My babies are getting big!

I can't believe Jaxon is already 18 months and Chloe 6 months! It seems unreal to me. We sure love them to death and they have brought so much happiness into our lives. We had their 18 month and 6 month pictures taken a couple weeks ago by my sweet cousin Kristen. She is amazing and as always the pictures turned out great. I wanted to post a few of my favorites and post the stats for each of the kiddos from their check-ups a couple weeks back.

Jaxon Danger 

Weight: 29 lbs (84th percentile)

Length: 33.5 inches (84th percentile)

Head Cir: 19 inches (70th percentile)

He is getting so smart. It's been amazing to watch him learn and grow over the last few months. Its awesome now to know that he understands what we're saying. He is very obedient (most of the time) and can usually answer us when we ask him a question. He loves to help get diapers and wipes for me when I need to change Chloe. And if she's ever fussy Jaxon will bring her her bottle or a toy and 'chat' with her. It's adorable to watch them interact with eachother. He has learned how to climb out of his crib so we got him a toddler bed about a month ago. He thinks its a toy and loves to run and jump on it, but has yet to sleep in it. (we're getting there...) He has learned how to throw a tantrum. Which are so much fun. NOT! Luckily they usually don't last long and its easy to switch his attention. He loves taking walks and going to the park. He's a little climber and is constantly climbing on anything and everything. He loves books and can often be found reading them to Chloe. (upside down of course, as in the banner photo above). He loves to color and is so good about only drawing on paper. Hopefully this continues and he doesn't move to the furniture and the walls. He loves Yo Gabba Gabba (the ONLY show he will ever watch) He loves to dance and sing with them. It's hillarious to watch. He loves spinning in circles and laughes and laughes when he gets dizzy and falls and can't walk straight. He is constantly talking and singing although we can't make out most of the words he is saying. Here are the words he says all the time that we can understand: Mama, Dada, BaPa (for grandpa) GaMa (for grandma), BaBa (for milk), Juice, Yes, No, Yup, Okay, Please, Go, Jesus (his FIRST word! ha), BroBro (for Brobie from Gabba Gabba), Out, ByeBye, NiteNite, PooPoo...I'm sure there are a few more but I'm drawing a blank. Oh and he loves making animal sounds :)

Chloe Michelle

Weight: 19.8 lbs (97th percentile)

Length: 27.5 inches (93rd percentile)

Head Cir: 17.5 inches (90th percentile)

*Chloe was only in the 4th percentile at her 2 week appt so now to think she is in the 90th and above is crazy to me! And she's bigger than Jax was at 6 months and usually girls are smaller. We are loving all her rolls!

Chloe is such a happy baby. With Jaxon so mobile now and getting into everything, I love how 'easy' Chloe is. I am not looking forward to her becoming mobile as well and having to chase both of them around. She is hardly ever fussy and is always smiling. Although she could be a better sleeper at night. She stills wakes up 2-3 times a night but always falls right back asleep after a bottle or some bouncing. She started rolling over consistantly almost a month ago. She 'tries' to hold her own bottle but has yet to get through a feeding without dropping it. She loves rolling, being in her jumper and she loves her standing entertainment center. She loves to be moving. We started her on veggies about a month and a half ago and fruits a couple weeks ago. She's not a fan of rice cereal but loves everything else. She squeals when she see's someone walk into the room and starts kicking her legs with excitement. And she loves her brother. No one can make her laugh and smile like Jaxon. I swear they have their own little language.

I know some people think its crazy that they are so close together. And sometimes I can be overwhlemed with all the diapers, and feedings and Jaxon's tantrums and such but I love how they are with eachother. Jaxon never is jealous. He never gets upset with her. He loves her so much and is constantly playing with her and trying to hold her. When she is in her bouncer or her swing he starts piling on blankets and toys for her to play with. He tickles her, sings to her, dances with her and is non stop talking to her. I love having them so close and I wouldn't change a thing! Happy Half Birthday Jaxon, Chloe and Scotty!
