Happy 1 month to our Baby Jax! What a sweet angel Jax is! At 10 lbs., he is our blond chunky monkey with the yummiest cheeks I just want to kiss all day long. Can you believe he's already wearing size 1 diapers and 0-3 month size clothes.... no more "newborn" (hold on while i wipe a tear...). So crazy how time is whizzing by with our Jaxi, a nickname that Taj gave him and its really caught on. Jax's hair and eyes are lightening up each week, and he shares his stork mark (temporary birthmark between his eyebrows) with his older bro. He loves to look around, even when he is napping it always seems like he keeps one eye open so to not miss a thing! Jax does great with tummy time, most of the time cat napping on his belly. His neck is very strong, he can hold his head up and turn his head with minimal bobbing, so impressive. His favorite "viewing spot" is looking over our shoulder. Jax loves to eat, and he beat the odds this past week by finally latching on and breastfeeding (mind you he only prefers the left breast!) Maybe next month he will figure out how to latch on to the right breast! LOL I'm so happy to have this bonding time together, neither mama or baby gave up on each other! We do half breastfeeding (mostly in the mornings and early evenings at home), and half bottle feeding (with the milk I pump.) He eats every 2-3 hours, and chomps away on his pacifier (same pacifiers Taji took in the beginning). Jax loves riding in and chilling in his snuggly carseat (we take him out to restaurants and such, and he is as content as he can be snoring away.) He also likes his bouncy chair, swing, vibrant tummy time playmat, and looking at mommy's black and white striped shirt (that mommy hangs over the couch so Jax can stare at it). He loves holding on to the baby plastic rings and is practicing his grip. He loves going anywhere where his brother goes, especially outside where the two share a stroller. He's also been in the BabyBjorn carrier when mama made a trip to Trader Joes grocery store. Whether its a stroller ride to the park or a bath in his wash pod, Jax continues to be an easy-going baby and mostly cries and fusses when he is hungry!
This last month, Jax experienced his first bath, first stroller ride to the beach (and park!), first shopping trip to Fashion Island, first restaurant dinner at no other than Great Maple (where we celebrated him in my belly just weeks before he was born.) He also had his first lunch date (Rose's Bakery), first breakfast date (at Anastasia's in Laguna Beach), first playdate/ story time, attended his first birthday party (his cousin Chloe's 7th birthday,) first time at the grocery store, and first time staying with a babysitter (while I took Taj to story time and Frogg's Bounce house for a little mother-son time.) He had many visitors and was showered with many gifts from his grandparents and relatives. Jax is loved by everyone everywhere we go, and very much doted on by his big brother, mama, and dada. Happy 1st month sweet Jaxi, you have no idea how happy you make us and how much joy your bring to our home! I love your "dancing", and "cheering" (with his arms), your little noises when you stretch, your cooing sounds, and just this morning (on the first day of your 5th week) we saw your incredible smile! My heart skipped a beat! Thank you for that amazing surprise!
