Carroll Family Life

Jax: Mom I'm bored. And I'm gonna hollar and drive you crazy until you find something new for me to do
Mom: think, think, think... what can we try that we haven't already done today
Jax: getting louder, arching back
Mom: swimming pool
Jax: Mom, the water is cold, this diaper (little swimmer) feels weird, and ugh - its so not warm enough outside for this
Mom: Brain fart... what was I thinking. Guess we should get out - crap - I forgot to get a towel!

That killed maybe 15 minutes... it was just one of those days!

Jax has been thinking about crawling for a while now. He just never seems to have anything that he wants bad enough to crawl for it. Well, he has an extreme fascination with the remote control (go figure - hundreds of toys and thats his favorite). So, I put it just out of his reach, and he crawled/lunged his way across the floor to get it!

We are finally big enough to climb on our firetruck a little bit. Of course, I was a nervous wreck taking the picture thinking he was gonna fall and bump his head. But he seemed to enjoy standing up and chewing on the bar :)

I think Jax is as relieved as I am that Tax Season is OVER! He was in a much better mood yesterday - and so was I.

We went to a consignment sale and got some new toys - and played hard all day. He was back to his old self. Smiling and laughing like crazy.

I am super excited for this weekend. I get to see my bff Tiff and her precious new baby, Kaleb. Then Sunday we will be taking our first family pictures. I am super pumped. The photographers website is www.photograhybyjoyelle.com.

I have to go shopping today to get us something to wear for the pics. Aunt Sierra got Jax this awesome button up shirt - so he is wearing that... I just have to find something equally awesome for mom and dad. I just hate having another reason to shop - sarcasm intentional!

I hope everyone has a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. Handy Manny is over, so I have to get back to "work."
