it. When Jaxton cries, Kaiden says "Uh Oh" or "MAAAAAMAAAAAA" (Mama) and runs over to him and tries to put Jaxtons binky in his mouth. Its so cute! I really think Kaiden likes being a big brother! <3 Kaiden also got a taste of his first sno cone! The flavor of choice was Tiger's Blood and he LOVED it! Kaiden and his momma will be at the sno cone shacks all summer!!! YUM!
Kaiden making messes. As usual! The silly boy!
Darren and I moved again! I know! We've both got the Gypsy blood in us! Actually when we moved last time their were only 2 options at very small apartments and we thought we could make it work. But once Darren started talking about living in Rexburg a little longer, it got me to start searching craigslist. lol. And we found a steal on a 3 bedroom townhome that was ready immediatly. So we moved........... with a 10 day old! lol. My dad even flew out for a few days to help! Which was so nice since Kaiden and Grampa Mark are Best Buds! Grampa even took Kaiden out for ice cream! And of course Grampa fell in love with Jaxton! (Thanks dad for all the help!)

Kaiden LOVES the new place. It is big enough for him to run around in and has stairs for him to climb. We have a miniature backyard and live in a community with lots of other kids and a playground! Kaiden just loves the outside! We got a double stroller and on nice days I take the boys for a walk around the block. Spring is a big tease to Kaiden becuase we get in a habit of playing outside and then it gets cold and rainy and we have to stay indoors, which he hates. Our new windows are just his height and the poor kid just sits there looking out the window. One day we will live in a place thats nice and warm year round! =D
Fast forward to today, MOTHER'S DAY! Darren let me sleep in with Jaxton and he and Kaiden surprised me with breakfast in bed! Darren surprised me with the Bare Minerals make-up I've been needing and some Scentsy bars! Hooray! Since Darren is on his "Cave Man Diet" we eat BBQ Chicken or Steak and Potatoes every night. So when he asked me what I wanted for Dinner I told him pizza and wings! He had a good laugh out of that. For dessert we made Cookie Monsters. I make them the Provo way! You put Nestle Tollhouse cookie dough in a bowl and warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds, then you top it with cookie dough ice cream (my personal fave!) and hot fudge and whipped cream! Yumm! Of course we were out of fudge so we whipped up a batch. And if anyone needs some hot fudge sauce we have about 3 cups worth in my fridge. lol. Later we put Kaiden down and Darren watched Jaxton so I could finish up a sewing project my friend Laura Toone got me hooked on. Its a nursing cover also referred to as a Hooter Hider, there are other names I've heard it be referred to, but I wont list them here. lol. And since I'm Chelsea and I MUST go there, I had to use owl fabric! My goal was to have it finished before our trip to Utah this weekend! Wahoo!
Major props to the light switch for posing the Hooter Hider!
